January 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Okayplayer has been reverted.
Your edit here to Okayplayer was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/okayplayer) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 05:48, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about The Love (album)

Hello, Okpdan, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Idoghor Melody, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, The Love (album), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Love (album).

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Idoghor Melody}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Okpdan (talk) 01:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)Hello Idoghor Melody, great to hear from you. Kid Capri is a pioneer and an icon in the Hip-Hop community and his wiki page is inaccurate and incomplete. He released a full length album earlier this year in February, 2022. This album was featured by prestigious online publications Complex, The Source, Vibe Magazine, Bandcamp, and more. I included annotations to three of those articles to show that this album is of public interest. However, should the article wind up not meeting guidelines, I think merging it into the artist's main article or discography article works well, too.[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: King Willonius (Comedian) (September 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:King Willonius (Comedian) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The Time piece is sponsored content (not written by Time staff) and Billboard is mostly based on what he says.

Hey there. That is incorrect. Andrew R. Chow is a technology correspondent at TIME. His writing covers crypto, AI, tech regulation, and culture and he has published 451 articles on Time since 2017. Okpdan (talk) 19:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's sponsored by the Northern Data Group. S0091 (talk) 20:02, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like Billboard sold a presenting status for this story to Northern Data Group, making it ad supported (like all their content) by a single sponsor. This would not suggest the content is "paid for" and the writer Andrew R. Chow is a staff writer for the Times, unlike what you suggest above. I have included more sources and citation for this article. Okpdan (talk) 20:56, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
