September 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Drenco has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.twitter.com/kaynaydrenco. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 20:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Before you edit....

Hi there. It might be a good idea to fully acquaint yourself with Wikipedia's Basic Policies and Guidelines before you edit or created articles in Wikipedia. That way your edits will adhere to Wikipedia's rules and won't be challenged. Please read through these 3 guidelines (Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, Wikipedia:Citing sources & Wikipedia:Verifiability) to see why some of the material which you've added into the this article does not adhere to Wikipedia's rules. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 23:33, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Drenco. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 00:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Drenco

A tag has been placed on Drenco requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Amsaim (talk) 00:12, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Please do not continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to Drenco. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. -- Rrburke (talk) 00:22, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

This is your final warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to Drenco. WookieInHeat (talk) 00:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for Repeated inappropriate removal of speedy deletion nomination notices.. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 01:35, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Drenco.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Drenco.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Stanleytux (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I have used multiple accounts to edit Wikipedia and while making use of these sock accounts I broke the rules at WP:ILLEGIT and was blocked by Admin, I understand that my actions violated Wikipedia policy but I'm requesting another chance and I promise none of this will happen again, I also will continue to make useful contributions to Wikipedia. Thank you.Stanleytux (talk) 11:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Please have only one unblock request open at a time. Mkdw^talk 20:37, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• Here are a few questions to help in assessing your unblock request.

1. Can you explain exactly what was wrong with the way you used multiple accounts, why you did it, and how your editing in future will be different?
2. Can you state whether or not you have edited without logging in while your accounts have been blocked?
3. Can you comment on the suggestion that this unblock request in order to get round semi-protection that was placed on an article in order to prevent you from editing it while your accounts are blocked? JamesBWatson (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Stanleytux (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

First of all, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain things out, well, I joined Wikipedia in 2010, and though I created my first article at the time I never really got around to learning most of the rules here on the English Wikipedia. I took a long leave away from Wikipedia, and never edited for a long time. When I wanted to contribute again after the hiatus, I had problems with remembering my password but I eventually figured it out. After creating and editing a couple of articles with Stanleytux, I felt I needed to start all over again with a new account plus I didn't want to associate myself with the old account any longer so I created Alice Shedrack, at a time I felt it would look odd if all the articles I created and edited had the same username, so I decided to create different usernames for different edits and when I went over to Wikimedia Commons, I chose different usernames as well. I wasn't really warned by any editor or administrator during all of this so I continued using multiple accounts until I had a misunderstanding with a couple of editors about one or two articles I created, this was when I started breaking the rules at WP:ILLEGIT. I never knew anything like Check User existed so I thought using sock accounts would solve my problem with the editors during the period but it never did. I was blocked by Admin and while logged out I edited a couple of times, through some of my friends' laptops because of IP detection but I was spotted by same Admin who blocked me once again. Honestly, I'm tired of being blocked and I have created and edited not just one but multiple articles since I joined wikipedia and still has a lot more legit things to do here, so I'm not only focused on one article, however, I will like to edit articles I created and try to improve them and make things right as I can so I thought sneaking around won't help matters so I decided to come out plain and request for unblock so I can sit back once again and contribute like every other wikipedian without worrying about getting blocked for evading a block. Truthfully speaking, I have learned my lesson and wish to continue to learn about wikipedia while editing and making useful contributions to the community in general.—Stanleytux (talk) 19:26, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Accept reason:

A discussion has taken place with two CU and one condition of your unblock request being approved will be that you will be subject to regular checks. Also, paid advocacy has been brought up as a concern so once again the amount of rope you will be given will be very short and at the discretion of sysops. Please proceed carefully. Mkdw^talk 02:25, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

I am willing to consider unblocking you on the provisions that you acknowledge that you will not attempt to access your other accounts and will strictly adhere to the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia, and specifically in the most conservation interpretations of WP:MEAT, WP:CANVASS, and WP:SOCK. While there are legitimate alternate accounts, considering your history with CU, I would strongly discourage you to not utilize those means. Please reply with your thoughts, Mkdw^talk 20:43, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes I agree. I will refrain from using my other accounts henceforth and abide by Wikipedia's community rules and guidelines including WP:MEAT, WP:CANVASS, and WP:SOCK. Thank you. Stanleytux (talk) 06:21, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

