[edit] S-L footballers
Consider formatting them nicely and including at least one reference per article, at least to prove existence. See what I did with Aluspah Brewah - crz crztalk 23:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] categories
Hi Sittaconde,
A bot to find new Africa articles just started up. As the user who started Special Court for Sierra Leone, I noticed that you were tackling some articles that had been redlinked for a long time. Great work! Please add categories to articles as well. Some people browse by category, so your work is invisible to those people. Cheers, BanyanTree 16:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] References
Hi Sittaconde, thanks for the great work you're doing with Sierra Leone! I'm only worried that your articles tend to be unsourced, verifiability is one of the five pillars of wikipedia. So please, add to the articles you create or expand the sources from which you take your info.--Aldux 22:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Using text from other websites
Hello. Thanks for your recent work adding articles about Sierra Leone. Unfortunately, some of them seem to be copied from other sites, such as http://www.trial-ch.org. Because this text is copyrighted we are not allowed to use it on Wikipedia. You can use these sites to write about the topic in your own words, but please don't simply paste in their text. Thanks. --Cherry blossom tree 13:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
