S-L footballers edit

Consider formatting them nicely and including at least one reference per article, at least to prove existence. See what I did with Aluspah Brewah - crz crztalk 23:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

categories edit

Hi Sittaconde,

A bot to find new Africa articles just started up. As the user who started Special Court for Sierra Leone, I noticed that you were tackling some articles that had been redlinked for a long time. Great work! Please add categories to articles as well. Some people browse by category, so your work is invisible to those people. Cheers, BanyanTree 16:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

References edit

Hi Sittaconde, thanks for the great work you're doing with Sierra Leone! I'm only worried that your articles tend to be unsourced, verifiability is one of the five pillars of wikipedia. So please, add to the articles you create or expand the sources from which you take your info.--Aldux 22:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Using text from other websites edit

Hello. Thanks for your recent work adding articles about Sierra Leone. Unfortunately, some of them seem to be copied from other sites, such as http://www.trial-ch.org. Because this text is copyrighted we are not allowed to use it on Wikipedia. You can use these sites to write about the topic in your own words, but please don't simply paste in their text. Thanks. --Cherry blossom tree 13:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)Reply


Sierra Leonean-Lebanese edit

A tag has been placed on Sierra Leonean-Lebanese, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Sierra Leone Creole People edit

just a note, the tag at the top of the page right now doesn't mean the page is being deleted, just that a move was performed incorrectly. You can read how a move should be performed (using the move tab) as WP:MOVE. This page was recently moved with a copy-paste (wrong way), and for various reasons, the history of the page at the old title needs to be brought to the new title.

Sierra Leone edit

Sorry, my mistake. I see now that you are trying to improve the article. Thank you. I wish you'd use the edit summary, it helps others who are working on the article by looking at the history the types of changes being made. Especially when they are considerable changes. Thanks. Again sorry. I reverted myself. - Jeeny Talk 18:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sierra Leone edits edit

I have reverted your edits because they removed a large amount of information without an edit summary of why the info was removed. If you were trying to improve the article then feel free to revert back. Thanks. --Hdt83 Chat 21:34, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Random changes to population figures edit

I notice that you have joined a couple of anonymous users in changing population figures, presumably to communicate other information to some unknown person. If you happen to have access to genuine figures, please cite your source, otherwise, please leave the 2004 census figures which have two sources elsewhere. Thank you. Dbfirs (talk) 01:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Having compared your Sierra Leone population edits of 9 January just 23 hours apart, I find it difficult to see how the figures for your 2007 estimates can possibly be genuine. I suspect that you and others are using this and other Wikipedia articles for some purpose different from that of presenting genuine population figures. If you have access to real 2007 population estimates, could you please provide a citation, otherwise it is Wikipedia policy to use attestable information which is published elsewhere, such as the 2004 official figures which are published in the Sierra Leone Encyclopedia, and at several other places on the web. If you are not able to do this, or at least to assure me of your good faith, then I shall continue to replace your edits with the genuine figures from the 2004 census. Thank you. Dbfirs (talk) 10:05, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
I notice that you have been adding inconsistent and obviously false information (see map) to the article on Kabala, as you have been doing to a number of Sierra Leone articles. I have removed some of this evidently false information. If you have some special knowledge of population figures, could you please quote your source, then I will stop reverting your edits which change the population regularly, and appear to be completely out of step with known estimates. I can only conclude that your edits are made for some purpose other than those of Wikipedia. dbfirs 18:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again.

Population figures edit

I note that you have again been introducing highly suspect figures for populations (replacing 2004 census data with estimates supported only by blogs), and also that you have been falsifying distances (perhaps this was just a mistake?). Could you please find genuine data (as you did for some Sierra Leone cities) before making hasty edits. Thank you. dbfirs 09:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Besides unconvincingly large population increases, I note that you are changing distances between places to obviously false values (as in this edit to Moyamba [1]). Please note that Wikipedia is a place for facts, not opinions. Also, it should not be used to communicate other information which has nothing to do with the article being edited. Is there some innocent reason for your strange edits? dbfirs 16:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
You are again playing games with numbers. Population percentages should be stable. Please make up your mind what are the correct figures, then provide some evidence that you have not made them up, then please leave them alone. Constant changes lead us to suspect that you (and possibly your various anonymous sockpuppets or associates) are using these figures for some purpose not connected with presenting facts on Wikipedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 10:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Evans Brima Gbemeh edit

 

The article Evans Brima Gbemeh has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This two sentence biography article has zero citations to establish notability. The one External link is a passing mention, but no indepth content about the politician. After searching, I did find a few social media sites, so-called "encyclopedias", but unable to locate reliable sources to provide sufficient coverage. Created on 22 November 2007.
