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.

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)

January 2023

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)

Thanks. I made a mistake Vilaminta (talk) 17:42, 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 Vilaminta (talk) 22:29, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Bamusso moved to draftspace

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.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:50, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

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)

Vilaminta (talk) 09:18, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

<re>"States of Ambazonia".</ref>

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)

AfC notification: Draft:Nguti has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Nguti. Thanks! Greenman (talk) 12:27, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
