I have received your email, asking why I deleted the article 1010 Coding. Messages and discussions relating to editing Wikipedia should normally take place on Wikipedia, with email usually being appropriate only if there is information which needs to be kept confidential, which does not apply in this case, so I am replying here.

I don't know what further clarification of the deletion reasons you need, beyond what is given in the message above and the deletion log (which presumably you must have seen, as otherwise you wouldn't know that I did the deletion). However, here are some comments about the two reasons for deletion which you have been told about. I hope these comments may help to clarify whatever aspect of those reasons isn't already clear to you.

  1. It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. In this case there can be absolutely no question whatever of accepting the material which you copied, as the copyright terms of the website from which the material was copied are nowhere near compatible with Wikipedia's licensing terms. The website's terms and conditions say "We reserve all rights that are not expressly granted to you under these Terms & Conditions", and nowhere in those terms and conditions is there anything expressly granting rights to freely reuse the material.
  2. A Wikipedia article needs to be written from a neutral point of view. The page you posted was written from nothing like a neutral point of view, being unambiguously written to promote "1010 Coding". It was full from start to finish with marketing language; to quote just one example, "students develop the creativity, confidence, and grit required to become future 1010 instructors and tomorrow’s leaders". There is no place whatever for that kind of promotional or marketing material anywhere on Wikipedia. JBW (talk) 16:56, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Nolp.nigeria. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. JBW (talk) 17:26, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply


The new version of the page which you recently created was no less promotional than the earlier version; if anything it was more so. It was also substantially copied from the same web site as before. Copyright infringement is not avoided by making trivial changes to the wording, such as replacing "not many schools in Nigeria teach coding" with "few schools in Nigeria teach coding", replacing "well rounded, independent, free thinking and widely exposed individuals" with "well-rounded, independent, free-thinking, and exposed individuals", and so on. Furthermore, the latest version gave strong confirmation to the previous impression that your editing is subject to Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest and the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use on paid editing. Please make sure that you comply with those requirements in any future editing you may do. If you fail to do so, you may be blocked from editing by an administrator.
