Tips- Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
- It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.
Happy editing! Cheers, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 18:12, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Dating style
[edit]Please, stop adding comma(,) in dmy dates, that is no grammatical correction. The standard style of dating on Wikipedia is "11 June 2023" (without the comma) for dmy dates which is used in Nigerian related articles, and "June 11, 2023" (with the comma) for mdy dates. Thank you. AbdulOlu (talk) 20:07, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
Nuance
[edit]Please note that disambiguation pages like Nuance are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:
- Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
- Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
- Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
- Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
- Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 12:07, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Nasarawa State
[edit]
Hello. Your recent edit to Nasarawa State appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Categories
[edit]Please note the following:
- Category:Nigerian film awards is for things that are film awards. It is not for things that are films that won or were nominated for awards, or actors or actresses who won or were nominated for awards — it is only for things that are awards. An article only goes in that category if it literally completes the sentence "[Article] is a film award", and does not go in that category if you have to insert even one other word into that sentence to make it make sense. And by the same token, "Nigerian [genre] films" categories are for things that are films, not things that are people who were involved in making films.
- Individual people do not go directly into "X by century", "X by occupation" or "X by populated place" categories at all — those are only containers for subcategories, not for individual people.
- A person does not go into Category:Nigerian filmmakers if they're already in Category:Nigerian film directors or Category:Nigerian film producers — those are both subcategories of filmmakers, so a person does not need to be in the filmmakers category if they're already in one of its subcategories. By the same token, an actress does not get added to Category:Nigerian actresses if she's already in other subcategories of that, an actor does not get added to Category:Nigerian actors if he's already in other subcategories of that, and on and so forth.
Please understand that we have rules about how articles are supposed to be categorized, which you need to follow. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 18:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- ok Thanks i will review the rules and correct my mistakes, moving forward. Umabruka (talk) 07:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
