Speedy deletion nomination of Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy

A tag has been placed on Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion of "Chukuka Enwemeka"

A page you created, Chukuka Enwemeka, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. SchnitzelMannGreek. 02:33, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Joseph Abiodun Balogun

Hello. I have deleted this article that you recreated because it was substantially similar to the version previously deleted because it was written by a blocked editor. It was obvious that you had not written the text yourself and you are not allowed to repost content created by blocked users. You are welcome to recreate the article, but you must write the article yourself. Regards SmartSE (talk) 12:51, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

@Smartse: Dear SmartSE. I am sorry that you had to delete the JA Balogun page, due to an unfortunate circumstance of initially contracting a banned user for coding the original wiki page. I am a Nigerian Educated physical therapist, and currently a professor of physical therapy residing here in the USA. I am also the Executive Director of the Nigeria Physiotherapy Network. I initiated the Preserving the History of Nigeria Physiotherapy Wiki project in 2008/2009 in order to bring attention to remarkable events and information, about the profession of physiotherapy and notable Nigerian physiotherapists. Some of the pages related to this project include:

• Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy
• Physical Therapy Education in Nigeria
• Arinola Olasumbo Sanya

The JA Balogun page was part of this project. But because I have been unavailable to upload to Wiki myself, the JA Balogun content was contracted to someone to code for Wiki for us. Unfortunately, we did not do our due diligence before contracting the Wiki coder, and therefore we got to learn afterwards that the wiki user we contracted, to was a banned user. That was the reason why I found time out of my busy schedule to do the page myself. But before I did, I contacted Wiki foundation to know why the page was deleted initially, that was when I was informed that we worked with a banned user. I asked if I can recreate the page, I was told by the foundation in an email that I can, as long as the banned user no longer has a part in the project. This is why I recreated the JA Balogun page. I am therefore seeking your support to get this page back up, as it is an import part of our Wikipedia project to Preserve the History and achievement of Physiotherapy profession in Nigeria and its professionals at home and the diaspora. You can read more about me at http://www.ebjohn.net, so that you can know that I am not part of a phoney wiki scam, but rather committed to the Nigeria Physiotherapy Wikipedia project. Please advise on the best way forward. Thanks, Wisdomci

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. You removed the article from Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy from Category:Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy. Since the page clearly belongs in that category (so long as the category exists), that was disruptive.
You also removed the CFD notice from Category:Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy ... even thuogh there is a clear warning not to do so. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:47, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Mandatory paid editing disclosure

Hello Wisdomci. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Wisdomci. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Wisdomci|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:35, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Dear Anachronist,

I am not a paid advocacy for the topic. I am not paid to do the edit, neither do I have any financial interest whatsoever. There is absolutely nothing hidden, and no financial disclosure to make. Therefore, your supposition is incorrect. I am only interested in promoting the biography of Nigerian educated physiotherapists on Wikipedia. I myself, I am a professor of physical therapy, and I already promote this through my work as Executive Director (non-paid) of the Nigeria Physiotherapy Network (www.nigeriaphysio.net), where I have promoted each of these eminent and distinguished colleagues for decades. However, we launched the Wikipedia Project to extend the knowledge and readership through the avenues of wikipedia. This is therefore not a paid advocacy or any sort you have suggested here. I therefore state here without equivocation that I am not being paid directly or indirectly for working on this article.

Please advise, accordingly.
