Hello sorry if I didn’t leave a reason well the reason is the article is poorly sourced I also was talking to another editor about it the sites which they took those histories from which I removed are sites that spreads misinformation like the current edit on the Warri page I plead that you remove all I have removed and make edit based on legit sources and not fake sites and history without source Repair it (talk) 01:21, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, 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 Kingdom of Warri, 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 the Teahouse, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.
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) 22:24, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added references from where I got it from not from a website but from the book in google book I can also refer you to go there and see it yourself it was quoted from the book not a website the website you attached is the one who copied it from that book because everything I got was directly from the book and I cite it properly by including the name of the author the page of the passage I got the reference from google books Warfare in Atlantic Africa, 1500-1800
Regardless of whether you got it from a book or a website, it's not okay to copy someone else's prose into Wikipedia. It's a violation of our copyright policy to do so. — Diannaa (talk) 15:30, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I changed the size because the image was too small for people to point out locations and details in the pictures so I had to resize it as I saw the instructions in the Wikipedia page of image size I just followed the instructions there to make the edits you can help make it better if I didn’t do it properly Repair it (talk) 21:25, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Repair it. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Okere Community, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Your edit to Warri State 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. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. 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. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Hello there must be some mistake that wasn't a copy right I own the original document which it is taken from to be added I am part of the group that submitted it to the National Assembly of Nigeria Repair it (talk) 22:47, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you own the copyright to the document (and not just the document, but the copyright), then you'll have to follow the instructions linked above at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials in order for it to be ok to include in Wikipedia.
However, given that you have now stated you are part of the group this article is about, could you please read the instructions at WP:COI and WP:SELFCITE? Editors with conflicts of interests relating to a particular article are required to disclose that prior to editing, and are strongly encouraged to make their edits as drafts and submit them through the articles through creation process. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:57, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you I will follow the process to establish the copyright but want to clarify I work for the assembly I do not have conflict of interest. Repair it (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is (redacted). i don’t know how safe it is to be sharing my IP address but can’t just block me for no reason I don’t use VPN. Repair it (talk) 01:31, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Decline reason:
I have removed your IP address. If you wish you may use WP:UTRS to make a private unblock request. I can say that the IP you gave is a proxy under a checkuser block due to extensive spamming. When you make your private unblock request on UTRS you will need to explain why you might be using an IP that is the source of such extensive disruption. 331dot (talk) 05:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
