Hallo, Thank you for creating Hey You (2022 film). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie Hey You), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find the new article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 19:14, 30 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, thanks veyr much for creating articles for important AAS fellows. I have noticed that you are using the naming as in AAS website which starts with Surname. I have now changed the name of these articles to thier name following conventional naming

Toure Moctar is now Moctar Toure, see this and his google scholar account.

‪Andriambololona‬ Raoelina is now ‪Raoelina Andriambololona‬, see his google scholar account.

Youdeowei Anthony is now Anthony Youdeowei, see his and this. FuzzyMagma (talk) 22:53, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I have moved couple of articles to the draft space before it gets deleted + they are not yet suitable as written to remain published. I would recommend adding more to the articles which can be easily found online. These articles can also use some proofreading before being published. I understand your ambition but I really think these scientists deserve better coverage/article and it is better to spend time on making an article good in the draft space before rushing to the mainspace. I will come back to help improving these articles before re-publish them.

list of the articles that I have moved:

•   Mohamed Thameur Chaibi (copy edited the text, kept well referenced informations, add more about his research and education, and fix the infobox you should use scientist infobox and not academic infobox as you need to describe the field + you like to use the word member when these are fellows)
•   Driss Bensari (similar to Mohamed Thameur Chaibi. one useful trick, go for source edit, copy everything to a word document and then run Grammarly or word review for basic copy editing.)
•   Ramjugernath Deresh (added more references, when you start and article as a DRAFT, wikipedia suggests sources. that is why I suggested you should start with a draft before jumping to main space. I see you did not do that for your recent two articles although I, and many other editors, recommended doing that. Please consider taking this advise. AAS is a good source but you sometime miss different aspect of the person work when your story is narrated/derived from one source)
•   Mohamed T. El-Ashry (+ added a section called see also, it will give a chance to link articles together so they will not be orphan, I will also look to these scientists' organisation to link them)
•   Aster Gebrekirstos, minor edits mostly in line referencing and copy editing.
•   Yehia Bahei El-Din (mainly copy editing + citation, I removed the mention of NASA award as I did not find any NASA related website that confrims this beyond what is written on AAS website)
•   Ashraf Mansour (expaned the article but one questions that bugs me is why did you make this article to start with)
•   Gombe Samson (his name is the other way around, the date of birth was wrong and referenced to a site that does mentioned anything about his death, you tend to group reference which once checked one by one you will find only one actually give a reliable reference, It will be better if you can stick to referencing each information separately if you can, so it can be easily corrected)
•   Farida Fassi Added more references and more sections (+ fixed broken references, added a note, change the infox to scientist include the field, copy editing to use her last and remove mention of professor, for full details see here)
• Djeffal Fayçal
• Bunmi Adelugba
• Cyrill Nunn (wrong infox is being used, need alot of copy editing + a free picture can be found + the references does not include many that go into depth about his education, work and personal life)

PS: as I am not familiar with politics, so I restricted myself to science as I know well that these scientist biographies can be assembled from reliable sources online. These are champions of science in their countries and Africa, at least they deserve a good WP. Yours FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:23, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you. I hope you will not forget them in the draft. I will also try to improve them. Bunmi Adelugba is not an academic, she is a politician and a public office holder. The article should be stubbed rather than moved to draft Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Also, most of the articles drafted have been reviewed by four or five different reviewers. Drafting them will only give two of us the chance to incubate them but stubbing them can give many editors the chance to add more to the articles. Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:12, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ibjaja055 we are on this together brother. And I might disagree with you 2nd assumption especially because that why we are building these articles because no one ever thought about doing that .. but time will prove one of us wrong .. FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:26, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

FuzzyMagmaYes brother! Most of these scientists have been forgotten and I hope that more hands like us will assist. So what is the conclusion now? Allowing them to be stubbed or leave them in draft. Seriously, even some of the administrator that I feared most have reviewed the articles. Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ibjaja055 give me a week on the draft space and then let’s submit them for review (not moving them directly back), just to get a 2nd opinion on how to improve them FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:45, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What I do most of the times is to create the draft in my phone notebook before creating the article.

Thanks brother, it’s a learning process to be honest. And I really admire your passion.

Looks good .. will benefit from copy editing which I will do tomorrow in grammaly + creating an info box. But content wise this have more ‘meat’. Btw I looked to the articles that you have created - which is alot! - but 1/3 of them is un-assessed, sup and start. You have 1 C article. I’d recommend trying to at least upgrade 50% to start and 25% to C.

last thing, I saw the delete notification on your pictures which something I expected, I would recommend chatting with person who flagged them to see what you can learn from that mistake. There is the option of non-free image upload but that also applies to specific situations/images

I went through Draft:Aster Gebrekirstos, It is really good work. I have done some inline citation (for FAAS and FTWAS). My inclination is to cite whenever the information can be sourced to a one reliable reference, and group references when the sources are not very reliable but more than one is saying the same information. But overall, you are making strides my friend. Amazing work FuzzyMagma (talk) 10:00, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A quick warning, there is alot of information about him in the internet and everyone will appreciate if his package act as a summary of all of the reliable information about him available online. Good luck. I will come and review it once you are done and add more from the Arabic sources.

Hi Ibjaja055. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. – Joe (talk) 13:51, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Ibjaja055.

Thank you for your observation. The article has been deleted three times check [1]. Also, Wikiwriterforal has submitted it to AFC up to four times and it has been rejected for NPOV. Lastly, not only that the article failed WP: GNG it also has a very low reliable media coverage.

