Hi to Dbaidoo

Sockpuppet investigation

[edit]

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Omorodion1, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

This is unrelated because I am using only one account on Wikipedia. I am have created another account due to the IP error message I received when I created the first account. The error message prevented me from logging to the AfLIA dashboard, which forced me to try creating another account. Wikipedia can delete the other account if it is on their system because I am not using it. I had not logged on to it since, and I cannot use two accounts for the same purpose. A new user error of this nature usually happens but that does not mean that the user is using both accounts. I know that could not be possible, but if that could be possible, in my case, I am using only one account. Besides, I cannot remember any other password to any other account on Wikipedia apart from the account I am using presently.Dbaidoo (talk) 04:27, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mirrors

[edit]

Information icon Thanks for contributing to the article Cocoa production in Ghana ‎. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. Kuru (talk) 14:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for the alert. I am new to editing and providing citations on Wikipedia. I have realized that I am improving as I continue to develop on the work. I be careful to following all your alerts and corrections which are welcomed by me.

Thanks.Dbaidoo (talk) 14:48, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I know it's hard to spot those sometimes. Kuru (talk) 15:17, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Hi I have looked through the document but could not find where the issue raised could be located. Could you please redirect to where the issue raised is for a possible substitution of the citation inserted. Thanks Dbaidoo (talk) 02:54, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure.
  • In this edit, you added a reference to "wikiwand". The page there notes at the top of the page "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". It further notes that "This page is based on a Wikipedia article written by contributors (read/edit)." at the bottom of the page. As the text was clearly copied from here, it cannot be used as a reference.
  • In this edit, you added a reference to "enacademic.com" which notes the source as "Wikipedia" at the top of the page, and includes an attribute to "Wikimedia Foundation. 2010." at the bottom.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Kuru (talk) 13:26, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kuru, thanks once again for alert and for helping with this issue. I checked to replace with an external citation but realized it had been removed and that is fine with me. Kind regardsDbaidoo (talk) 15:23, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You just added a reference to "peoplepill" here. This site has this disclaimer at the bottom: "The contents of this page are sourced from Wikipedia article." Please take the time to evaluate these references - if they have the same sentences as the Wikipedia article, that's usual;y a clue that something is wrong. (either they copied us, or we copied them) Kuru (talk) 17:49, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of From Colonialism to Freedom

[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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on From Colonialism to Freedom requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.

From Colonialism to Freedom moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, From Colonialism to Freedom, does not have enough sources and citations 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 follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 19:49, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What do I do if I complete the article and I need it back on the mainspace? Thanks. --Dbaidoo (talk) 07:38, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Once it is complete you can submit it for review by following the instructions in the box on the top of the page. ... discospinster talk 13:36, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[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 From Colonialism to Freedom requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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".

The page was moved to the draft and working on it. Thanks.--Dbaidoo (talk) 17:25, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it to User:Dbaidoo/From Colonialism to Freedom again since it appears that you accidentally recreated it in the main article space. Please note that the topic matter falls under the existing Ghana article, so the content should probably be added there instead of as its own article. Additionally, remember to keep a neutral, encyclopedic tone when writing about topics. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:43, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Kwame Nkrumah commanding power for freedom.png

[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Kwame Nkrumah commanding power for freedom.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://thepeoplesnewsafrica.com/kwamer-nkrumah-the-black-african/. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — 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.

Your edits to Information science

[edit]

Hi Dbaidoo, I'm afraid I have reverted the references you added to Information science in this series of edits. I noticed one that did not look like it would have anything to do with the topic – a book called Ableism in academia : theorising experiences of disabilities and chronic illnesses in higher education which you added as a reference for the sentence "An information scientist is an individual, usually with a relevant subject degree or high level of subject knowledge, who provides focused information to scientific and technical research staff in industry or to subject faculty and students in academia." You did not provide a page number for where the text about information scientists could be found – that is important when you quote a 245-page book – but I assumed that you had access to the work and would have been able to verify that the sentence was in fact supported. Then I started looking at the other references you added, and when I had looked at six different references I was unable to find that any of them even mentioned the topic, and then I simply removed them all. Which part of this article about Dutch compound verbs supports the assertion that "[information science] tackles systemic problems first rather than individual pieces of technology within that system"? I can access this book about housing issues in the United States through my university, but I fail to find any mention of information science, much less of the claim that "one can see information science as a response to technological determinism, the belief that technology "develops by its own laws, that it realizes its own potential, limited only by the material resources available and the creativity of its developers". Looking more closely at that bit of text, I realised that you had added the reference in the middle of a verbatim quote from another source (which was already in the article). You did the same thing elsewhere in the article – in the "Definitions" section, you inserted three different reference in a blockquote from an identified source. None of those three sources included the quoted text, but even if they had, it would have been pointless to include them. The text already has a clearly identified source.

I am not sure what your purpose was – you are clearly not a spammer, but this addition of entirely unrelated references is not constructive, I'm afraid. Have a look at this policy to get more information about why Wikipedia articles have sources, and what the sources should do. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 14:46, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Just to note that I have also reverted your additions to E-book since they were equally unconnected to the topic. This online edition of a book catalogue from 1738 definitely doesn't tell us anything about the trend of print and e-books moving onto the Internet in the 2000s, and this text about concrete in the natural environment, does not support the information that the e-reader had an imagined precursor in a manifesto from the 1930s. Maybe you noticed the word "manifesto" and thought that on its own made the concrete book a useful source for that information? (In any case, there is a source for that, so another one is not required.) --bonadea contributions talk 14:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please ask a computing expert to help when adding references to library (computing)

[edit]

Topics in computing, such as "libraries" of code in computer software, are a very specialized topic, which uses common English words to refer to things very different from the way they're used in common situations - and a term may even be used in more than one different sense in computing.

For example, "relocation" in computing is very different from "relocation" in the sense of a person moving or "relocation" in the sense of a business or an organization such as a library moving, and "linking" to a library is different from "linking" to another web page.

You should probably ask for help from somebody in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at your university. They should be able to determine whether a given reference is relevant to a particular item. Guy Harris (talk) 07:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
