@Ammarpad

I am grateful for the way you are trying to see that Hausa Wikipedia has progressed in various aspects. God willing, we will also do our best to create new articles and improve the articles we have by updating them if there is a need for that and correcting them for improvement.

Thank you Bajoga2021 (talk) 13:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Welcome[edit]

Hello there! I noticed that you're a new Wikipedian and I wanted to extend a warm welcome to the community. It's always great to see new contributors join us!

I also noticed that we share a common interest in editing topics related to Niger. I am from Ghana but my roots are Niger, which is why I have taken a keen interest in contributing to the Niger Wikipedia pages. I have created several pages related to Niger and would be happy if you could check them out on my user page and make any necessary corrections.

It would be great to connect with you and collaborate on future edits related to Niger. Let me know if you're interested in working together! Best regards. Ibdawud (talk) 20:00, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

@Ibdawud

I am very happy with the way this message is presented and I am letting you know that I agree to collaborate with you to advance Wikipedia in different ways.

Best regards. Bajoga2021 (talk) 08:22, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Abbas Umar Masanawa (April 18)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Greenman was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Abbas Umar Masanawa and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Bajoga2021! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! Greenman (talk) 14:08, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
