March 2017 edit

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Dambazawa, from its old location at User:Baaballiyo/sandbox/Dambazawa. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 13:08, 2 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Bayero-1-1.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Bayero-1-1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Train2104 (t • c) 13:43, 17 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for February 28 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kano Emirate, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mohammed Bello. 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.)

Proposed deletion of Dabon Dambazau edit

 

The article Dabon Dambazau has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable sources to confirm notabilty of subject or accuracy of contents of this article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Dabon Dambazau moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Dabon Dambazau, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

its funny how those not familiar with the history of some people would like to tag references and citations as not adequate, without reading the pages of the books referenced. If Europeans source materials on African history is not considered independent what source could be. A simple search on the authors especially those with European origins can testify to their reliability. And I believe you did not research well on what was written before you make your decision if you do so. As for notability of the figure I callenge you to take or make any research of the jihad in Kano and then you see how notable the subject was. Baaballiyo (talk) 16:21, 24 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
