Please do not add or change content, as you did without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 17:10, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Please stop adding unsourced content. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. DrKay (talk) 16:27, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Lake Tanganyika. DrKay (talk) 15:17, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
@ DrKay Can you please stop being inconsistent with your editing at Lake Tanganyika, then why did you remove the citation from Cornell University about Lutunasobasoba.I cannot understand why you are removing my articles willy nilly with the source and then with the same breath, you are accusing me of citing unsourced materials, when I have made an attempt to do so. Also stop threatening to block me when I have been making all the effort to follow the rules. I am going to have this discussed at the Teahouse. Saqiwa (talk) 11:01, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
It is happening again on my contributions to Lake Tanganyika, can you please look at how DrKay continues to be inconsistent and selective with his editing. Perhaps, the intention is more than the rules of wikipedia but about suppressing the input contents to the article. Furthemore, he is threatening to block me when I have been making an effort to apply the rules, please refer to the editing history of Lake Tanganyika.Saqiwa (talk) 11:16, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Minor edits
- Please don’t mark your edits as “minor edits” unless they’re truly minor as explained in WP:MINOR. If you’re not sure whether your edit is minor, then you probably shouldn’t mark it as such. Almost all of your recent edits to the article wouldn’t be consider minor. —- Marchjuly (talk) 12:53, 20 September 2019 (UTC)]
- It seems as if you’re marking all of your edits as minor. Perhaps you’re doing this unintentionally, but you need to figure out why. Make sure the box “This is a minor edit” is not checked before you click “Publish changes”. — Marchjuly (talk) 13:03, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
Got you thanks, indeed it was unintentional, will refrain from marking "minor edits" next time. Saqiwa (talk) 13:16, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Saqiwa, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to
- 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.

The definition for Degei in the Cornell University Fijian-English dictionary is as follows; Degei n. founding ancestral spirit-god, immigrant to Fiji, who assumes the form of a giant snake living in the Nakauvadra mountains of Ra Province. He is harmless and usually rather indifferent to human affairs. Sometimes mentioned as being a younger brother of Lutunasobasoba, who led a fairly recent immigration hardly more than a few hundred years ago. There is sometime reference to Degei I and a later Degei II. The name derives from the snake flicking out its tongue. Legends tell of his pet fowl Turukawa being killed by the Ciri Twins at a place called Conua at the Nakauvadra Range, which brought on the Nakauvadra wars as a result of Degei’s anger. The Twins were exiled, and were swept away along the Wainibuka River, downstream in a flood from their refuge at village Narauyabe, village of Degei’s Tongan canoe-builder Rokola who was protecting them. That village had been successfully attacked by Vueti, from Verata, a champion for Degei. Vueti late became the first Roko Tui Bau, and founder of super-tribe Vusaratu of Kubuna Territory. Thunder has been attributed to Degei moving about in his Nakauvadra cave. Offerings were left at that cave.

Roko Malani link to Vunivalu of Bau article
I have added a paragraph or two on Roko Malani's article to the Vunivalu of Bau article as there was no initial link to the Vunivalu of Bau prior to my edition. I am reiterating my concern on the lack of clarity and incomplete information about these mentioned articles on wikipedia. Saqiwa (talk) 07:11, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Saqiwa. If you want to explain or clarify why you're making a particular edit to an article, then the best places to do that either (1) in an watching those articles than they are going to be watching your user talk page because any discussion related to the content of those articles is supposed to take place on their talk pages. You should always try to leave an edit summary whenever you edit because it aids others in understanding why the edit was made. It also helps if your edit summary includes a link to the relevant Wikipedia policy or guideline the edit is based upon, but this is not required. If you find that it's too hard to explain why an edit was made in just an edit summary, you can then further clarify by posting something on the article's talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:31, 8 October 2019 (UTC)]
Hey Saqiwa, I've started the draft article Draft:Roko Malani (1879–1933) and I'll help you with adding the disambiguation hatnote when the draft is moved to mainspace. The draft needs a bit of work before it is ready for mainspace, the article is very confusing and doesn't explain what this Roko Malani is notable for, it instead seems to only talk about geneology. Could you maybe turn the draft into a biographical article like our other encyclopedic articles are? Feel free to ping me if you need assistance. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:03, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

There is a real need to review editors and administrators for the inconsistencies and selective editing of my articles, the latest being the comments on Roko Malani (1879-1933).
If Thjarkur is denying the Draft:Roko Malani (1879–1933) article because of lack of independent source, then what about the wikipedia articles on the list of Fijian chiefs:
Kanakana, Ratu Epeli, Fijian chief (Tui Suva) Katonivere, Ratu Aisea, Tui Macuata (paramount chief of Macuata) Kadavulevu, Ratu Penaia, Vunivalu of Bau (1901–1914) Madraiwiwi, Ratu Joni (the First), chief (1859–1920) Nailatikau, Ratu Epeli (the First) (1842–1901), Vunivalu of Bau Niumataiwalu, founder of the Vuanirewa dynasty in the Lau Islands Rasolo, first Tui Nayau Rokocegu, Maculeku, Tui Dreketi Rokomatu, Adi Joana, Tui Sigatoka Sovasova, Ratu Jovesa, Tui Vitogo (1942–2005) Tupou, Ratu Taliai, Tui Nayau (d. 1875) Tarau of Tovu Totoya, Fijian chieftainess Udre Udre, Ratu, 19th century cannibal Ulugalala, Alifereti Finau, Tui Nayau (d. 1934) Visawaqa, Ratu Tanoa, Vunivalu of Bau (1800s) Uluilakeba I, successor to Rasolo (q.v.) as Tui Nayau, but not so installed

Thjarkur This is really an abuse of power in editing privilege. There is really evidence of selective editing in keeping similar sourced materials in Roko Malani compared to my articles including the Roko Malani article 1879-1933. Wikipedia should be aware that this is happening and the reputation of wikipedia is at stake.Saqiwa (talk) 03:18, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
I will continue to reiterate the selective editing that I have observed so far. The latest incident proves my point that while the original Roko Malani article has been kept and approved, my Other Roko Malani additions have been taken out with more quoted sourced materials than the original Roko Malani article. Even the quotations (1) and (2) for Roko Malani were added by me- Saqiwa and surprisingly approved by Thjarkur (talk). Yet along the same article, when the additions to other Roko Malani were listed with similar quoted materials, it was unfairly taken out.Saqiwa (talk) 07:34, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
Take your dog for a walk
Hi Saqiwa. I really suggest that you slow down at Wikipedia community start to thinking whether the positive aspects of their editing outweigh any negative aspects of their editing, and editors who seem to be more of a negative than a positive often don't last for too long. I'm sure you're quite knowledgeable on things related to Fiji and I'm sure you are passionate about Fiji, but you need to figure out how to use that knowledge and passion in a way that's in accordance with relevant Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:29, 15 October 2019 (UTC)]

Hi there- this is about your edits in [Nakorotubu District]. Please read [WP:Circular]- it expressly says you shouldn't be using other Wikipedia articles as references.

Article talkpages
Hi there. Just in case you didnt realise, editors are not supposed to reformat or remove posts from article talkpages, like you did here [2] (even if it is your own post). If you decide you have changed your mind about something, you can strike out the text using <s>...</s>
which draws a line through the text, and add an appropriate edit summary, but you should never delete it, especially if other editors have responded to the posts. Curdle (talk) 12:40, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
