Assistance on an issue

Hello, if you aren't to busy, please could you direct me on how to remove deletion templates? There is currently one on a "Bobrisky" article I created I think it has probably survived a deletion process but I'm not so sure if removing the template myself is good. As so your assistance on this would be very appreciated. Thank you Celestina007 (talk) 18:07, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Celestina007 From my findings, the AfD is still on. An AfD template should be removed from an article until a consensus has been reached. You can refer to this essay for more information; regards. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 19:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Lagos state University

Don't understand why you reverted my last edit at Lasu. Its people like you that discourage others from using wikipedia. An encyclopedia is meant to be current and not stale and static, and I don't know what source you quote that makes yours more correct than mine, please DO NOT REVERT AGAIN !AGAIN Mahveotm (talk) 15:04, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Mahveotm hello, I came across your statement as pertains to oluwa2chainz, when I started editing for Wikipedia in October I also was of the believe he was punishing me, until I saw how he was really helping me become better at editing & creating articles. Remember in the end, the user oluwa2chainz is doing his job, also keep in mind he knows more than you judging from history, experience & expertise, keep in mind also he has been here for long, I'd suggest you apologize for being vile to him. also take your time reading up essays provided by Wikipedia on how editing and creating an article works. Do have a nice day. —Celestina007 »» (talk to me) 12:00, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Hey User:Celestina007 just saw your comment and been relatively new to Wikipedia- less that three months, I'd advice you spend more time writing articles to the mainspace or editing them rather than littering comments on peoples talkpage and trying to court peoples favour.Once again welcome to the wikipedia community and and I hope you do have a nice stay here.Contrary to what you think I and oluwacurtis now oluwa2chainz have no axe to grind as I've helped in creating articles he requested for creation at wikilagos portal, I'd also love you join if you think you have any meaningful knowledge about Lagos you're willing to contribute. Hoping to see more of your contributions on wiki (I'd rather you communicate via my talkpage instead)Mahveotm (talk) 17:18, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: DarkA Gaming Clan

Hello Oluwa2Chainz, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of DarkA Gaming Clan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Content had been added. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. - GB fan 12:32, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello GB fan, it got deleted anyway. Thank you. --—Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 16:40, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

I know. I tagged it with the correct speedy deletion tag and it was deleted using that criterion. - GB fan 19:21, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Article Deletion Help

Hello,

My article "The Blackhouse Foundation" was recently deleted from Wikipedia without me getting the chance to contest the speedy deletion. I was wondering if there is a way I could get my original article back for future use. Also, if I still want to contest, since this article is in no way ambiguous advertising, how would I go about this in order to get my article back on Wikipedia for editing? In order to clear up the confusion on why it may have been seen as advertising, I would be deleting an entire section that discusses how to get involved yourself.

Thank you,

Hello Mbaldasarre, your article was deleted because it was written like an advert. This essay might interest you as it gives an in-depth analysis on how to write a good article. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 19:49, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Is there a way I could get my original article back for future edits please? It is titled the Blackhouse Foundation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbaldasarre (talk • contribs) 20:16, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I responded on the article's talk page. I get your reasoning but think it should stay because eventually it will be expanded. But I'll accept whatever decision is made.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 21:43, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Undeletion request of the Blackhouse Foundation article

Hello,

I am the author of The Blackhouse Foundation article. I was assigned to research something that has allowed a change in the Black community. I thought this foundation was amazing. The Blackhouse Foundation is a non-profit organization and in no way was my article advertising about their foundation. I wanted to spread the word about such an amazing opportunity and education about the foundation that has created so many positive opportunities for all races in the film world. I am filing this undeletion request because I believe the reason of "ambiguous advertising" was very off. I was hoping you would give me the chance to edit the article and make it clear that it is no way advertising for the foundation. It is rather getting the word out so everyone can be educated on the importance of this Foundation in our ever-changing world.

Thank you,

WikiCup December newsletter: WikiCup 2017

On 1 January 2017, WikiCup 2017 (the 10th Annual WikiCup) will begin. This year we are trying something a little different – monetary prizes.

For the WC2017 the prizes will be as follows (amounts are based in US$ and will be awarded in the form of an online Amazon gift certificate):

• First place – $200
• Second & Third place – $50 each
• Category prizes – $25 per category (which will be limited to FA, FL, FP, GA, and DYK for 2017). Winning a category prize does not require making it to the final round.

Note: Monetary prizes are a one-year experiment for 2017 and may or may not be continued in the future. In order to be eligible to receive any of the prizes above, the competing Wikipedia account must have a valid/active email address.

After two years as a WikiCup judge, Figureskatingfan is stepping down. We thank her for her contributions as a WikiCup judge. We are pleased to announce that our newest judge is two-time WikiCup champion Cwmhiraeth.

The judges for the 2017 WikiCup are Godot13 (talk · contribs · email), Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email).

Reference tags on Indian cricketer lists

Hi Oluwa2Chainz.

I refer to your two recent references needed tags on two article articles I created some weeks ago, List of Himachal Pradesh cricketers, and List of Goa cricketers.

Do they really need references when each of the linked to individual cricketer articles have relevant reference material already in place? Seems a bit redundant to me.

Regards. Eno Lirpa (talk) 01:08, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

@Oluwa2Chainz: Sorry but if there is no solid reason for having the redundant references I will remove the relevant tags. Eno Lirpa (talk) 12:41, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Article is correct as of my knowledge and based on IRCTC website

Railway junctions in Andhra Pradesh article is 100% correct as of my knowledge and based on IRCTC website i will find information If you feel wrong that information please check on IRCTC official site. so requested to please dont delete this article and my article is easy to find railway junctions in Andhrapradesh State.

Dear Oluwa2Chainz,

I edited the article on the artist Anna Camner on the artist's behalf. I am the artist's agent and previous gallerist. I added links to reviews in Swedish newspapers of her recent exhibitions, and even a link to the art prize she recently was awarded. What else can I do to make the changes come through? I understood relevant links to Swedish media that writes about Anna Camner, and to the private art foundation that gave her an award, were all reliable sources. What to do? Thank you in advance for your kind help,

Hello Oluwa2Chainz, I really think the page Project Pink Blue has sufficient and verifiable references. I suggest the page should be improve on instead of up for deletion. The organization is doing a lot of work helping women in rural areas and I think their voices need to be heard. They have won international awards in different countries. They also hosted Wiki Loves Women in Abuja. Which is a Wikipedia project. Kabusa16 (talk) 18:09, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

MEO Arena editing

Hi there.

As you stated, I did remove some content from the MEO Arena. I was under the impression that I accurately explained the changes, but maybe something went wrong. I'll restate the reason for the removal.

The (now called) MEO Arena is a multipurpose venue (sports, concerts, etc) that was initially built for the 1998 International Exibition held in Lisbon (Expo 98) and was first used in that same year. The arena's article contains a (not necessarily exaustive) list of concerts that took place at that venue. Some of the concerts listed predated the arena's construction, so those entries should be removed. I believe there is some confusion with another venue in Brasil, hence the incorrect entries, but I didn't confirm this.
