Mirrors


25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thanks for contributing to the article Solange Knowles ↗. 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.

Disambiguation link notification for May 17



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Blessing Uzzi ↗, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Director ↗ was added. 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>

Nomination of :Abuchi Peter Ugwu ↗ for deletion


<div class="afd-notice">
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0;">48px|alt=|link= ↗</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article :Abuchi Peter Ugwu ↗ is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗ or whether it should be deleted ↗.

The article is being discussed at '''Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abuchi Peter Ugwu ↗''' until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the AfD notice from the article until the discussion is closed.<!-- Template:Afd notice --></div> JTtheOG (talk) 03:53, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

:HI, @JTtheOG
:Thank you so much. I believe the wiki page has enough secondary sources detailing the individual. It is also a profile of the current Executive Director of one of the biggest music label in Nigeria.
:I am open to answering other questions in terms of other Wikipedia policies and guidelines, though your template is vague.
:Best. Obinna Tony (talk) 06:54, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
::Hello. I am concerned that none of the independent sources seem to provide significant, in-depth coverage of the subject. They seem to simply repeat or rephrase things he said, instead of discussing the subject in depth. JTtheOG (talk) 06:57, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Well, I am assuming that's because he attends events as a smaller entity representing a bigger entity Chocolate City (record label) ↗. Though I am willingly to see how the discussion turns out. Being an executive director of the label, we can argue it makes him notable enough but beyond that, he is just an average successful business person. Obinna Tony (talk) 07:02, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
::::It seems like that would mean that the label is notable but not him, unless there is significant coverage ↗ presented in the discussion. JTtheOG (talk) 08:30, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::A few of the sources still cover him significantly, which you say are promotional, but I don’t think so. Since he is an executive director of a notable label, isn’t it reasonable to assume good faith that the articles were written because he is notable? Not promotional? I mean, an independent writing can sound very promotional especially in a field like music that requires tooting one’s horn. Obinna Tony (talk) 08:40, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
::::::For example, in this ↗ puff piece, it says: {{tq|Interestingly, Abuchi’s appointment as CEO came after a bold conversation with co-founder Paul Okeugo where he expressed his desire to run the company, believing the founders were ready to step back. This assertiveness showcased his confidence in his ability to lead and revitalize the company.}} I hope we can agree to discard this AI slop ↗ article entirely. Which other sources would you say contain the best in-depth coverage of him? JTtheOG (talk) 20:43, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::::All right. I’m cool with whatever decisions are made. Obinna Tony (talk) 06:04, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Audre Lorde



Hi Obinna Tony, in these edits ↗, you added references. I'm a bit worried if you checked the contents, because for this information: "Lorde graduated from Hunter College High School in 1951", you added the reference {{Cite web |date=2026-04-27 |title=Charger Press |url=https://www.chargerpress.com/ |access-date=2026-04-27 |website=Charger Press |language=en-US}}, which is a home page of a news website. There is one page about Audre Lorde on that website, Audre Lorde: Powerful and Dangerous ↗, where it says "After returning to New York, Lorde attended Hunter College, graduating in 1959" - not 1951. I don't have the time or energy to check the other references. Did you use an AI tool to add these sources? <span style="color:teal">Laurier</span> (xe or they ↗) (talk) 19:21, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

:Why would I use AI for the source when it's easier to use google and find the source? I must have mistakenly slashed off the URL while copying it and it registered as the frontpage?
:Also, I added that source because it says Lorde "After graduating high school, Lorde spent a highly influential year at the National University of Mexico in 1954," which means she indeed graduated high school before 1954 which could be 1951. So, I assumed the Hunter College of 1959 is different from Hunter College high school. Obinna Tony (talk) 19:49, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
::As you can see, they have a bad URL that has "home" on their link: https://www.chargerpress.com/home/audre-lorde-powerful-and-dangerous Obinna Tony (talk) 19:55, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:::What do you mean by "they have a bad URL that has "home" on their link"? Also, it 'could be 1951' is not enough to use this as a source, I'd think? <span style="color:teal">Laurier</span> (xe or they ↗) (talk) 19:59, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
::::I mean, the URL has "home" on it, so I could have possibly copied half of the link hence why it registered as the home page.
::::The source supports she graduated from Hunter's College. That was why I still added it, pending "contested dates." Obinna Tony (talk) 20:07, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Without a proper source verifying the year, I've removed 1951 from the text. JTtheOG (talk) 20:17, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
::::::You added just chargerpress.com, not chargerpress.com/home or anything. Anyway, thank you for putting the right url in the reference now, and thank you JTtheOG for removing the year. <span style="color:teal">Laurier</span> (xe or they ↗) (talk) 20:31, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Initiative Sankofa d'Afrique de l'Ouest ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.

