[edit] Welcome
Hi Ankimai. You've been here for a while - only about 9 days less than me, in fact - so I don't suppose you'll need it, but I'd like to welcome you to Wikipedia anyways. You've been popping up in my watchlist a lot lately, seeing as we both focus on Nigeria related articles. Are you aware of WikiProject Nigeria, a wikiproject dedicated to maintaining Nigeria related topics? We'd love it if you'd join, although, of course, it isn't required. Anyways, happy editing!

- Did I ever reply to this message? No, I didn't. I beg your pardon. I appreciate your work. --Ankimai (talk) 13:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] No summary deletions
Your characterization of other users' edits as "vandalism" is unwarranted and unjustified. Moreover, your summary deletions are themselves advancing non-neutral POV, which is even more unacceptable considering that you have no knowledge or experience in the subject matter that you are editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.250.146 (talk • contribs) 00:12, March 22 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help needed on Amir Taheri
Help needed on Amir Taheri—identical reverts by three anons. Ref: WP:AN3 report. (Asked here also.) — Athænara ✉ 07:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ankimai
I see you are following around users and unilaterally reverting all of their edits as you see fit, no matter if they are sourced or not. I recommend you stop this practice or else you will simply end up getting all the entries "protected" and render them uneditable indefinitely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.182.35.241 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User:75.26.157.62
I thought I'd let you know, it seems 75.26.157.62 has something against you. Probably a sockpuppet of some kind. Someguy1221 00:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] re Amir Taheri
I have issued short blocks on the two editors you are warring with on the above article, and undid the last edit by them. Please note that reverting edits, other than blatant vandalism (this being a POV/Content dispute), is not appropriate. As I note that you have attempted to discuss the matter on the article talkpage I am issuing you with a warning only. If there are further instances of edit warring by the other parties, take it to the Admins noticeboard (incidents) page but do not revert the article.
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Amir Taheri. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.

[edit] Crime in Lagos
Hey, add the section for crime in Lagos - A lot of cities have crime sections... WhisperToMe (talk) 04:28, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, almost no other country or city pages have crime sections.
- Please note that Whispers comments, originate from an ongoing content dispute on the Nigeria talk page regarding Advance fee fraud's relevance to the Nigerian economy. Ajisekanla (talk) 11:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps some sort of Law and order section would be good. Who's in control of what? How does a city (or country) work? I'd like to read (but am not able to write) a section on Lagos institutions and organizations (police, LASTMA, EFCC, NURTW etc) on the one hand and on the problems they have to cope with (robbery, area boys, wonder banks, clashes at motor parks and so on) on the other hand.
- Regarding the 419ers, I agree with Ajisekanla. I doubt whether they are that relevant. They're neither peculiar to Lagos nor to Nigeria. According to the Economist the scam business has been outsourced to South Africa years ago already (Go south, con man, August 14, 2004 edition). The legend lives on, obviously, and Nigerian authorities may now and then still stage raids on some "shady cybercafes" in Festac town to live up to the expectations of foreign camera teams - but in my opinion it's the myth they combat, not a real menace.--Ankimai (talk) 01:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rollback
Would you like the rollback tool? It's quicker than the undo function. Picaroon (t) 23:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- I would like to give it a try, yes, thank you. --Ankimai (talk) 12:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've added it to your account. Just remember, the point is for quick reversion of vandalism and spam - if you accidentally hit rollback to revert an edit where the reason is not self-explanatory, you can make a dummy edit in the page history noting this. Picaroon (t) 03:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] edit war Amir Taheri
I think your efforts to create an edit war with me on Amir Taheri is unproductive--Babakexorramdin (talk) 08:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please see this note on Bab's talk page. I think we ought to leave the information out of the article until we can work something out on the talk page. Ursasapien (talk) 09:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
