WP:PLACEDAB and Nigeria

Hi, I notice that you've been active in making pagemoves and requested moves over the last while. As you know, I've started a discussion concerning WP:PLACEDAB and expect that the current policy will be updated soon. This would mean that all ambiguous Nigerian cities would follow the format Placename, Nigeria, and not Placename, State as the policy currently specifies. I'd ask that you consider pausing your activity for a few days; once the policy is in place, then these moves will be uncontroversial and the articles can be moved per the new standard. 162 etc. (talk)

162 etc. Okay, but what about the ones that have been moved? Josedimaria237 (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnster for you

		The Football Barnstar
		So Super 6 ended yesterday, and I was thinking about creating time to work on the article. It was nice to see you already beat me to it. I use to be only one committed to updating these articles, but I feel really glad to know that there is someone else that is dedicated to creating detailed articles on our elite football. For this reason, I am issuing you this barnster. HandsomeBoy (talk) 14:15, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am a member of a closed WhatsApp group that contains most of the key administrators in the NWFL, I am wondering if you are also there? HandsomeBoy (talk) 14:17, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I am even surprised that there are other Wikipedians concerned about NWFL and Nigerian women's football.

I am not on that WhatsApp group. Josedimaria237 (talk) 15:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What's even more surprising is that we are both male, where are the Nigerian women editors????. I actually started contributing in this area because of the obvious content gap, but along the line I started to really follow and enjoy women's football. I streamed the entire UWCL game on YouTube live, and I really enjoyed that game. For Nigeria, I mostly only watch highlights, but will be glad to visit a stadium one of this days, at least it will be an avenue to get pictures into some of these wiki articles. Hope you have joined WikiProject Nigeria? HandsomeBoy (talk) 15:14, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Me too I would like to watch an NWFL game and I follow women's football a lot.

I will like to join WikiProject Nigeria because a lot of Nigerian articles need heavy updates and I need users who can contribute to Nigerian football updates with pictures, I am finding it difficult to upload pictures on Wikipedia and I have stopped as it may lead to me getting blocked if I remain persistent.

You can join WP:WikiProject Nigeria by following this wikilink Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nigeria#Active_members, and adding your username to the members section. Concerning images, I have added more than 100 images to Wikipedia/Commons, so I think I am in a good position to assist in that regard. There are also many experienced editors that monitor the WikiProject Nigeria talkpage, and they will be quick to respond to any of your query. We are always glad to help because we were once assisted too. I am very sure you will be assisting others on the talkpage in the nearest future.HandsomeBoy (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@HandsomeBoy: Thank you, I have joined WikiProject Nigeria, I will like you to add me to the mailing list. Josedimaria237 (talk) 21:14, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Josedimaria237,

Please review WP:DRAFTIFY for policy on when it is proper for editors to move articles from main space to Draft space, especially the "Reasons not to move an article to draftspace" section. Unless an article is moved to Draft space as a result of an AFD closure, articles that have been created more than 90 days ago should not be draftified. This article was 14 years old so it was not eligible to be moved to Draft space. Again, please review the guidelines so you are better informed about draftification. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

This…

…could be a clear oversight but your contributions at Mark Nwagwu lacks citations. You should take a look at it and confirm what I said. Best, Reading Beans 20:22, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Reading Beans: There is a reference, unless you're saying the reference is not valid.Jõsé^hola 14:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am talking about this part; He attended Christ the King School, Aba between 1942 to 1949 then proceeded to St. Patrick’s College, Calabar to study between 1950 to 1956.

He received his B.Sc degree in Zoology from the University of London in 1961 and his M.Sc degree in 1965, he also received a Ph.D degree in Zoology from the University of Stockholm in 1965.

Nwagwu went to the University of Connecticut in 1966, where he completed spectacular researches on myosinmessenger RNA and muscle-protein synthesis on his post-doctoral fellowship. Or, is it from the Business Day article? I’d suggested adding the reference in each paragraph. Best, Reading Beans 20:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking a look and fixing it. You rock! Best, Reading Beans 04:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Reading Beans: Is that okay? Jõsé^hola 14:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It is, 100%. Thank you. Best, Reading Beans 11:11, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-attributed translations

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from zh:胡介国 to Hu Jieguo. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given here. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution must be given retroactively, for example:

NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.

Retroactive attribution may be added using a dummy edit; see Repairing insufficient attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must add attribution retrospectively, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:01, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Ibrahim Mustapha (Nigerian footballer) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Giant Snowman 12:22, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How is the fullname not constructive? @GiantSnowman: Jõsé^hola 17:07, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a fullname, and the stats were wrong. Giant Snowman 09:13, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking it's a fullname as I noticed in a source.@GiantSnowman: Jõsé^hola 09:55, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One, you did not cite any source. Secondly, NFT clearly has it as a nickname. Giant Snowman 10:17, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