@Stanleytux: I have reinstated your block as I was unaware of a policy that affects your unblock request. I am terribly sorry for my mistake and will notify the appropriate checkuser, DoRD, who can review and address your unblock request at this time. Mkdw^talk 23:27, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Stanleytux, as part of your unblock request, please disclose to us all your accounts that you have used to edit Wikipedia. Also, please be aware that you will be subject to periodic checks. Mkdw^talk 16:43, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Below is a list of the accounts. I don't think there's any more of them

• User:Alice Shedrack
• User:Al Gomez
• User:Afrowildchild
• User:Adrian Esomchi
• User:Alwayzwetgal
• User:DJ Arafat
• User:Oby Ndigwe
• User:Kalabarian
• User:Mistasleek
• User:Wrongevidence09
• User:Tinted iris
• User:Thirdstrike11

And it's alright Mkdw, I understand you are following proper procedures. Thanks. Stanleytux (talk) 20:41, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Update: Here's another account I missed on the list User:Yazata Anahita. Stanleytux (talk) 23:24, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Edits made to the Duncan Mighty article

Thanks for your edits to the Duncan Mighty article. That's more like it. Duncan Mighty is a notable artist. versace1608 (talk) 02:08, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Yes, although I kind of have the feeling the article can get better than it is at the moment you know. Stanleytux (talk) 02:14, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

If you do not mind and are not busy, could you please work on the Timaya article. It needs reliable sources and can greatly be improved. I figured you may be interested since he's from Port Harcourt. If you are doing other things, that's fine. versace1608 (talk) 19:05, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

The P-Square article Comment

Greetings Stanleytux! While going through the history of the P-Square article, I realized that you reverted the edits made by User talk:172.243.128.84, and undid your edit. I have been trying to tell this user that instagram and Linda Ikeji blog are not reliable sources. The user cannot be reason with. He/she is currently block for one week. If the user comes back after a week and adds the same references to the P-Square article, he/she will get block again, and this time, it won't be for a week. I don't know the reasons why you undid your revert. Although the user isn't adding anything malicious, he/she can't go around adding sources that are not reliable. versace1608 (talk) 19:19, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

I really didn't notice those references they added — doesn't mean they were needed anyway — but I did notice that those information were covered in one or two reliable sources in the section. Stanleytux (talk) 23:32, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Nigerian films

Hi. Please note that ALL films are placed in the primary country category, per WP:FILMCAT, regardless of them being in the sub-genre cats. Compare the header of the American films cat, as an example.

slow down please

Hi Stanley, I just looked at the number of categories you've created, I think a fair number of them are not in line with our policies, specifically around smallcat and around WP:EGRS. We only create intersections of ethnicity/descent + job when there is evidence that this particular intersection is discussed in reliable sources as a topic of study - thus Category:African-American musicians can exist, but Category:American musicians of polish-lithuanian descent cannot. The same applies to the many nigerian cats you've been creating. I'd suggest reviewing the relevant policies before creating new cats, as it's possible your work will be deleted.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 19:46, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

All the categories I've created exist in their hundreds on Wikipedia and no one is nominating them for deletion. I have disclosed to you a similar category and hope it gets nominated as well unless there are other reasons that they exist. If they don't get deleted, and mines get deleted, someone will recreate them someday. Imagine Category:Australian actors of Greek descent. I won't comment on this again. Stanleytux (talk) 20:16, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

while existence of similar cats is a sign that new cats can be created in the same vein, other things apply - for example just because we have Category:Gay writers doesn't mean we can have Category:Heterosexual writers because there aren't sufficient sources that talk about these as a group. If you can't find any sources that talk about the intersection of Nigerian + Norwegian + actress then it should be deleted. The australian-Greek one may have to go too I will take a look.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 07:15, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Clarence Peters

