Kãbò!

edit

Welcome, Osomalo! Thank you for your contributions on Yoruba-related topics; they are very helpful and knowledgeable. I especially like the fact that you take the trouble to source most of them (as you do in this edit), because many newcomers who are not familiar with Wikipedia's policies on reliable sources and verifiability do not automatically do that. Since you're new to Wikipedia, I thought I'd provide you with a few good links for newcomers:

Also, judging from your contributions, I thought you might be interested in the Africa-related regional notice board ; and probably in WikiProject Countering Systemic Bias, too. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~); it produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Kind regards, — mark 07:46, 22 August 2006 (UTC)Reply


Thanks for the warm welcome and the kind words. I had actually made some substantial changes to the Yoruba page sometime last year (I believe I created the 'precolonial social organization' section and edited some of the mythology stuff) but I didn't have an account then. I'm also an amateur anthropologist, so I'm not fond of unsourced statements myself. I look forward to talking to you again soon. Osomalo 15:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Still great

Thanks once again for expansions like Ketu (Benin) and merciless edits like this one! Fringe theories and pieces of amateurish writing oftentimes go unnoticed far too long, especially in areas where fewer editors are active. Please know that your work in reducing the clutter and improving the real information is much appreciated. Keep it up! — mark 18:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
