June 2017

Hello, I'm Oluwa2Chainz. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Godwin Obaseki seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 13:41, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Welcome! and Take note

Hello, Debravura, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, just as indicated earlier by the Nigerian pro-editor; Oluwa2Chainz, your edit to Godwin Obaseki 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 New contributors' help 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:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Celestina007 (talk) 19:36, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Debravura, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Godwin Obaseki have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:40, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

GODWIN OBASEKI

Hello Oluwa2Chainz, Thank you for your response.

Kindly check his official website which i believe can not be wrong, it is written there that he was born July 1, 1957 Kindly check the following link on his website to confirm http://www.godwinobaseki.com/about/

In a statement published on his official website one week ago indicated he is 60 and not 58 as available on Wikipedia

I also checked his official facebook page biography and it also read July 1, 1957 https://www.facebook.com/godwinobasekiofficial

The Chief Press Secretary, Mr. John Mayaki has also issued a statement via his official facebook account to clear the air about this information. The source of this information is in the link below https://web.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1797057907271300&id=100009013250057

Also this link below to confirm the date of birth of Godwin Obaseki. http://bloomshire.com.ng/2017/07/02/revealed-obasekis-true-age-is-60-not-58/

Take your time to check through all the sources and verify the information on Wikipedia is not accurate. These sources are also verifiable and you can make use of the information published on the news website bloomshire.com.ng to understand all advert done for Godwin Obeseki followed the information posted on Wikipedia.

I look forward to seeing your reply soon.

Cheers!
