Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Benneth Nwankwo, from its old location at User:Olugold/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liancetalk/contribs 13:51, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, Olugold, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have another librarian as a member of the project. I see you have some experience in editing but have not yet created any biographies of women. When you decide to do so, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:44, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Olugold/sandbox
Hello, Olugold. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Olugold/sandbox, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

Blocked users
 | This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
Hi! An Edit-a-thon event was organised under the IWUG, we properly guided new editors to register on Meta but after a while some users were blocked for no reason. These users couldn't participate during the event because they could not log into the dashboard These users are Grace Nwosu, Onkovictor, Omalichababy, Bhec Khey, Ndubueze Jenny, estheribeh97. Can anything be done? Thank you. Olugold (talk) 05:12, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, Olugold. None of the usernames that you have listed exists on English Wikipedia apart from Omalichababy, and that one isn't directly blocked. I don't know why creating a meta account hasn't automatically resulted in an English Wikipedia account being created too. I'll leave this help request open in case some administrator who knows more about this kind of thing can help. You may also be able to get help by asking at meta.
- As for Omalichababy, which does exist on en Wikipedia, maybe there's an IP block or an autoblock causing problems, though it seems unlikely if you can edit from the same IP address. Can you post a copy of the exact message that the users get, telling them that they can't edit? JBW (talk) 22:34, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you JBW. I'll find out on Meta as you suggested because this kind of block reoccurs each we have an event.
- Below are some of the messages
- "Account creation error.
- You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. Editing from your IP address (129.205.124.97) has been blocked (disabled) on all Wikimedia wikis until 05:02, 15 March 2022 by Tks4Fishe (meta.wikimedia.org) for the following reason: Open proxy: Visit the help page if you are affected This block began on 04:02, 16 February 2022 Your current IP address is 129.205.124.97. Please include all..."
- "You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia due to a block affecting this IP address. This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages. Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or..." Olugold (talk) 10:48, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- JBW I see that one of the users Onkovictor has an active userpage. Thank you! Olugold (talk) 10:54, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- That's a user page on meta, which is automatically displayed on Wikipedia if there isn't a separate user page on Wikipedia.
- If the block applies to all Wikimedia wikis then it certainly needs to be dealt with on meta.
- Since this help request has now been open for over 32 hours and nobody else has commented, it seems unlikely that anyone will, so I'm closing the request. JBW (talk) 13:39, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- One more thought. It seems obvious that you must be in Africa. I don't know much about this, but I believe that many African ISPs connect users through shared IP addresses, which are essentially a kind of proxies, and Wikimedia projects often block them as open proxies. I hope you can find someone on meta who knows more about that kind of issue. JBW (talk) 13:46, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for replying swiftly Olugold (talk) 15:04, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Event coordinator granted
After reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:
- The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
- The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
- The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
- Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! Femke (talk) 16:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you so much @Femke: I will definitely put this right into good use and will always ask for help when the need arises. Olugold (talk) 17:22, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Good luck, my talk page is always open for questions :). Femke (talk) 17:47, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
