Femi Otedola
Hi Wikicology, I hope you're well. I've been working on a user space draft (see here) which aims to address the issues currently affecting Femi Otedola. The current article has a few problems and is very limited, as it's confined to his Forbes listing and Zenon Petroleum and Gas, and includes nothing on African Petroleum and its rebrand to Forte Oil Plc, which is of course now by far his main business interest. A very large part of the article is completely unreferenced. My draft attempts to fill in those gaps and bring it all up to date, and also includes some of his other investments – in insurance, shipping and real estate – and his role at Transcorp. It is balanced and thoroughly referenced, and adds a couple more international titles in Reuters and BBC. If you have time to take a look at it and see whether it might serve as a good replacement for the current article, that would be much appreciated. As stated on my user page, I have a COI in that Femi Otedola is my client. Many thanks. HOgilvy (talk) 17:29, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hi HOgilvy, please accept my sincere apology for the extremely slow response, I've been busy with wikimedia community work. There is no doubt that the new version is more better than the former one but you never mention the case involving him and Farouk Lawan. I found this, this, this, this to mention few. There are multiple reliable sources to write a comprehensive section on the scandal. What do you think? Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 22:37, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) The BBC reported "Mr Otedola is a close ally of President Goodluck Jonathan and a major financier of the ruling People's Democratic Party." and there is more info here and presumably further sources are available that should be included. @HOgilvy: please explain why the bribery was omitted in your draft. SmartSE (talk) 23:27, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Wikicology, hi SmartSE, I did include a paragraph on Farouk Lawan – at the bottom of the 'Zenon Petroleum and Gas' subsection. The sources you've linked to here are consistent with it: Zenon was on the list of companies under investigation (I also included the sum it was alleged to have owed), it emerged that a bribe allegedly took place and that it was filmed, and it was then reported that Femi Otedola had been acting with police in a sting operation – both the Sahara Reporters and Bella Naija sources you've linked to include these two paragraphs:
- The police also confirmed that the SSS worked with Mr. Otedola to videotape the bribe and also snooped on several phone conversation between the Zenon executive and the legislator.
- Police sources said that they believed Mr. Farouk contacted them to report that he was in possession of bribe money only after he realized that the currencies were marked. “I think he did it to save face,” said one police source.
- The Premium Times source you've linked doesn't seem to be dated but it may be slightly earlier as it doesn't report that police confirmation, only Otedola's claim – which appears from the other two sources to have been confirmed by the police – that he was acting with the SSS. The Premium Times also doesn't have the detail that police believed that Lawan, having initially denied he took a bribe, subsequently changed his story. Lawan was charged, as I've also included, but I can't find a source mentioning any conclusion to those proceedings. No proceedings were brought against Otedola.

DYK nomination of Isaac Folorunso Adewole
Hello! Your submission of Isaac Folorunso Adewole at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 00:35, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
Thank you Wikic¤l¤gy for the kind review and I have copied the link CITSTRUCT for future guidance. Please note that the city of Kozhikode has three kinds of boundaries: those decided by the local body, the district administration and the provincial government. The popular conception of city boundary can vary from all this. The eastern parts of the city are considered as part of the city by everyone but they have separate panchayat raj administrations of their own. Since creating separate articles for them can be confusing because of overlapping boundaries, merging them into a single article called ‘’’Kozhikode East’’ wil make more sense.

- Prof tpms, I can't remember raising any concern about the city's boundaries. I only pointed you to the guidelines on writing about Indian cities which you are expected to follow in tidying up Kozhikode East. I will be glad to seeing improvement to Kozhikode East based on the advise. Please always ensure to start a new topic under a new heading. see WP:TP for how to use talk page. You may also want to read WP:Indentation for how to respond to comments on talk pages. Let me know if you require any further information. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 11:05, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, Wikic¤l¤gy the tidying up process is on the way. Just give me a few days' time.

Yoruba Wiki help
Hi! I'll be happy to give a helping hand!
Quite a few Naija guys are in Houston (my hometown) because of the oil industry. You can even get great suya! (ah, that topic doesn't yet have a Yoruba wiki article)
Do you want info on any Nigerian organizations in Houston and Dallas (yes, there are Nigerians in Dallas as well)? Maybe they would be interested in helping? WhisperToMe (talk) 19:18, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- WhisperToMe, thanks for your willingness to help. I intend to give more attention to yoruba wiki, this year. Can you link me up? I'll be glad to connect with some of those guyz. You are free to send me a mail if need be. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 19:31, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
Here are some organization contacts:
- National Association of Yoruba Descendants in North America: http://yorubanation.us/contact-us/
- Nigerian American Council of Houston: http://namchouston.org/?page_id=99
- Nigerian Student Association at the University of Houston: https://uh.collegiatelink.net/organization/nsa/about
- Igbo Association of Dallas: http://www.icandfw.com/contact-us.html
- Dallas Owerri: http://umuowerri.org/contact.php
If you have Skype phone credit you may try to contact the Yoruba Omo Oduduwa, Inc., which has its phone number here http://africanvillage.com/directory/organization.html WhisperToMe (talk) 19:43, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! I will get in touch with the organizations by next week. I will appreciate any further help. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 19:55, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
This seems questionably notable and unlikely to solidly satisfying the applicable notability as the best my searches found were only a few links here and there using "Mayen Ngor Atem South Sudan politician" at Books (found nothing), News & browsers & Highbeam (all a few links). SwisterTwister talk 02:19, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- SwisterTwister, he appears to meet WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN#1 as Minister for Agriculture and Forestry. Also per WP:POLOUTCOMES, elected and appointed political figures at the national cabinet level are generally regarded as notable. Hope you're enjoying your holiday? Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 06:54, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- What about Saba Saba? As the best I found was only this and this (others links were mostly the expected music websites and blogs). I haven't searched any further including at local newspapers as I believe he may not be notable. SwisterTwister talk 03:09, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- SwisterTwister, this source, this one and this seemed promising. this one described him as a significant contributor to Hip hop genre of music in Uganda. He was the subject of "Diamonds in the Rough", an hip hop documentry film. The documentry film was cited in this book authored by Adriana N. Helbig and this book authored by Eric Charry. I think the article is likely to survive WP:AfD. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 05:55, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Luabella
How many sources use Luabella? I found Bella and Belladonna. --Marvel Hero (talk) 12:32, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- There are several sources that called her Luebella. See huffpost, BBC, Express and star, this, this book, this book by Donard McCormick, this book by David Phelps to mention few. An article on the title, Belladonna already exists. See; Belladonna. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 13:37, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello
Thank you for the response. While I do understand why Wikipedia would be concerned about conflict of interest in my case, I don’t see why my articles would be taken down. I do work for the company but I wasn’t compensated for posting on Wikipedia. The company would like to put up some general information for anyone who would be interested in reading it and it is in no way meant as advertising. I just got the text and posted it the same as anyone else would. If there is any way for me to post the pages could you please tell me how. If it is purely because of my company email I can create a new account with my personal email and do it from home.
