Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 12:03, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit] Hello SuperSwift, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to University of Benin Teaching Hospital have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 here.
- 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:31, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
Re: The Message you sent me
[edit]I got your message informing me of your block, and I can understand why you sounded quite angry. It might interest you to know that your account is actually not blocked for "promoting a brand" as you said, I believe its your ip that was caught in an autoblock. If you change your ISP (or network) you should no longer see blocking message. To remove the autoblock, you need to post your ip address here so that I can help you request the unblock, but if you can do it yourself then follow this format {{unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but fixYourIPAdressHere is not an open proxy.}}

Unblock request
[edit]
SuperSwift (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but 197.211.53.240 is not an open proxy.
Decline reason:
That's not the reason that IP address is blocked. It's blocked with the following notice: "Using Wikipedia for promotion or advertising purposes: All anon editing halted, UPE socks + ads on talk pages, too socks created, tpa revoked" Yamla (talk) 22:04, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Unblock request
[edit]
SuperSwift (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
The previous disruptive edits by 197.211.53.240 were not made by SuperSwift.
Decline reason:
That range will remain blocked due to heavy abuse. Since you are editing today, it means that you do have some access and I see the explanation below.

Let me add that the reason SuperSwift was able to edit yesternight was because he subscribed for MTN (another ISP) night plan which runs from 12 midnight till 4 am. He logged on this morning with his regular glo sim to find out that he is still blocked on the Globacom ip address, so the issue is still not resolved as glo is his main network provider, and this has really been affecting his editing on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HandsomeBoy (talk • contribs) 08:33, April 6, 2018 (UTC)
HandsomeBoy is right. I used a different network at night and was happy thinking that the block has been revoked only to go back to my usual network provider and found out that I'm still blocked. You can as well check NY contributions and you will discover I've not promoted anyone or any brandSuperSwift (talk) 23:27, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 6
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Anioma people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Asaba (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 09:18, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
There's nothing more I can do for you. Nothing in your email was private, so I suggest you post an unblock request here. Note that I am not the blocking admin. That's Berean Hunter (talk · contribs). --Yamla (talk) 14:58, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- While I do not disagree with the need to post his unblock request here. If the block revokes access to his talkpage, how then is he expected to post an unblock request here? But let me also add that I haven't communicated with him in days so I don't know the current situation of things regarding the block. HandsomeBoy (talk) 17:08, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- once again I still need a review of the unblock request. If my IP address is blocked, I think that you should review my contributions and decide if I am guilty of such offenses or the user previously assigned that IP. When I hear things like "heavy abuse", all I do is wonder as to what that phrase means. All I'm trying to do here is to edit and create articles relating to Nigeria as most of the articles are poorly written. I will categorically state it again that I have not and will not promote any brand or personality on wikipedia. ThanksSuperSwift (talk) 23:22, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- Discussing one facet of the block, the reason why talkpage access is blocked across the range is because it was being abused by anons and accounts with spamming. See this example by 197.211.59.165. In the next example by 197.211.63.89, you can only partially see because it has been oversighted (removed) but you can see the edit summary to see that it was spam. The next examples have been completely oversighted including the edit summary so you won't be able to see anything except that the edits were oversighted:
- Talkpage access was initially blocked by another admin, Primefac on Jan. 9. He converted that to a hardblock on Jan. 27 but unblocked the range entirely about 12 hours later following this conversation. A complete unblock occurred presumably because the underlying CU block had expired.
- On Jan. 30, I picked up on 197.211.59.169 and blocked them. Only admins can see those deleted contribs but it is more spamming. I then ran a check and immediately recognized accounts that are undisclosed paid editors that sock. I spent about two hours evaluating that range and making blocks. The next day, an issue came up and I responded to the checkusers' mailing list mentioning account creation spurts, "...you see stretches of account creations that look suspect. They remain unblocked but I have a feeling they'll pop up later."
- There were no apparent problems for two months until I was asked about the block because of an editing event. I dropped the block temporarily and it was down for about three days before I restored it. The first example that I gave you by 197.211.59.165 occurred while the block was down, so yes the problems still exist.
- When making the decision to block that range, I weighed good edits from unblocked editors against bad edits from socks, spammers etc. The bad edits far outweighed the good edits. Many previous accounts that might have been viewed as collateral damage before were blocked.
- The range being blocked presumably has nothing to do with you or your contributions. Nonetheless, unblocking it would be unwise.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 14:56, 10 April 2018 (UTC)- Converted it from a hardblock to an anonblock after looking into the range today. You should be able to edit.

