Thanks for contributing to the article Ikwuano . However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

Your edit to Ajeromi-Ifelodun has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. -- EN-Jungwon 05:57, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Onwuka Glory, thank you for your attempts to improve sourcing in Wikipedia articles. Please be careful to cite reliable sources; dbpedia is not a reliable source since it copies content from Wikipedia, while marketingadvisoryservices.com is not an informational website and this page is just a random jumble of sentences with no coherence and no factual content – so that also can't be used as a source in Wikipedia. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 20:35, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but your grammar edits to a number of articles have changed correctly written English into incorrect English, and other editors have had to revert or fix your edits. It looks like you do not yet have sufficient command of English to make that kind of edit right now.
As an example, today you changed the first paragraph of the introduction of the child labour article from this to this. There was no reason to split the paragraph into three paragraphs; the sentences beginning with "However" and "Although" are sentence fragments; the correct semicolon was changed into an incorrect colon; and "exceptions" is a plural noun which means that the verb has to be "include", not "includes".
English grammar is pretty tricky sometimes, and there is absolutely nothing strange about it being hard to get it right – but since it creates work for other volunteers when an error is introduced into an article, I would like to ask you not to make any grammar edits to Wikipedia articles until your command of English is a bit stronger.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dora Akunyili, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Distinction. 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.)

Hello, you probably weren't told this but there are actually some quite strict guidelines about which articles should or should not be linked, that you and other accounts associated with you (presumably your students?) have violated in highly disruptive ways. Because of their exceedingly suspicious and unusual pattern, the accounts have been blocked and listed at this sockpuppet investigations page. If you could note any more accounts either here or there, that would be great. Given your editing history so far, I strongly suggest that your efforts would be much better focused on Wikipedia editions in your Nigerian regional/tribal language, rather than in English; the actions so far on both your account and those presumably associated with you have caused extreme disruption. I would like to know if you were given the OK to undertake this project by someone and if so, whom; I would suggest that they need some strong words about what is and is not permissible here.

Also, rapidly adding wikilinks (especially problematic ones) is generally considered to signify that editors are trying to game the system here to artificially boost their edit count; that's why Wikipedia editors have come down so harsh on edits by you and your students. Graham87 16:26, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Furthermore, the Guidance for younger editors strongly emphasises that young people shouldn't use their real name online; it seems like most of your students didn't exactly do that. There's also the page about School and university projects. Graham87 18:05, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Onwuka Glory, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are a course instructor leading a class project.
The training includes instructions for setting up a structured course page, with tools for tracking student work and encouraging peer review. Please also see this helpful advice for instructors.
If you run into problems or want some feedback on your Wikipedia assignment plans, try posting to the education noticeboard.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay after your assignment is finished! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:28, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Onwuka, thanks for your messages on my talk page, and in particular the link to your dashboard, from which I notice there's a list of editors and an activity log so it's possible to log the editors' activities until this Tuesday, at least. While I've reviewed the edits by the editors I hadn't found before, I haven't blocked them because they haven't edited recently ... but I just don't feel comfortable unblocking the other users just yet, and I can't exactly put my finger on why. If I understand correctly you've advised the students to stop editing via a group chat with them (which they have). Finding ways to use sandboxes for teaching purposes is your job, not mine, and I'm not at all the best person to advise on that ... they're just a public-facing space where users can experiment without damaging the rest of Wikipedia. Frankly, if you can't process the links I've already given you and make them into a coherent teaching plan, I question whether you should be trying to run an edit-a-thon. And also the fact that that word is spelt "Edith-a-ton" on your pages doesn't help your case either ... neither do misleading edit summaries where you say you're adding a word but actually remove text. The above is just my opinion though; I'm open to any other views from experienced editors. Graham87 09:12, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end.

We hope to see you there!