Greetings Stanleytux! Thanks for your edits to the Clarence Peters article. Can you please add the part about him being born in Ibadan to the article with a reliable source. I couldn't find information about his date of birth or place of birth. Also, the videography section of the article is missing tons of old music videos that Peters has directed. Your help will greatly be appreciated. By the way, I haven't fully listen to Lyrikal's new mixtape O.C.D. I like the two songs I've listened to so far. I have been bumping Jesse Jagz's new album; the album is fire. Versace1608 (Talk) 17:22, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

I really admire your work on Clarence Peters. I spotted his birthplace a while ago, going through one of the websites that published an article on Olamide's life, the biography site was used on his article here on the English wiki. I'll see if I can find more links to some of the visuals he directed back in day. I'm glad you're starting to appreciate some 21st-century hip hop music. Keep that up. Stanleytux (talk) 18:05, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks bro. I found the website and the article. I need to keep expanding my horizon. Versace1608 (Talk) 19:28, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Flickr concerns

Greetings Stanleytux, After going through Fabiola Galindo's flickr account, I realized that he has uploaded pictures of people whose articles you have created or worked on. Is it just me or is this coincidental? The image the user uploaded of Mary Uranta was already uploaded onto this BlogSpot on 31 December 2013. I have doubts about Galindo being the rightful owner of this image. A food for thought: Not every user who claims to have ownership of an image actually owns the copyright to the image. I am not pointing fingers at you bro; I hope you are not the one who created this flickr account and uploaded the images for the sole purpose of using them on Wikipedia. I remember doing that before for images of Iyanya and Wizkid. Another user caught me right handed and deleted the images. (The resemblance in my usernames on Flickr and Wikipedia were too revealing). By the way, Uranta is beautiful. You guys are enjoying in Port Harcourt man. lol Versace1608 (Talk) 01:11, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

It's not my business to go on after the social network users especially outside of wikipedia. What concerns me here is that the images are licensed by flickr owner under Creative Commons 2.0 which is what is required. Stanleytux (talk) 01:47, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Location map of Elelenwo based on Wikimapia.png

Thanks for uploading File:Location map of Elelenwo based on Wikimapia.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:28, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Your reverts to my edits to the category: Nigerian gospel musicians

Hi User:Stanleytux I noticed you recently reverted my edits to the above category . Looking at the categorized nationalities of "Category:Gospel singers by nationality", I noticed only Nigeria had two categories, which was inappropriate. Shouldn't "Category:Nigerian gospel singers" be a sub-category of "Category:Nigerian gospel musicians" ? All I did was to rearrange the category in the appropriate order. "Nigerian gospel singers" was still a sub-category of "Nigerian performers of Christian music"

@Eruditescholar: I believe I've already explained the reason why your edits were reverted in the edit summaries. Also see the arrangements on Category:American gospel singers. As for the duplication of gospel categories, that has been fixed and please sign next time. Stanleytux (talk) 16:39, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Rhythm 93.7 FM

Hello, I noticed that an article you created Rhythm 93.7 FM redirects to the Rivers State based frequency . Rhythm 93.7 are present in more than 5 states in Nigeria and they maintain 93.7 in most of the states as their frequency. I would have preferred if a single article is used for all the states since they are all owned by Silverbird Group. Darreg (talk) 22:46, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

@Darreg: I don't see how that is a problem. If you notice, the article is titled Rhythm 93.7 FM Port Harcourt When other pages are created for other cities, they will follow the same format (i.e Rhythm 93.7 FM + city name) and the redirect becomes a disambiguation page containing all Rhythm 93.7 FM stations.

