Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your kind words, @Greenman!

I am happy that it got a great rating. I have looked at the grading scheme and I will work on improving the article.

It is good to know that I can create articles myself without posting a request. Notwithstanding, I will like to still submit to Articles for Creation while I hone my skills.

Warm regards!

File permission problem with File:ACEGID Logo.png

Thanks for uploading File:ACEGID Logo.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 06:26, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Fikayo Oyewale. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:34, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your work

I just wanted to express appreciation for your edits -- articles related to science in Africa are very under-represented on Wikipedia so your work has the potential to make a significant improvement to the encyclopedia. If you have any editing questions you can ping me on my talk page (I may reply slowly because I'm not online very often). All best wishes! Philepitta (talk) 15:21, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Also, regarding the message above from Drm310: If you work for ACEGID, probably you should suggest edits on the article talk page rather than editing that particular article directly. I went through the article and edited a bit (mostly so that the wording is different from the wording on ACEGID's home page) - please let me know if any of the edits are inaccurate or if there are other edits you suggest for the article.
