May 2020Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Nigerian Library Association, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful: Alternately, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics. If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 18:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC) A lengthy welcomeHi AfricanLibrarian. Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful. Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily. Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages. If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles. Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines. If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable. I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 22:49, 26 May 2020 (UTC) Your submission at Articles for creation: Kate Azuka Omenugha has been accepted Kate Azuka Omenugha, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

--Rosiestep (talk) 18:50, 26 July 2020 (UTC) via MassMessaging Problem with your custom signatureYou have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software. The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext. The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 05:12, 13 August 2020 (UTC) September Women in Red edithons

--Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:51, 30 April 2022 (UTC) via MassMessaging Mirrors Thanks for contributing to the article Jeillo Edwards. 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) 19:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
