Hello, I'm Viewmont Viking. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --VViking_TalkEdits 14:33, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello MER-C, thank you for your time and the work you do in making Wikipedia what it is today. I understand that without people like you Wikipedia can't be a popular and credible encyclopedia that it is today. I wish to kindly inform you that I have been editing Wikipedia for some time now without a registered account and that means that I edit with my IP address. I have contributed to a number of Nigeria related articles. This is because I have been nervous about creating an account and how to maintain it because I do not have a personal device (computer or a smartphone) with which I can edit regularly. The device I use to edit is a work place computer and a tablet which are for general office use.

However I created a Wikipedia account about three weeks ago on an office computer after much thought. I Did my first ten edits. It was an exciting experience for me because it would add to my Wikipedia profile. And I took it further to create an article but the three articles I had originally planned to create did not have much secondary sources so I dropped them all. Eventually I chanced upon a topic which I have no special interest in while I was watching a TV program and decided to work on it as my first article. And all I know about the subject was from the secondary sources. and I developed the article. I had spent days learning about "my first article" on Wikipedia before creating that article. I was still working on the article when I was sent on a five-day assignment. However, while I was away from the office computer I had my account logged in on a friend's phone so I could have access to the new article. I was so excited about it that I kept checking the article at every opportunity to know the process it follows before it goes live. A number of editors worked on it to improve it. I never touched the article since then to allow the senior editors to do their work and to avoid being tagged “conflict of interest” . And very unfortunate for me, I could not edit Wikipedia on a borrowed phone. But to my greatest surprise you blocked me, deleted the first ever article I created accusing me of DUBIOUS motivation saying it’s promotional or advertising. It's so sad that I couldn't contribute to Wikipedia because I can't afford a personal device. My account name is Rafimani and the article you deleted is Mediacraft Associates But thank you for blocking me and deleting the article. And may God or whatever you believe in bless you. Kind regards.

What did I do wrong?

Hello, thank you all for your time and the work you do in making Wikipedia what it is today.
