Oops...my mistake!Cleanupbabe (talk) 21:34, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Greetings, Handsome - I'm hoping you're the right one to notify. I found your User name on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Coordinators list. In Wikidata, for the item Category:Cinema of Nigeria - of the twenty existing language projects (WPs), missing are Yoruba and Igbo, not to mention other African languages. The Yoruba WP page yo:Nollywood hasn't any category. I do "housekeeping" edits in four African-language WPs (ZU, XH, YO, IG, over 6K altogether, and over 9K edits in Wikidata) but need help with spelling. YoWp has only one admin and some new pages are being created on films - so I thought to ask if you'd kindly take action on behalf of AfroCine. Appreciate this! -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 18:51, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello bro! And thanks for the invite. Can you add me cos I am new to Wikipedia and don’t know my way around very much :) May be that’s why I have fallen into trouble with so many ppl on here. LOL Cheers Ppdallo (talk) 15:46, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
Greetings!
Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.
It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!
We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!
Thank you once again for being part of this global event!
Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to The Headies 2013, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Hi HandsomeBoy and compliments of the season. As an experienced editor, I was wondering if you have an idea of what one can do when multiple reliable sources report different things about an essential part of a subject life. Say the Punch reports that he died in Abuja, Guardian says he died in US and other sources say either of the two. With warm regards, Mahveotm (talk) 17:02, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello, HandsomeBoy. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Barakat Quadre".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the ((db-afc))
, ((db-draft))
, or ((db-g13))
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Dolotta (talk) 16:08, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch about my tag on Covenant University. My issue was that there sometimes seems to be a gap between what the sources say and the wording used in the article.
I was also a bit troubled by the paragraph about the pro-chancellor: "qualitative pursuit of her vision and mission" sounds weaselly to me, and is not sourced. And the word "feat" is not neutral.
I also noticed that the article correctly says that Covenant won the Nigerian section of the CFA Institute Research challenge, but does not say where it came in the global finals - whcih suggested to me that the article was less than neutral.
Finally, I wondered whether the "Recent Developments" section gives undue weight to the various rankings and praise for the university, in comparison to the info about the courses, which is minimal, and the sentence at the end about lawsuits and criticism. I'm sure it's not your and other editors' intention but the length of the Recent Developments compared to the rest of the article does make it feel promotional.
Feel free to remove the tag, and thanks for your work on the article and elsewhere in Wikipedia. Tacyarg (talk) 17:43, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi HandsomeBoy,
I don't think the usage of the word "Moreover" in that instance is wrong. Having said that, I believe you worded the sentence better. Thanks. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 21:32, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Mercy Johnson.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:03, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello WOSO editors! What a 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France! There has been a lot of activity on tournament- and player-related Wikipedia articles with all of the worldwide coverage of the tournament and its players. Let's keep the momentum going. WOMEN IN SPORTS EDIT-A-THON FOR JULY + AUGUST! Get all the info here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/126 Sign up and help fill in the gaps within various articles related to women's football / soccer - whether they be players, teams, leagues, historical, administrators, referees, etc. Every little bit helps. Be sure to tag your article talk pages with ((WIR-126)). These edit-a-thons are a great way to work with others to help bridge the gender gaps on Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions!
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in two currently active women's leagues)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: ((WP Women's sport|footy=yes))
Want some tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? |
Thank you for your continued contributions to articles related to women's football / soccer (WOSO)! |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Africa Movie Academy Awards ceremonies, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Matthews (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hey, it’s been a minute & It’s good to you holding your own excellently. Please assist me here, there are very few editors who are as interested in in the nollywood industry as you & I, so I was thinking yeah. Could you please suggest to me certain veteran nollywood stars who are yet to have an article included in the encyclopedia maybe one or two so I could create articles for them. I keep trying to remember their names but for the life of me I can’t. Their faces I know in my mind but their names clearly have eluded my memory. Cheers Celestina007 (talk) 08:56, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello HandsomeBoy, warm greetings to you and complements of the season. I have been following you most recently after I stumbled upon you on a related article I contributed to and ever since, I quite very often notice your name pop up most times while contributing to Nollywood notable names and veterans included. I joined Wikipedia back in 2015, even though not very active, but averagely up until my account was blocked for reasons clearly stated which I learnt my lessons and moved on whilst ensuring all instructions are strictly adhered moving on. This is where I stumbled upon the quiet, decisive and supportive Celestina007 whom I have been meaning to talk to on her page like this, for like forever now, but here we are. I see you dear Labutnum, I appreciate you and admire you greatly and immensely for all you do here and elsewhere on wikipedia. I appreciate you. The very two Wikipedians I admire in one place. How hearth warming this is for me. Summarily, I love Nigerian cinema-related content and its practitioners a whole lot and will like to be here for good, abiding by all rules and will also love to be both of your friends. Warmest regards to you both. Love, Don VN (talk) 07:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi HandsomeBoy. You used the royalty infobox for the article Efunsetan Aniwura and subsequently the category "roylaty" has been added. It has now been translated into Portuguese and the author has added the royalty "category". Yet, nothing in the text indicates that she is royal and from what I have read, an Iyalode is not a royal. So my question is whether you merely used the infobox as a suitable one in which to include the details. Looking forward to your reply, regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 00:57, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Good evening Boss. Recently I've made edits concerning Nigerians... And I noticed that Celestina007 is a Nigerian article deleted/opposer. E dey vex me small small say as 9ja pipo we still dey kick each other for Wikipedia, which is a place where we should let the world know about what we got. Vanguard, Punch, Legit.ng cannot cover everything in Nigeria and the other sites in Nigeria isn't considered as "Notable". Recently I made an article Dandy Jackson Chukwudi, it was approved and nominated for deletion. Dandy Jackson Chukwudi is one of the young Abia enterpreneurs which should be known (we have similarity in name. Lol) BUT it's an English Wikipedia... Nevertheless, see if you got take a look at it.

