Lead section citations[edit]
Hello Adeola.ipadeola -- I hope you're doing well today. I noticed that you added a citation to the lead/introduction section of the Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti article as part of #AfLibWk. I'm glad to see you're working on citation improvements for articles, but I wanted to bring your attention to the Wikipedia Manual of Style page on LEAD CITATIONS. Because the lead section's purpose is to summarize the important parts of the whole article (thus repeating most or all of its information), the only items in the lead that really need inline citations are (1) new info that doesn't appear anywhere else in the article, (2) direct quotations, and (3) contentious info that might be challenged by others. Most leads don't include many citations (if any), and that's generally to be expected -- it's more important to make sure the info in the lead has already been properly cited in the main sections of the article. If you have any questions about this, please let me know, and I'll do my best to help. All the best, Alanna the Brave (talk) 16:27, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Mirrors[edit]
Thanks for contributing to the article Modupe Ozolua . However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. Kuru (talk) 18:06, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
