Chuks Joseph very much deserves to have a page on Wikipedia. He is currently one of Nigeria and Africa's fastest-rising young actors with multiple number 1 films and series on Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube. JohnInyiriOgba (talk) 20:11, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello JohnInyiriOgba. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:JohnInyiriOgba. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JohnInyiriOgba|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 18:28, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know this. I am actually not paid. At least not yet. I began creating pages this year after learning in January. My main object is to help update information about rising young stars in my country, Nigeria, because I noticed there isn't a lot of information about them online. JohnInyiriOgba (talk) 18:34, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

I'll certainly indicate whenever I start getting paid. JohnInyiriOgba (talk) 18:35, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Do you have any connection to these actors you're writing about? 331dot (talk) 18:40, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

@331dot no I do not. I'm just a professional writer and interviewer. I only create pages about young creatives dominating the Nigerian and African entertainment scenes (some, I interviewed last year). I noticed that there usually isn't much compiled information about them. So, based on news sources and previous interviews that they granted, I create pages for them. I have only created 5 since January. JohnInyiriOgba (talk) 18:54, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Um, that's a connection. So you're a professional writer, but you aren't editing professionally when you're here?

You've used a few images created by others. How did you know these existed? 331dot (talk) 18:59, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

@331dot Yes, I am a professional writer. I had no ideo that having interviewed them in the past would count as a connection. I don't have any personal connection to any of them. I mean, I can't know so many people, I'm just a writer.

The pictures I used were for one person, Chuks Joseph. They were sent to my email last year when I interviewed him and I was given permission to use them. The first time I used them here, I stated that they didn't belong to me. I still got flagged for that, and I still haven't figured Wikimedia out. After reading the rules, I emailed the photographer to post them himself before updating the photo.

I apologize if having interviewed them in the past counts as a connection. I'm evidently still finding out how things work here, that's why I'm asking questions on this chat. I'm sure I'll do better with the right assistance. So sorry for breaking any rules. That is honestly not intentional. JohnInyiriOgba (talk) 19:10, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. 331dot (talk) 19:58, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

@331dot thank you so much for understanding. I appreciate it. JohnInyiriOgba (talk) 20:28, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

@Ibjaja055 Hi. This update is noted. However, I should mention that the activist Ndi Kato is a role model and a huge inspiration for young women in Nigeria. I created this page because I felt the need to give her more visibility for the work she's done so far. I am open to making corrections as directed. Do have a splendid day.

@Ibjaja055 The page has been edited and re-written to meet Wikipedia standards with accurate sources. Please review again and give feedback. JohnInyiriOgba (talk) 05:57, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