It suddenly hit me to create a standalone article for Olumba Olumba the self proclaimed “God” but during a prerequisite research on the individual before article creation, I had a great epiphany as I observed both father & son bore the exact same name. There was no Sr or Jr to differentiate the father from the son as both were referred to as Olumba Olumba, I’m in a fix now, I intend to create an article on the son (the light skinned, tall and big Olumba Olumba) and not his father(the dark skinned, short and petit Olumba Olumba) & do not even know how to go about that now, reliable sources do not even differentiate one from the other(some do though, by calling the son “Rowland” but per COMMONNAME, his name should be Olumba Olumba) this sort of wahala is why i presume as notable as they are, they don’t have biographical articles on them. Our predecessors, probably faced this challenge and decided it probably wasn’t worth the stress, & the closest thing to articles on them is an article on their spiritual movement named Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, where two sections in the article have a biography for father & son, do you think it is best as it currently is? keeping in mind that both qualify for standalones? Padi mi wetin you reason? because, on God “this kind thing I never see o” yup! In Wizkid’s voice. Celestina007 (talk) 19:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Everipedia allows a wider breadth of images: https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/joy-duru I migrated the article there today, even though it seems likely the article will return to Wikipedia. The EV article might take a little bit for it to show in Google search results.
Do you have any interest in collaborating on or creating a Nigeria initiative similar to the others listed here Current Initiatives. It could potentially be in partnership / cross-listed with WP Nigeria and Women in Red?

Isn’t it very annoying when you discover certain veteran actors like Chika Anyanwu, Becky Okorie (Karashika) & the lot of other veterans don’t have biographical articles because they are “old school” & from the “old Nollywood” whereas this “New Nollywood” rugrats all have biographical articles? Hurts to see the veterans getting marginalized with the introduction of the so-called “New Nollywood”. Celestina007 (talk) 18:25, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Handsomeboy, Nice work you’re doing here at Wiki. I just wanted to discuss with you about a comment you made on another talk page “ Big Brother Naija fans don't get that popularity is not notability. Even Erica is not yet notable, until she features in more notable films. HandsomeBoy (talk) 14:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)”
I find it weird that you don’t think Erica has gained notability meanwhile, Laycon and Prince both have viable pages. Erica even had a more robust portfolio prior to BB Naija.
And if you Check it, Hire a Woman has its own Wiki page and is also streaming on Netflix. In my opinion, that is notable enough.
Also, when you google "Met Film School Alumni" see what pops up.
When you check on Big brother America housemates, even a non-winner like Diane Henry and Erika Landin both have Wiki pages despite only being known for only big brother. I don't get why only Naija's own has to be very stringent.Kemmiiii (talk) 04:29, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
I only talked to the editors involved in deleting the page last year. And I only just noted that @Handsomeboy made a passing comment about her. I felt the need to clarify his thoughts with him especially in the light of the fact that he's Nigerian and I Imagine that he's aware of her notability in the last few months.

How “Iyke Nathan Uzorma” , you know the guy right? That authored “Occult Grandmaster Now In Christ” has very few mentions on the Internet is something perplexing & nigh-unbelievable for someone who was arguably the most talked about individual in 1993, do you remember the amount of buzz that himself & that book had? I think I blame it on social media or the internet not being available in Nigeria until 1998, whereas the book was published in 1993. I’m not sure how to go about this, google books don’t give much, google scholar doesn’t give much either, google itself doesn’t give much, anyway, I think I’d perform another deep web search tonight & see how that goes.