Yeaaa, a quick tip. You may always mention, tag the user whose page you are leaving a message on. It notifies them. By the way, there is a WhatsApp group for young Wikipedians. I don't know if you'll love to join. It was initially designed for my school's club but its now open to more. I'll just drop it's description.
Team Typo: Wikipedia needs to be regularly cleaned up and trimmed of any unencyclopedic elements. You can help with that while improving your editing experience. Tasks and wikieducational links are posted here regularly as part of the editors training and follow up program.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Tunji Olaopa
[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Draft:Tunji Olaopa, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Lekki Wives
[edit]
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.
A tag has been placed on Draft:Lekki Wives requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://peopletrending.blogspot.com/2013/01/lekki-wives-must-watch-drama-series.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. S Philbrick(Talk) 14:59, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- Sphilbrick I'm even shocked at this. A new user who was being taught the basics of creation forgot to log me out before the creation of this article. I suggested to the user on creation of the page since it was among the suggested pages for creation on a wiki project. I will be more careful next time.SuperSwift (talk) 06:26, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, you've grown to be a fantastic and experienced editor. Whenever I look at your contributions, I feel very happy to have introduced you to editing WP and am even happier that you are enjoying the experience. Please try to initiate others (esp Nigerians) so we can be more fairly represented here.

Invitation to participate in study
[edit]Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:14, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of SuperSwift/sandbox
[edit]
A tag has been placed on SuperSwift/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Accidental creation by a user. Duplicates Mary Njoku
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:57, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
- Deletion approved by me. There was a major error Zackmann08. SuperSwift (talk) 16:22, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Event coordinator granted
[edit]
After reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have temporarily enabled the flag on your account until 2019-05-02. 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! Swarm talk 00:37, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- thank you very much Swarm. I will use this privilege in great ways.SuperSwift (talk) 06:54, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
AfroCine: The Months of African Cinema Continues….
[edit]Greetings!
Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.
It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!
We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!
- Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
- Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
- Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
- Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.
Thank you once again for being part of this global event!
Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Orphaned non-free image File:Theatrical poster for 2018 film, King of Boys.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Theatrical poster for 2018 film, King of Boys.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:49, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
Ways to improve Chinny Onwugbenu
[edit]Thanks for creating Chinny Onwugbenu.
A New Page Patroller Rosguill just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:
The article's subject's strongest claim to notability is that they have won an award for a film they produced (per WP:ANYBIO), but they may not meet WP:GNG despite this. To further establish the subject's notability, provide more citations to significant coverage (more than a mere-mention of their name) in independent, reliable sources.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
signed, Rosguill talk 00:56, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
- thanks Rosguill. That's an issue beyond us in Nigeria. Media coverage on notable topics is a major issue. There are many more sources of information on Chinny Onwugbenu but not covered on reliable media. I have many more notable topics to create but I'm having same issues with media coverage. Her production of Lionheart which was acquired by Netflix prompted me to creating an article about her despite the fact that she has won a reputable award. I will keep searching for reliable sources.SuperSwift (talk) 10:00, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

All our winners have been recognized and you can check the complete list here.
For a pilot event, all our expectations were surpassed and we have you to thank for that. Thank you so much for being part of this global event! Thank you for helping to fix African content gaps on Wikipedia! We hope to see more of your participation in future AfroCine events and activities.

Aize Obayan’s death
[edit]Hello, I noticed you edited the Aize Obayan wiki page an hour ago, and the page now states that she died today. I also notice it didn’t state any cause of death or any reliable citation to where the information was gotten. I would like to know if you were responsible for this edit, if yes, please can you confirm the credibility of this info. David Ayoola (talk) 16:17, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- Will do so. Actually no media outlet has carried the news and I know I will have to get citations to prove it. I will revert the changes until a reliable platform that can be referenced puts up the news. SuperSwift (talk) 19:02, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
Autopatrolled granted
[edit]
Hi SuperSwift, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 01:26, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Some Clarification
[edit]Hello there, I was just wondering about your very recent edits with the Wale Babalakin article. I know almost nothing about the subject of the article, but I did see that there was a LOT of blanking of large amounts of material. Just wondering what was wrong with those sections. GreyPage (talk) 23:49, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hello GreyPage The article was more of an advertisement. Those involved in creating the article have little or no understanding of NPOV and I sense there's a COI. SuperSwift (talk) 23:53, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Ok. Thanks for the clarification! GreyPage (talk) 23:55, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, University of Benin (Nigeria), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 19:25, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
- Please do not use "Undid revision" edit summaries when you are not undoing the edit you refer to. My edit was to remove unsourced material. The edit you mischaracterized as "undoing" was not an undo at all; it was adding material with a source as should have been the case from the beginning. TJRC (talk) 17:07, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- Oh that's true TJRC. Sorry about that. SuperSwift (talk) 19:59, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

- Hello Snowman, I think he qualifies for WP:GNG because he received enough media attention after his silver boot at the FIFA U-17 tournament but since he is yet to play for the senior team, then he fails for WP:NFOOTBALL.
