User talk:Ukabia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, Ukabia, and welcome to Wikipedia. In this edit, you changed the amount of people who speak Igbo; do you have a source for this new statistic? Picaroon (t) 18:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] images

You have uploaded several images today [1]. Although the items in the photographs are very old, U.S. copyright law also grants copyright to the photographer. Therefore it cannot be asserted that the images are public domain without additional information. I have sent an email to the professor whose website is listed on the images; I hope to clarify the licenses. In the meantime, please don't upload more of these until the license is clear. Thank you. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nri Kingdom

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Nri Kingdom, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://essays.igbonet.com/EzeNriNriEnwelanaIIObidiegwuOnyeso/1005thIguAroNdIgbo/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 23:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Igbo-Ukwu

Hello Ukabia, I noticed your contributions to the Igbo-Ukwu article. Do you speak Igbo, and if you do, can you translate that article for the Igbo wikipedia article, here: ig:Igbo-ukwu? Thank you. -- Kerowren (talk • contribs • count) 21:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of Ogene

A tag has been placed on Ogene requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. –King Bee (τ • γ) 15:38, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
