Hello, Bemmax. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Nigerian Foreign Service Academy, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 06:06, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Olubukola Arowolo Verheijen when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Specifying |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= needs to be defined in the template in order to work. You can look at the documentation for the template being used, but it is also helpful to use the preview button before saving an edit; this helps find any errors that have been made and ensures that the values added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is highly recommended that editors use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions of if I can help explain further, please let me know! You can also contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 03:05, 7 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for pointing this out and for fixing the error. I appreciate the explanation. I’ll check the page history and use preview more carefully when making similar edits in the future.

Thanks again for your help. Bemmax (talk) 16:17, 7 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

My pleasure! Glad the explanation was helpful. Keep learning. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 19:54, 7 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, Bemmax, and thanks for all your interesting articles in connection with Nigeria. While recently reviewing some of them, I noticed you had created a detailed biography of Olubukola Arowolo Verheijen. If you intend to create more articles about Nigerian women, you might like to become a member of Wikiproject Women in Red where we are trying to improve Wikipedia's coverage of women. You can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:47, 13 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. I have signed up. I'll do my best. Bemmax (talk) 19:20, 13 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for signing up and welcome to the project. I see you have already created one more biography and hope there will be many more. In this connection, you might find it useful to look at the tips in our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:12, 14 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