Port Harcourt

Hi Stanleytux. I'm sorry if I intrude. Every page in the Port Harcourt navbox template should have the PH template added to it. I just did a little bit of it. I'm pretty sure that there are still pages without the template. Versace1608 (Talk) 19:12, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes you right, thanks for assisting, some pages already have templates which can be found in the Port Harcourt template. Such pages may not need the general PH template. Stanleytux (talk) 19:33, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Reply To Message On Pyxon Talkpage

I went through the message you left on my wall and I thought to my self, with all what to typed, you could actually be referring to yourself 1.Hello Pyxon, Your words: "Also, R&B and RnB are both correct however R&B is the common term used across many articles and lists here on Wikipedia"

My Reply: R&B and RnB are the same thing as you amitted. Its also written in the rnb page of wiki. And you went ahead to remove what I wrote to put what you like. Isn't that personal opinion. You know thats funny cos in the same message you wrote on my page you wrote ...."You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia but please donot disrupt articles just because of your 'PERSONAL OPINION'". So who is letting personal opinion cloud the quality and genuity of his edit. cos you removed my edit to put what you liked without double checking the edit based on personal satisfaction.Thank you. pyxon (talk) 23:36, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

It isn't about whose spelling is better here, rather about "Order". While both spellings are right, it is best the most common term is maintained and that is the way it is on several other musician-lists. Let's not mix things up. Stanleytux (talk) 22:58, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

August 2014

Hi. The lamellophone image wasn't removed; it was instead moved to the instruments section. However, you added a duplicate of that file in place of the Um Kulthum image. I've fixed this duplication. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 19:02, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Duplication is not enough reason to add an irrelevant image that was never mentioned at the top of an article, besides Mbira was discussed at the lead of the article and the instruments section. Mbira is the only image that's fit to sit at the top of that article but if you insist that it must be at instruments section then I'm removing the irrelevant image you added there because it does not illustrate the article or its content. The lead will be left out of images. Thank you. Stanleytux (talk) 19:17, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Um Kulthum is probably the most famous singer of Egypt (a country in Africa). If she is irrelevant, then so is Miriam Makeba and all of the other musicians. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 19:21, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

I donot have a problem with the image Midday. However, I do have a problem with it not being neutral, please move your image to the North Africa, that is where it is relevant not at the top, this is not Music of North Africa article. And Miriam Makeba was discussed in the section, an image I added was to illustrate the discussion there. Thank you. Stanleytux (talk) 19:26, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Per your recommendation, I've moved her to said area. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 20:21, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Flavour N'abania

Flavour is known for Highlife. I've never heard him rap before. If you have, please provide the title of the song; I need to hear it. I know the information you added is sourced, but publications are not perfect. Newspaper editors make errors sometimes. Versace1608 (Talk) 22:43, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Hip hop music isn't just about rap alone, it is a vast scene that includes singers and countless musical fusions. Stanleytux (talk) 22:49, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

You're right about that. However, if multiple reliable sources do not brand Flavour's genre of music as Hip hop, we shouldn't be adding it. One reliable publication is not sufficient. I am not going to temper with your revision. Versace1608 (Talk) 22:59, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

List of Nigerian rappers

Hi Stanleytux, thanks for reverting the edit made by User:Latertinsna. What do you think about the List of Nigerian rappers article only including notable rappers with articles on Wikipedia? Versace1608 (Talk) 05:17, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

@Versace1608: With over 30 pages of Nigerian rappers already created, the list should definitely be strictly for blue links and no more red links unless there's some evidence of notability and that the article can be created. (see WTAF). And I can see some entries that donot have a Nigerian nationality. These pages donot belong in the list and may be removed. Stanleytux (talk) 08:53, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

License tagging for File:M Trill Number one.png

Thanks for uploading File:M Trill Number one.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Input needed

Hi Stanleytux, I'd appreciate it if you add an input here. Thanks in advance. Versace1608 (Talk) 19:23, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

@Versace1608: Thanks for letting know about this ongoing discussion on Nigerian nationality but as it stands at the moment, I don't think it will be right if I joined the discussion. I read the introduction and it says "This discussion is to get consensus from Nigerian editors on how they feel nationality should appear in the lead of BLP articles." I believe Wikipedia is a worldwide project and decisions made here which doesn't follow its policies and guidelines are hardly considered. Stanleytux (talk) 21:38, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I just want to add that before Tubers created the page, I took my concerns to several noticeboard, but wasn't able to get help from anyone. Tubers has plans of archiving the page once a consensus is reached. I understand and respect your decision not to partake in this discussion. Versace1608 (Talk) 21:50, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

