December 2022

Hello, I'm Peaceray. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Flag of Cameroon seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Peaceray (talk) 20:18, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Greetings Peaceray. Why did you remove my work while it is similar to that of the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Vilaminta (talk) 21:16, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Lebialem. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, you may be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:04, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Cameroon. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 15:28, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

States and Counties of Ambazonia moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, States and Counties of Ambazonia, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 20:10, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Do not evade the process of article review by creating copies of articles

You created a duplicate of the abovementioned article in mainspace, after your prior article on this topic was moved to Draft. I have redirected the article with the following rationale: Already covered in Ambazonia#Administrative structure. Subject not suitable for a standalone page per WP:PAGEDECIDE; most content is not even relevant, and nothing is worth merging due to poor sourcing. Do not evade the process of article review by creating copies of articles, since this is disruptive. —Alalch E. 14:40, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Unsourced edits after final warning

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}.

Disambiguation link notification for January 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Wainamah, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Social Democratic Front. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Discospinster. I noticed that you recently removed content from Bangem without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ... discospinster _talk 17:40, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Your edit to Widikum has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 11:21, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

States of Ambazonia

You have not provided any sources for the flags you uploaded. If they are fictional, they have to be deleted. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 19:03, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

https://www.ambazoniagov.org/index.php/about-us/who-we-are Here is my source. Vilaminta (talk) 06:37, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't see the flags anywhere on that website. Where did you get them from? Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 10:55, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Why did you re-add the flags after I removed them? You have yet to demonstrate that they are in any way official. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 19:19, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Vilaminta! Your additions to Nguti have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 16:21, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for creating Bamusso. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it has no sources. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Nguti moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Nguti, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, or a link to an official government source showing it is a legally recognized populated place. This article has zero. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:33, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Warning

Please stop adding fabricated content. Earlier today, you arbitrarily changed the population figure of Ambazonia, without providing a source on how the population has somehow doubled since 2015. You have been warned multiple times about this, and will likely end up getting blocked if you don't stop. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 16:15, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Your information is based on an out dated source. Vilaminta (talk) 09:09, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

If you were to add the population of all states, then you will come to see. Your information is based on an out dated source, even predating 2015. Vilaminta (talk) 09:25, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

For future reference, you can't just change the number without also updating the source. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 22:15, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

February 2023

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Upper Bayang a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Upper Bayang. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:09, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Nguti (February 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Eagleash was: Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Nguti and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Vilaminta! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

This is now the third time that you have done this in the last few days. If a draft is submitted to WP:AFC and subsequently approved, the person who approves it will move the draft to article space in the proper manner, preserving history and attribution. The fact that you are either not waiting for that approval, or are blatantly ignoring a decline (such as the above message from Eagleash) indicates that you have little regard for Wikipedia policies, and that is disruptive. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:00, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Vilaminta (persistent insertion of fabricated content). Thank you. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 14:20, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Nomination of States of Ambazonia for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article States of Ambazonia is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/States of Ambazonia until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Your contributed article, States of Ambazonia

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, States of Ambazonia. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Ambazonia. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Ambazonia. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. —Alalch E. 10:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

March 2023

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nkambé. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Do NOT use misleading edit summaries, such as introducing changes into an article cloaked with "fixed typo" as an edit summary. Ravenswing 13:19, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

April 2023

Hi Vilaminta! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

I have blocked you indefinitely because it's quite obvious that you are not here to collaboratively or accurately contribute to an encyclopaedia project. Your talk page is littered with warnings that you are outright ignoring, and your last block did nothing to correct your disruptive behaviour. You are just outright adding unsourced material and made up hoaxes into the project which cannot be allowed. Maybe another wiki is more appropriate to you or your own website, but here we base everything on verifiability and just making things up or putting in your own opinion or worldview is not how we work.

Concern regarding Draft:Bamusso

Hello, Vilaminta. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Bamusso, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 16:02, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Bamusso

Hello, Vilaminta. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Bamusso".

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 deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:55, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
