'''Welcome!'''

Hello, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, and welcome ↗ to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions ↗. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian ↗! Please sign ↗ your messages on discussion page ↗s using four tilde ↗s (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions ↗, ask me on {{#if:|my talk page ↗|my talk page}}, or ask your question on this page and then place <code><nowiki>{{help me}}</nowiki></code> before the question. Again, welcome!--MollyPollyRolly (talk) 17:54, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion


In this edit here ↗, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy ↗.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. <span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span><span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span> 13:58, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Copy within Wikipedia



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from :Mining industry of Nigeria ↗ into :Economy of Nigeria ↗. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing ↗ does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary ↗ at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking ↗ to the copied page, e.g., <code>copied content from <nowiki>page name ↗</nowiki>; see that page's history for attribution</code>. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-copying--> If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required.--<span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span><span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span> 14:59, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
:Hi FrankvEck, I noticed that you also copied text from :Economy of Nigeria ↗ into :Nigeria ↗ with this edit ↗, but without providing the proper attribution. I have added the attribution for you this time, but please remember to do this the next time you copy and paste text within Wikipedia. Thanks, /wiae&nbsp;<small>/tlk</small> 12:33, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 2



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dangote Refinery ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Malfunction ↗<!-- ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Dangote_Refinery check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Dangote_Refinery?client=notify fix with Dab solver])-->. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Copying within Wikipedia


Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit ↗. It appears to be Nigeria ↗. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol ↗ and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia ↗? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

<nowiki>I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.~~~~</nowiki> <span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span><span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span> 13:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Demographic sources



Thank you for your edits. Can you say more on why you argue authoritative demographic sources on the Nigeria ↗ page has been removed by you? Zerzuran (talk) 13:46, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

:I guess there is a confusion here. I did not change any demographic data here, but others did before and after I changed the chapter about crime. In my summary of what I did, I tried to point out that information on Africa given by Europeans or Northern Americans without any data from the location should be taken with a grain of salt. I referred to a 8 year old sentence taken from a FBI publication which had no verifiable information. I replaced the sentence with info with more tangible content. - In demographics I am not interested, but I noticed that others were changing some demographic data around the same time. I suppose you mean them... Greetings FrankvEck (talk) 17:02, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

December 2025



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi FrankvEck! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit ↗" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typo ↗s or reverting obvious vandalism ↗. Any edit that changes the <em>meaning</em> of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-minor --> Astro.furball (talk) 10:26, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