By raising the same issue on several noticeboards as you have just said, you may have violated WP:FORUMSHOP. I guess that is probably the reason why you didn't get any response from Admins. Stanleytux (talk) 22:09, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

It wasn't my intention. One of the administrators closed my comment and directed me to the help desk noticeboard. This is the reason why I posted my comments on multiple noticeboards. Versace1608 (Talk) 22:12, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

@Versace I just checked and I happen to find a few responses to your posts on the Noticeboards. I believe we can still go ahead with getting consensus among ourselves though.Darreg (talk) 22:16, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

@Darreg: The administrators who replied to my comments seem to agree with your stance. Perhaps the discussion may not be necessary after all. Versace1608 (Talk) 22:26, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Everyone knows Wikipedia is a worldwide project with centralized policies. We are not doing anything that will contradict those guidelines, we are only clarifying minor issues not explicitly stated in the guidelines. I have seen consensus overrule disputed (or generalized) policies here on wikipedia. It is ok if you do not want to join (for reasons best known to you) but the claim that we are (or might be) breaching any rule by trying to gain consensus from interested participants is unfounded.Darreg (talk) 18:23, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Jesus piece

Hello! I saw that you had done some work on the Hip-Hop portal and was wondering if you can help me change names for two articles. I believe that the article Jesus Piece (jewelry) should switch with the article Jesus Piece, an album by Game. The reason for this is because the Jesus piece jewelry is more notable than the album which is in fact named after the jewelry. We can change the jewelry article's title to "Jesus Piece" and then change the album's title to "Jesus Piece (album)".--ZiaLater (talk) 23:17, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: Yes I have created a couple of Hip hop-related categories and edited a few articles related to the music, but I haven't done any work on the Hip hop portal yet. You sure it was my username you saw operating over there? I also tried to find the article you mentioned of but can't seem to find it anywhere. Can you be more clear in explaining this, I'd really love to help if it's something I can do. Stanleytux (talk) 00:29, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

@Stanleytux:, I would like to change the title of Jesus Piece (jewelry) just to "Jesus piece", but Game's album Jesus Piece already takes that title. Maybe we could rename the album page to "Jesus Piece (album)" and then switch Jesus Piece (jewelry) to "Jesus piece" afterward. I am just very bad at changing the names of articles.--ZiaLater (talk) 00:40, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

ZiaLater I believe this matter is something that can be discussed at the article's talkpage before moving the pages. You can head over there and start a discussion regarding moving the article to Jesus Piece (album). If the other editors donot respond after some days, then the pages can be moved. Stanleytux (talk) 01:18, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Ok, I left a message on the article's talk page but it doesn't seem like it is visited much. We will see after some days like you said.--ZiaLater (talk) 16:01, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Alright @Stanleytux:, it's been some days and there has been no response. I don't know how long we should wait before we make these changes but I just wanted to let you know before I get caught up in other articles.--ZiaLater (talk) 19:02, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi ZiaLater,

You can try requesting a page rename/move for Jesus Piece at WP:RM/CM. Just follow the instructions there if you encounter any more problems with the request or something you don't understand, you can let me know. Goodluck. Stanleytux (talk) 16:39, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Ok, I placed the page move here. I'm not sure how to close the discussion after seven days or if it happens automatically. Feel free to check it out!--ZiaLater (talk) 00:53, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Discussion has already been listed here, hopefully consensus will be reached. You need not close it yourself. Stanleytux (talk) 09:49, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Mr Raw

Hi Stanleytux. Hope all is well on your end? According to this source published by Vanguard, Raw changed his stage name from Nigga Raw to Mr. Raw. Thanks for the corrections to the N'abania article. The article is a bit sloppy and was one of first articles I created when I started editing here. Versace1608 (Talk) 21:10, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