Non-neutral notification



Hi there, I am concerned that your notification ↗ at WT:LGBTQ+ ↗ at least borders on WP:CANVASS ↗ing. I would suggest rephrasing it as a more neutral notification. Your concerns about a coordinated, motivated deletion campaign would be better suited for a venue like WP:AN ↗. My intent here is to be helpful. I have not yet reviewed the AfD nominations but I am sensitive to the issues you identify. Notifying the WikiProject is appropriate but non-neutral notifications are against the guidelines and may backfire if the deletion discussions achieve the desired outcome but the appearance or reality of "canvassing" invalidates or calls into question the legitimacy of the results. —<b style="font-family: verdana; color:#803280;">Myceteae</b><span style="visibility:hidden; color:transparent; padding-left:2px">&zwj;</span>🌈 (talk) 15:51, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

::Done. Obinna Tony (talk) 15:58, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
:::That's much better. As I mentioned earlier, if you have evidence of a coordinated, ideologically motivated deletion campaign, those should be taken to an appropriate venue. It would be best to discuss with the nominator on their talk page first. You would need to provide evidence for a report to WP:AN ↗ or WP:ANI ↗ to be taken seriously. I just did some quick poking around and I see that the editor who nominated this articles has created articles like this one ↗, which seems inconsistent with an ideological motivation. This is by no means definitive and I have not done anything close to a thorough investigation and I trust that you are far more familiar with this situation and topic area than I am. —<b style="font-family: verdana; color:#803280;">Myceteae</b><span style="visibility:hidden; color:transparent; padding-left:2px">&zwj;</span>🌈 (talk) 16:08, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
::::I mean, they created them for a specific wiki love pride contest. That’s not their area of focus but putting LGBTIQ organisation on deletion and their assertions doesn’t make sense. They have not approved any of my article before, so, I’m worried they are now on these. Obinna Tony (talk) 16:12, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::I'm just saying, I wouldn't expect someone who is opposed to covering Nigerian LGBTQ+ topics on Wikipedia to create an article like that for Wiki Loves Pride.

In my experience, the most effective approach to counter potential bias on Wikipedia is to stick to policies and guidelines very carefully, exercising a lot of care to be civil in my replies.

Hi, please do you mind having a look at an Igbo related Afc approved article discussing Igbo regalia and Headdresses currently being vandalised by a user {{ping|Dolpina}}. I've been trying to invite some independent reviewers but they said the topic is outside their scope. Found you via your contributions on Igbo related articles. Please check hereTalk:Igbo regalia and headdresses ↗ Igbo regalia and headdresses ↗ Dreune (talk) 06:29, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

:I will take a look later. Thank you. Obinna Tony (talk) 06:39, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
::Alright. Dreune (talk) 07:10, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:I will advise that you don't keep accusing me of vandalism without proof because that is against Wikipedia guidelines. Dolpina (talk) 09:19, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Anna Ekeledo ↗ moved to draftspace



Thanks for your contributions to Anna Ekeledo ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it is promotional and reads like an advertisement''' and '''you may have a possible Conflict of Interest'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.

:Thank you. I don’t have any conflict of interest & on promotional part, I worked with information available to me (business leaders article mostly have tendency to sound like this). I will edit the article later to make it less promotional. Obinna Tony (talk) 15:12, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
::Done. @Zippybonzo
::None of the information I added on the article was made up by me. You can take a look at my sources. They exist there. It's not like I have a personal relationship with them. I occasionally work on articles of people I know by researching them. Obinna Tony (talk) 15:40, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
::While I won’t speculate on the conflict of interest (although to me it did appear to be that way), the article reads promotionally of both the person and their company — the entire ''Career'' section reads to me like a resume, as does the ''Awards and recognition'' section, and I don’t think it’s ready for publication Zippybonzo &#124; <small>talk</small> &#124; <small>contribs</small> ↗ (they/them) 17:12, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Okay.
:::They are the executive director of the company not the owner. I felt to add the company on their own profile since it doesn’t have a page yet and not that notable (as you can see on the article, I still highlighted the actual company’s chair).
:::finally, just know I didn’t invent any new information. All I used was what I saw in the sources I found on google . Obinna Tony (talk) 17:24, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
