[edit] Welcome!

Ẹ k'ãsǎn, Aadebayo! Judging from your name, you're a speaker of Yorùbá. Have you ever thought about contributing to the Yorùbá Wikipedia at http://yo.wikipedia.org? It's still very much in its infancy, but if you feel like giving it a try, please contact me on my talk page. Or maybe you know other Yorubas who would be willing to write articles in Yoruba. With over 22 million speakers, Yoruba is a huge language and I keep thinking that it must be possible to get a Yoruba version of Wikipedia going. Anyway, nice to meet you, and happy editing! — mark ✎ 20:13, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:AbujaAirportFroontsmall.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AbujaAirportFroontsmall.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 17:27, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyright released by ...

You removed the "no license" tag from a couple of images and added "copyright released by so-and-so" instead (still failing to add a valid copyright tag by the way). Could you please provide some more information on the nature of this release. Such as a copy or link to the statement from the copyright holder to prove that the images are indeed free to use for any purpose (or whatever license terms they agreed to). As of right now the images still don't have enough informatino to be kept, so please add this information ASAP. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 21:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Really great picture--do you have a larger version?

I noticed that you uploaded LagosIsland.jpg; from the description, it looks like you made it as well. Do you have a larger version of this? It's a really great shot, and I'd like to nominate it for Featured status if it were larger. grendel|khan 02:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 419 scam

Aadebayo, do not even bother removing the 419 scam mention in Lagos. We will revert that EVERY time. WhisperToMe 06:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I WILL BLOCK YOU IF YOU REMOVE THE SECTION AGAIN! WhisperToMe 22:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for trying to improve the section :)

I did remove "The contributor of this section is from a place where it is the norm for people to be killed because they are black, yet I do not see any reference to that point in his city" - Comments are to be made on talk pages.

The phrase seems to apply more to American big cities in general, while in Nigeria scamming tends to be done in specific areas in Lagos, Ibadan, and various places in the Igboland.

If you wish to talk to me, please add an entry at User talk:WhisperToMe - Click edit and type :) WhisperToMe 19:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