I know Raw had a switch of names sometime in his career. I also know that at the beginning, as the time that album was released, he was widely known by fans as Dat N.I.G.G.A Raw. The name is basically an acroymn for Dat Naija Guy Raw or something close to that. Anyways, I only corrected it from the censored version N**** Raw you had previously wrote. So instead of having the wrong spelling up, I replaced it with the correct spelling which is Dat N.I.G.G.A Raw. You can change it back to Mr. Raw but you know we can always redirect from former names (that is if a page ever gets created for the artist). Stanleytux (talk) 21:28, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Its fine man. There's no need for that. Versace1608 (Talk) 21:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

IP sock activity

Hi Stanleytux. I don't know what you did to the IP editor. Looks like he/she targeted several pages you created as a payback for nominating the Gerald Milton article. Just so you know, I reported the IP for sockpuppetry. I think that after getting block, the IP opened up three different accounts, all of which contributed to Gerald Milton's afd discussion. Versace1608 (Talk) 21:13, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Image on Phyno

I noticed you said an image on Phyno's article should be removed because it was not in line with MOS:IMAGES. While I agree that the quality of such image was not appropriate for the lead of the article, it is totally in line with existing practice to let the image remain, since it is the only one we presently have on Wikipedia. I was able to easily identify that it was Phyno from looking at the image. I can still recall an administrator putting the only image of a french actress with a very low quality and bad positioning on her article. If there was a better image of Phyno then it will be ok to remove the image. I did not want to engage in an edit-conflict with you that was why I ignored it, I am pretty sure if a 3rd person looks at the case, they will re-add the image to the article. Darreg (talk) 21:38, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Darreg, Poor quality images (dark, blurry, etc) should not be used on any of Wikipedia's articles. (see MOS:IMAGES). If you happen to come across one that does not follow the guideline above, please remove it immediately from the article. Stanleytux (talk) 22:41, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Rotimi Amaechi

I wanted to let you know that I undid a move you made on Rotimi Amaechi page per WP:COMMONNAME. You gave your reason for the move as his first name being Chibuike, but Wikipedia is more concerned about the name you are known as than your first name as a title. No one knows him as Chibuike, he is normally addressed officially as Governor Rotimi Amaechi.

• The first name of Bill Clinton is actually William.
• The first name of John F. Kennedy is actually Jack
• The first name of Mahatma Gandhi is actually Mohandas

But these names are never used as the titles of their Wikipedia pages because they are commonly known by some of their other names. Regards. Darreg (talk) 11:24, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Category:Healthcare in Port Harcourt

I've been sorting out health categorisation. I propose to abolish the categories for health in cities. They are unhelpful. People interested in Port Harcourt are more likely to find the articles using Category:Healthcare in Nigeria.Rathfelder (talk) 14:58, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand what is gained by a series of categories for hospitals in cities in Nigeria. Wouldn't it be better to categorise them by states?Rathfelder (talk) 20:18, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rathfelder, you can't just empty categories that is of good use to the project, and you still haven't done what Paul 012 suggested that you do. The right place where you can propose categories for deletion or recategorisation is at WP:CFD. Stanleytux (talk) 20:32, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I have proposed the category for deletion. There were actually very few countries with hospitals categorised by city. Categorisation by city is inherently incomplete, because not all hospitals are in cities. But all hospitals are in states (in Nigeria) or counties or whatever is used in other countries. Can you tell me why this categorisation is useful? There don't seem to be a huge number of hospitals in Nigeria with articles. Rathfelder (talk) 20:39, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Indiscriminate reverts

Hello Stanleytux,

please before you make your reverts, be sure the contribution you're reverting is indeed inappropriate! You made several reverts recently, all of which are not right. Be aware that this is not helpful to the encyclopaedia and is infact disruptive. I also observed that you focused on reverting several edits I made, in a short time frame, and irrationally. I don't know what your reasons were, but I can take that as harassment! These two things can cause you to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This is a friendly notice. Regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:57, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Stanleytux, I recently made a change to the Rotimi Amaechi profile page and you had it reverted. Please note that this was a minor change to reflect the fact that he is currently the Minister of Transportation, hence I moved it up to the first column on the offices held section. Most, if not all wikipedia profiles have the current office first and then all other offices in descending order not ascending. Can you tell me exactly why you think this change was un-constructive?