So apparently Oluremi Tinubu(Tinubu’s wife) is suddenly older than Tinubu? Lmaooooooo, nahhhh fuck it, in my Next life I’d still choose to live in Nigeria. Impossible things happen here regularly. I’ve laughed so hard I’m literally tearing up, Hahahahaha, Tinubu’s first daughter should be 58-60 and he still claims to be 69? Hahahahaha fuck it g, so basically yeah, Mandem was out here impregnating women at age 9-11??. I love this country. It’s as if Tinubu just got tired of of his current age and just decided to be 69 & made every media outlet declare his new age. But of course we all know it’s because of 2023.

We have discussed this before about veteran Nigerian actors who don’t get the recognition they deserve due to the fact that were active prior social media became a thing. Five of such come to mind, Patrick Doyle (Nigerian actor), Zulu Adigwe , Chika Anywanu, Chiege Alisigwe & Becky Okorie obviously most of them don’t satisfy NACTOR or GNG but is kinda sad all the same. Really really sad but this new actors get instant recognition because they know how to manipulate social media/the internet whilst the founding fathers of Nollywood all go unappreciated. It’s sad for real. Celestina007 (talk) 23:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

We hereby want to officially welcome new volunteers who have recently joined the collaborative project and have volunteered to work in WP:NIGERIA. The arrival of new volunteers is often associated with the confusion of “what to do” on their part, it is then behoove of us to treat them with care, guide them, and protect them from the general pitfalls a new editor would most usually fall into. We are also admonished to clean up after them if they err and encourage them, most especially when they are genuine editors with potential to do good work not just for us, but for the community as a whole. Once more, we hereby thank all new editors who have volunteered to work here and hope they enjoy their stay here.
Greetings & a great weekend to you all. It would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))

But articles about these elections are missing on Wikipedia and this contest will seek to specifically solve this problem.

Hi HandsomeBoy, hope that you're well. I was wondering if you'd be able to participate in a Signpost interview in your capacity as a contributor to WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers? I am enthusiastic about these interviews because they help remind other Wikipedians about the passionate and diverse group of volunteers that edit Wikipedia, and into the many discussions and editors that inhabit our space, nooks and crannies. If you had time to even answer a few questions here (User:Tom (LT)/sandbox/WikiProject actors and filmmakers interview draft) I'd be very grateful :).Tom (LT) (talk) 22:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Coming from here despite the name of this entry, ostensibly it is a general crisis, when I mention the gradual retrogression or atrophy of Nigerian RS I am tackled but to substantiate my claim take a look at this supposedly stellar source The Guardian (Nigeria) now take a look at this piece & this is supposed to be from a stellar source yet they are engaging in rogue journalism by failing to announce that very piece is a pre packaged material, even worse is that they tried to pass it as a legitimate piece when it is crystal clear it pr sponsored. Without even using my clandestine tools which I use in nabbing pre packaged materials, anyone can do a before search and verify this. If we have to scrutinize a “reliable” source then it ceases to be a reliable source, & if that becomes the case unfortunately the source may need to be deprecated. Praxidicae also noted the gradual atrophy of this source 8 months ago. However just as DGG, I believe and belong to the school of thought that there isn’t anything like a “reliable source” rather, a reliable piece from a reliable source. In sourcing, the piece is really what matters. Celestina007 (talk) 22:06, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

i have read, replied and removed the entry from my TP due to the fact that it is a philosophy I have adopted since 30-09-2021 and find it somewhat moot. Furthermore, as I mentioned in the reply I totally agree with you, I find prudence, diligence and integrity to be the tenets that never fail for any editor who wants to better themselves, we edit in futility if all the named tenets aren’t our mantra, there are also other potential problems coming from not just Nigeria related articles but from articles from all parts of the world, it is a very clear and present danger and an existential threat to the integrity of the collaborative project as a whole, I also find that this problem is so, because editors who ought to speak or act, do not do so. Edmund Burke said it best when they stated “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”, having said, I expressly want to state that I do not advocate for a vigilante style of negating this ills, neither do I advocate a “conscious effort” approach to dealing with this ills, what I do advocate is “for not looking away when we envisage such ills, rather in any capability we can, let us report such ill when it stares us in the face” I adopted on the 30th of September 2021, not to be too confrontational, a simple dialogue with the editors involved and if unsatisfied, filing an official report to the relevant noticeboard. Forgive the verbose, but I do hope you grasp my thought process. A happy new year to you. Celestina007 (talk) 23:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

For courtesy sake I would like to tell you that I have removed this message from my TP. I do not think I appreciate phrases such as valid or not or any form of trivialization of serious things, If it weren’t you, I would have removed the message without bothering to extended the courtesy of explaining the reason. You saying that you think my physical attack may not have been linked to Wikipedia is another example of how that message was wrong on so many levels. This is merely a notification.

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
