Hello WikiSiji. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Crystallizedcarbon, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

You'll have to be a bit more specific. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:20, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict) You'll want to make sure that the person meets Wikipedia's standards of notability, that is, that he or she has received significant coverage in reliable third-party sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines reporting on him or her in some detail. If that's the case, you can use the Article Wizard to write a draft that neutrally summarizes what those sources report about the person, without embellishment. You should cite the sources so our readers can verify that the summary is accurate (that's particularly important for living persons where there might be issues of libel or of promotion). When you're done, you can use the "Submit the draft for a review" button in the messagebox at the top to submit the draft for a review by an experienced editor who will either turn it into a live article or provide feedback on why it falls short.

For a general introduction to how Wikipedia works, you may want to check out the tutorial or, for a more playful approach, The Wikipedia Adventure. Help:Editing may also be of interest.

As I said above, the first step is finding reliable sources such as newspapers or sports magazines that report on the person in some detail. You have created a draft at User:WikiSiji/sandbox/Akinsiku; you can edit that page via the "edit" tab at the top of the page and summarize (in your own words, to avoid copyright issues) what the sources report about the subject. See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily create nicely-formatted footnotes. Once the daft is written and saved (again, see Help:Editing), you can submit it for a review by an experienced editor via the "Submit your draft for review!" button in the messagebox at the top.

Speedy deletion nomination of Alex Akinyemi Victor

Hello WikiSiji,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Alex Akinyemi Victor for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Your draft article, User:WikiSiji/sandbox/Akinsiku

Hello, WikiSiji. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox/Akinsiku".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 20:42, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