Please include the review as a source in the article. Let's see how good it is.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 17:47, 14 May 2016 (UTC) Just so you know, WP:NSONG states that If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created.. Hope this review is independent of the album review.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 17:50, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

I am taking those two songs to Afd. Better be ready to state your argument there. You are yet to include the net review you said you found. If you are talking about the one in the article, it is not an independent review.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 20:56, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Ada Priscilla Nzimiro.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ada Priscilla Nzimiro.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Port Harcourt

I did edited the weather box for Port Harcourt recently using more reliable sources since climatedata.org uses modelled data. I realized that you removed the parameter "|rain colour = green" recently, saying in the edit summary that it was a tweak. The reason that it was added is that it helps to distinguish the rainfall from humidity and # of days with rain. As well, the colour gradient tends to be more evenly spread out since the blue colouring gradient tends to be too high (it becomes strong too quick, becoming strong already at around 100 mm compared to 180-190 mm for the green colouring), making it look the same for values above 150 mm. I hope this clarifies why I added back this back. Thanks. Ssbbplayer (talk) 14:30, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing, whether it's a river in Malawi, a Nigerian footballer, or a South African civil rights activist, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. For those of you who signed up to the North African contest, that will hopefully be held in the new year.

Suggestion for you

Hello Stanley,

You are doing such a great job with adding and editing Rivers State related articles. I would suggest you revisit the Rivers State Government Ministry Pages created and also add infoboxes which contains head of department and other valuable information. Well done once again. Zazzysa (talk) 15:48, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Noah Arthur Cox-George

N.A.W. Cox-George was not Nigerian. He was born to Sierra Leonean parents in what is now the Republic of Nigeria and was born a British subject. He self-identified as Sierra Leonean and never identified as Nigerian since his birth there was only incidental-his parents were working there at the time.

I will revert the erroneous and misleading changes that you have made.

--Wikiaddict6989 (talk) 17:32, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Tamara Eteimo

You reverted two edits on this article, because one of them removed sources. You completely ignored the next, and chose to undo it anyway. This is not at all good. The first problem is that the first edit actually changed smart quotes to straight, as per MOS:STRAIGHT. My edit then added a date tag, and carried out unity tasks, as per MOS:DATEUNIFY.

What I have done now is restore the sources. You should have done this, instead of just clicking 'rollback'. See WP:SEP. This outlines why you should look to find a sustainable solution, rather than passing the work onto other editors, as you did here.

Stop edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Olaudah Equiano. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Please cease erasing talk page content and reverting edits. Long-standing content has established that there is not scholarly consensus on Equiano's birthplace. Please state your case on talk.Ptb011985 (talk) 03:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Restoring inappropriate links

Regarding this, the links you restored are inappropriate per WP:ELNO. Also using the rollback function this way to revert my edits could be considered problematic. Please be more careful with it and use it as authorized : for blatant vandalism etc. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:37, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Laura Mattiazzi

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Laura Mattiazzi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Sargdub (talk) 03:42, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Bishop Godfrey Okoye.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts and undisclosed paid editing.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Yunshui ^雲_水 08:46, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Hello Yunshui, this must be some kind of mistake because I did not use multiple accounts. I checked the account you are linking my account to and it doesn't even have any edits other than edits made to their user page. I understand WP:Sock but User:RayAchilles has not participated in any Afd or created any page other than their userpage. I would appreciate it if you can explain to me the part of WP:Sock my account violated. You also included Paid Editing as another reason for blocking my account but didn't provide any evidence or proof. Check my articles and tell me where I violated WP:COI. I always try to source my articles. Stanleytux (talk) 09:38, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I'm sorry, I cannot unblock you at this time. Further rationale-- This is a checkuser block. Please read the GAB for further options. There is, of course, socking involved. Please read and heed WP:PAID for requirements in the unlikely event of an unblock. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 13:36, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Sam Saleh, at the least. Yunshui ^雲_水 12:54, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your response Yunshui, frankly speaking, I have never met Dr. Sam Saleh in my life and I don't know him personally. I got all the info from his website and those sources in the article. I have checked the article for WP:COI, please if there is promotional content in the article, feel free to delete it or just nominate it for deletion at Afd. I don't have anything to lose about this article not a dime was paid to me for it. Stanleytux (talk) 13:10, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Per WP:BEANS I'm not going into further detail here. Admins considering unblocking are welcome to email me for details. Yunshui ^雲_水 13:27, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Stanleytux (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I have read WP:Paid and WP:Sock. I understand that my account was blocked because checkuser detected that my account may have shared the same IP address with User:RayAchilles which I can't argue or dispute because stuff happens. However, that account has not created any article, participated in any Afd, evaded a block or disrupted any edits on Wikipedia. The only edit user made was create their userpage. I have checked but can't find in Wikipedia:Sock where it states that no two Wikipedia accounts must exist on the same IP address or use same device. Let's not rule out the possibility of a test account or new user learning to create a wiki account. Stanleytux (talk) 14:38, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You have created multiple accounts with the intention of spamming, and the article you admit to having been paid for in violation of the terms of use also appears to be a violation of our local policy against promotion. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:18, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

