Hi Versace1608. I have joined wikipedia last November and found it of great interest. I have edited many existing articles and also drafted articles from my side. I thought it would be helpful for me to ask for adoption to be guided in Wikipedia path to make valuable contribution in future with authors with great experience. I found you have decent experience from adopt a user page to take guidance from and learn. Looking forward to learn from you. Thanks. Gardenkur

Hi Versace1608, I saw your edit on P-Square's Greatest Hits article. Thanks for the cleanup. I wanted to ask about the track listing change. I added album origins in parentheses because I saw the same format used on Eminem's Curtain Call: The Hits article. Is that considered an exception, or is it discouraged across the board? I want to follow standard practice going forward. Thanks. OsigbemheEJB (talk) 08:29, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm not sure if that particular article is an exception, but I do know for a fact that it is not the norm. You can check hundreds of greatest hits articles and you won't see the info arrange that way. I don't believe the info is necessary and feel like it clutters the track listing section. If you really want to include that info in the section, you can put it the notes part of the track listing section. For instance, you can say songs A, B, and C appear on album X. Next line, Songs D and E appear on album Y.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 06:10, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Okay, makes sense. Looking back on it, it does make it look a bit cluttered. I might consider your suggestion about using notes to group songs by their original albums. Thanks for the guidance. OsigbemheEJB (talk) 23:32, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Versace1608, happy new year. I wanted to tell you that I found the official release date (8 July 2008) to D'banj's "Fall in Love" that I could put in the article, which before, stated the release date as simply 2009. However, the source I found that supports may not be reliable since it's a blog. But you know, most official single releases in Nigeria were more widely covered by blogs than newspapers back then. What do you suggest I should do about it? OsigbemheEJB (talk) 06:24, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi there, Happy New Year! Sorry for the late response. I believe you can cite that particular blog source in the article. I personally don't have any objection to it.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 18:03, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the permission, Versace1608. Have a good rest of your day. OsigbemheEJB (talk) 23:36, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Versace1608: hope all is well. So I recently made an edit to Once Upon a Time, about the album's second or fourth single "Ife Wa Gbona" featuring Leo Wonder. Apparently the song had been previously released in August 2010 according to sources I found, and upon listening again I'm pretty sure the song was also rerecorded. Perhaps even re-released in October 2012, because the Nigerian Entertainment Today article about the video's release states that Tiwa "returns with something new and fresh," seeming to disregard the single's previous release. On the contrary, a 360nobs article states that the "First lady of Mavin Records drops her new and third video for her 2010 single 'Ife Wa Gbona' featuring Leo Wonder." So I'm not completely sure whether or not the 2010 release was official or not and was in 2012, or maybe it was re-released. What's your take on this? OsigbemheEJB (talk) 06:06, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

To answer your question, I believe it was official. The person who wrote the NET article probably didn't know the song was previously released. Majority of older Nigerian songs do not have clear and concise release dates, creating a lot of discrepancy and ambiguity. Sometimes songs are labeled as singles when they are not. Other times, they are considered the first, second or third single when other songs from the same album were labeled the same. It's all confusing man. Its cool that you are going back in time and correcting necessary info.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 16:09, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

It is confusing. But, yeah, thanks for responding. I just wanted to double-check. And I see why the NET author didn't know it already dropped because it was also quite under-promoted during its August 2010 release. OsigbemheEJB (talk) 01:15, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Your good article nomination of the article Lucid (Aṣa album) has failed. See the review page for more information. If or when the reviewer's feedback has been addressed, you may nominate the article again.