Hello Ibjaja055,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

@XERI MUSIC Thank you for reaching out to me. Also, I am impressed that's you want to add more to the world; f creativity. Kindly read through this [[2]] to know more about the Notability of music on Wikipedia. Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:37, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@XERI MUSIC Also, I discovered that in the article that I rejected, you didn't make use of headings. I will make use of them using the draft as case study. Pls check and be making use of it in your subsequent submissions Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ibjaja, how far nah. E don tey wey speak. On a side note, did you know that fellows of the Nigerian Academy of Science are notable? Best, Reading Beans (talk) 20:49, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Reading Beans Am good o. I just dey gentle o. Yes, I have had some issues with them but the consensus is that the fellows are notable. The fellows are elected based on the contributions of scientists in Africa. It is also part of the Notability guideline of WP: Academic but it shouldn't be the only source, there should be other sources too that can confirm his/her scholarly contributions. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes, but, how can someone be elected a fellow without having sources that can help them establish Wikipedia notability? *Wink* Reading Beans (talk) 21:07, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Reading BeansAt times, it can happen. What I discovered over the time of creating articles around them is that they preferred featuring in peer reviewing journals rather than news coverages. smiles.. My conclusion on that is that maybe because journals further elevates their status in the realm of academics. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It’s fine sha. Jisike. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 21:51, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The article Elayne Jones you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Elayne Jones for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Hello Ibjaja055,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

@Illusion Flame Thank you for reaching out to me. I recently moved the article to draft before I discovered the rest of the drafts and disambiguation. I should have tagged it for speedy delete instead of moving to draft. Ibjaja055 (talk) 22:50, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No, what you did was appropriate! All I did was tag the redirect you left behind. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:02, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. May I ask why you added the notability tag to Your Favourite London Sounds? I accept the subject is quite niche but I believe it passes the notability criteria of WikiProject Albums. It uses fifteen secondary sources; most are direct coverage of the release, including reviews and analysis from The Guardian, Los Angeles Times and NPR. There is also material from The Chicago Tribune and The Wire. I believe the article demonstrates notable coverage. --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 23:29, 23 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@TangoTizerWolfstone Thank you for the clarification. However, majority of the references are not accessible either they are subscription based or google books. You have two The Guardian sources and one can be considered as a reference because the other was not talking about the subject. I think we should give a chance for another reviewer to review it. Thank you Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:56, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I feel, per WP:PAYWALL, that the newspaper.com sources are fine. Ditto the Google books. I may take this to WikiProject Albums for further opinion. Thank you. TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 04:18, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Ibjaja055:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1700 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

	The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
	This award is given to Ibjaja055 for collecting more than 10 points during the October 2023 NPP backlog drive. Thank you so much for taking part and contributing to the drive! Hey man im josh (talk) 02:02, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Hey man im joshThank you so much. I really appreciate the bar star! Ibjaja055 (talk) 05:17, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Hey man im josh My request for renewal of New page reviewer has been pending for days. I want to participate in November backlog but I am unable to do so because the tool is not working again. Can you help me to process the request. Thank you. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:11, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Ibjaja055. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:57, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, Ibjaja055,

Please remember to sign all comments, not only on Talk pages but also on Project pages like AFD deletion discussions. Otherwise, editors have to look at the page history to see who posted a comment. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Liz Thank you very much. It might have skipped my mind. I will go through my contributions and make the adjustment. Ibjaja055 (talk) 10:36, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Vanderwaalforces (talk) is wishing you Happy Holidays! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user Happy Holidays, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year!

Spread the cheer by adding ((subst:Happy holidays)) to their talk page with a friendly message.

Hello Ibjaja055, just want to let you know that when adding templates, there's no need of adding the Template: prefix if you're using the curly brackets ((())), for example, just do ((WAP)) and NOT ((Template:WAP)). Many thanks :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:23, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I have fixed Talk:Olugbemiro Jegede, Talk:Sunday Iyahen‎ and Talk:Peter Okebukola. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:26, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces Thank you very much for the correction. I am still trying to find my ways around templates. It took me several hours to be able to even create one. LOL. Thank you once again Ibjaja055 (talk) 12:30, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ibjaja055 Hehe, please tell me how I can help, are you trying to add that template to all the articles created at WikiProject AfroDemics?

Also, I have few observations, instead of adding the Wiki Afrodemics Project Articles to the main articles as you did here, we could just add the category inside this Template:WAP so that whenever the template ((WAP)) is added to the talk page of any of the articles, the category is automatically populated with the talk pages of the articles, instead of the main pages. What do you think? Because it doesn't appear to make sense to add the main pages unless you want to make the category a hidden one.

Can you do that? I could help if you want. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:38, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces That's a little bit technical for me. I would really appreciate if you can help me and teach me later. Thank you very nuch Ibjaja055 (talk) 12:42, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces Yes, I am trying to add the templates to all the articles. Ibjaja055 (talk) 12:43, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ibjaja055 Okay, please hold on and do not add the category to articles for now so that you don't have to undo many edits. I will make some edits to the template and the category will be populated by the article's talk pages it was added to. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ibjaja055 I guess I didn't spoil things. You can now go ahead and add the template to the talk pages and don't bother to add the category to the articles directly. I will also assist in adding the category to the articles. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:54, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@VanderwaalforcesThank you very much. The magic is working perfectly. Ibjaja055 (talk) 13:00, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, Ibjaja055. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Gwandara people".

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 deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. 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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:16, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