My apologies to Yunshui and Dlohcierekim for not telling what actually happened at first, it was a private matter and I didn't have the courage to speak on it. The truth is someone reached out to me to create the Sam Saleh article, and after I found multiple reliable sources discussing the subject, I decided to go ahead with it. I have not received a dime for the article yet although he/she was going to compensate me. I created User:RayAchilles but abandoned it immediately after realizing that it would amount to WP:SOCK if I used it. I promise that moving forward, I will place the {{connected contributor (paid)}} template at the top of the talk page accompanying any paid contributions (and to fill in the parameters), and to supply a clearly visible list of paid contributions on my main user page. 

Here is the only article I have been rewarded for creating: Lyst. Please feel free to nominate any of the articles if you feel they don't meet our notability threshold. Stanleytux (talk) 10:16, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

It's quite unfortunate that many of the Nigerian editors who started with me on Wikipedia years ago are getting blocked. To be honest, I've always suspected you as a COI editor mainly because of the choice of topics you contributed to. But the reason I never lighted a flame or see any need to ask you directly was because I also reviewed many of your articles between 2014 and 2016, and you usually stick to Wikipedia guidelines in terms of referencing and writing in your own words, however, POV pushing was slightly an issue especially with respect to the government of Rivers State. Since you have admitted to being in contact with one of the subject of the articles you created, and I'm concerned about the neutrality of articles that are part of WikiProject Nigeria, then I think I should also voice my concern, mainly for clarity. Are you paid by the incumbent Rivers State government to write Wikipedia articles for them? If I'm wrong you can either just say no, or ignore my post and we're good. But if there is any atom of truth in my question, then it will be a wise decision to declare now because it wouldn't be nice if after you get unblocked something related to COI or Paid editing comes up again. There is no third chance on Wikipedia.

PS: Personally, I don't think there is an issue with an editor being interested in a state (their culture, geography, ethnic groups, etc.), but since you also work on government articles, that is sensitive, and needs disclosure where possible.

Cheers.HandsomeBoy (talk) 18:14, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi HandsomeBoy, I'm not being paid to create Rivers State-related articles. I have disclosed the only article I was compensated for, above. Stanleytux (talk) 22:46, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. If I were to be an admin handling this case, I'll unblock you after 6-12 months. This is because an experienced editor such as yourself, who is very familiar with Wikipedia stance on COI, paid editing and multiple accounts (you also have sockpuppetry history) should be making better judgements such as this. I checked when the account User:RayAchilles was created and the date Lyst article was published, and they all happened in December 2018! If it were when you were less experienced, it will have been more understandable, but honestly speaking I don't think this was a case of being a little "ignorant of the law", you knew what you were doing but didn't know you will get caught. We all make mistakes definitely, but even me as an editor, there are some policies I can never break anymore, not because I'm very careful, but I expect Wikipedians such as you and me who have seen so much on this site due to experiences from other individuals to be more guided accordingly. I wish you goodluck, hopefully you come back in 6 months. "Unfollows page". HandsomeBoy (talk) 16:17, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
