May/June 2020[edit]
Hello, I'm Prahlad balaji. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Oluwaseun Osowobi, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLADbalaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 23:24, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
One of your recent additions has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing.

Sockpuppetry Warning[edit]
Hello, Armanoid, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Celestina007 (talk) 22:29, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Undisclosed paid editing warning[edit]
Hello Armanoid. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Kayode Ajulo, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Armanoid. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Armanoid|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Celestina007 (talk) 22:37, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi User talk:Celestina007, I did not receive any payment for this article and I was not employed to write this article page. I currently work as a legal Intern at Law firm in Lagos where I stumbled on Kayode Ajulo's profile while reading a law report. Upon further research discovered that he had no extant Wikipedia page. I decided to take it upon myself to create one and discovered that the page had been deleted before now as a result of the dearth in reference. I then proceeded to take work on the deleted content, added new sources and rewrote it to be published as my first published article page. I was not paid and I have not asked for any payment with regards to this write-up. I only wrote it as a result of my proximity to the field of practice and to hone my editing skills on wikipedia.

- I’m not going to say this again as I am consciously trying to AGF but please just stop, If you continue making dubious edits then I’m going to report you to WP:ANI where I’d initiate a proposal to see you topic banned from BLP's or ask for an indefinite block. Celestina007 (talk) 23:28, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- User:Celestina007 For clarity purposes, by "dubious edits" you mean the article page I created or some other edits? Also, I am not affiliated with any other user account on Wikipedia neither do I have more than one account. Like I admitted earlier while trying to create the page, I read the reason for the deletion of the first account and I saw that it was the dearth of references and the nature of the article (which looked like a CV as stated by the user who deleted the first page) that led to its deletion. I, therefore, sought to improve on the already existing article by pruning out the irrelevant bits while adding enough references to give it credence. If that is what makes me a sockpuppet (because I lifted from the earlier deleted work) I tender my unreserved apology and would ensure that this doesn't happen again. But, if that is not the case, I do not see any reason that would warrant my account being classified as such. I hold the values of this platform highly and would not engage in any activities that would jeopardize my access. it is therefore surprising that my first attempt at editing an article page (which it would seem I have done erroneously) would summarily warrant the tag a sockpuppet.

- okay what you are saying is you have no problems explaining how this file is listed as your own work? yet you claim no COI? Do you see how improbable that is? Celestina007 (talk)
How can that be improbable?? the last time the article was edited was in 2018. this is 2021. I edited the article because of the reasons I earlier mentioned. Its improbability is not an evidence of sock puppetry and I do not have a problem with listing it as my own work. He is a well known person in my field of practice.

Welcome![edit]
Hello, Armanoid, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:
