Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Cavendish University Zambia. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 23:41, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Joseph R Sumaili, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to

issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double
  inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners
  , for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is
  Wikipedia:Copy-paste
  .
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moneytrees🌴^{Talk🌲Help out at CCI!} 21:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks but do i have to site everything or you just want to make me lose my editing abilities. Let's say you're

Yesterday i edited about Hakahinde Hichilema HH i added '''Bally''' since everyone is calling him that nowadays and it's a fact you removed you needed more sources for what? When i had even quoted one already Joseph R Sumaili (talk) 22:16, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joseph. Yes, something like that definitely needs a citation and you didn't include one here which is why I reverted your addition. The nickname is not common knowledge like, for example, "water is wet". Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 22:27, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Chreso University requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hi Joseph R Sumaili - to take your article out of the firing line while you work on it I've moved it to draft space, and it is now at

Draft:Chreso University. Once you're happy that it's ready - bearing in mind the contents of Help:Your first article and Wikipedia:Notability, particularly the importance of independent references - it is easy to submit it for consideration. Ingratis (talk) 00:47, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

A tag has been placed on Joseph Sumaili, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See
  Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations
  for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See
  section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable
  .

A tag has been placed on Joseph Sumaili requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

This page focus on this zambian user

In user page, it works as an introduction to you as a user. In draft space, it implies that you, as a person, are advertising your services. I've removed the deletion tag in conjunction with the move. —C.Fred (talk) 20:16, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning: if you continue to add Michael Lwandi Kaingu to articles, you are likely to get blocked. Looking at your draft, this seems to be somewhat based on the real Michael Liwanga Kaingu, but with nearly all details wrong (middle name, year of birth, all positions he held, his predecessors and successors in these positions, ...).
