Welcome to Wikidata, Ojewuyib!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Best regards! Bovlb (talk) 03:18, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Notability

Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item that does not clearly indicate its notability. The Wikidata project only accepts items that meet its notability criteria, and your item is therefore likely to be deleted soon. In brief, items must have an associated Wikipedia article, must be needed for statements on another notable item, or must have both identifiers and serious sources. For the last case, a good indication of notability would be multiple articles about the subject in independent publications like newspapers or magazines. You can add such sources as references to specific claims using reference URL (P854), or as top-level claims using described at URL (P973).

Also, this may not apply in this specific case, but you should know that we discourage editors from self-promotion, contributing on topics with which they have a strong personal connection, as this may present a conflict of interest. If you are being paid to edit here, then you are obliged to disclose this. For a longer version, you might find it useful to read the essay "How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted".  Bovlb (talk) 03:18, 2 May 2026 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 03:18, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Do you think you will be able to fix these items? Bovlb (talk) 03:57, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

@Bovlb Thank you very much for your work. I have worked on the first set of observation but I tried to look for reliable sources for the remaining six items but could not get one. I created most of them when I joined the project three years ago using the FULAFIA staff's website. So, I think I would not be able to fix them and I would be glad if they can be deleted. Thank you.

We have identified a notability-related issue involving an editor who is registered for one of your events. It is not clear whether the edits in question are related to this event, but we are reaching out because facilitator follow-up is often the most effective way to address these situations.

In particular, it would be helpful to ensure that participants understand a few basic expectations for contributing to Wikidata:

• New items should satisfy notability requirements at the time they are created, so that they can be maintained by the community.
• New contributors are generally most successful when they begin by improving existing items rather than creating large numbers of new ones. Activities such as item creation campaigns, bulk creation, and other high-volume workflows require experience and appropriate supervision. See "Quality before quantity" for more.
• Feedback, including warnings, deletion discussions, and requests for improvement, is a normal part of Wikidata's review process. Contributors are expected to read and respond to messages concerning their edits.

Events that emphasize these expectations early tend to be more successful both in helping the project and in providing participants with a positive editing experience.

Thank you for your help in following up with participants and supporting productive contributions.

Thanks very much for following up in this way, @Bovlb. This wasn't an event in which I was involved (the edits seem to have been in 2023), but this year I've been involved in providing Wikidata trainiing for the meta:The AfroDemics Project. If anyone would like help improving the quality of Wikidata entries for African academics, then feel free to ping me for help. Dsp13 (talk) 19:01, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Descriptions

Hello, I'm Bovlb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent description edits to Q138774569 didn't meet the Wikidata description guidelines. Descriptions should appear as though they were in the middle of a sentence, typically start with a lowercase letter, and written from a neutral point of view. For example, "pop singer" would be a better description than "He is the best pop singer." If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Bovlb (talk) 03:19, 2 May 2026 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 03:19, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
