CS1 error on Anti-Igbo sentiment

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Anti-Igbo sentiment, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can (bot)&section=new report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) ( talk) 22:10, 5 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Igbo architecture is now extremely difficult to edit

Because you haven't created sections, just used bold. Please fix this. I also found some material directly copied but failed to removed it. Quotations always need attributing. In some cases you seem to have interpreted sources, eg "walls sometimes attached to defensive towers known as Obuna Enu." Your source does not call these towers, so WIkipedia shouldn't. And text such as "They provide stability and durability to the structure."? That's the reason to use stone, we don't need that. [1] is not a reliably published source, we don't use blogs [2]. [3] isn't even published so can't be used. [4] says presented so might be a conference paper, nothing to show it's reliably published. I'd appreciate it if you'd fix these problems. If you can't I'll revert to before you started to let you try again. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 16:22, 23 September 2023 (UTC) reply

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Just wanted to thank you for your edits to Afrobeats! Particularly on hard to source aspects.

You may notice I removed most of the technical aspects of Afropiano; this is because I could not actually find sources for those (e.g the log drums in relation to afrobeats, clave usage in afropiano). If you're able to source that feel free to re-add. HarrySONofBARRY ( talk) 20:00, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Please stop reverting or engaging in distruptive edits which may appear to be misleading to readers as well as damaging to the encyclopedia. For instance incorrect/ misleading linking. Incorrect usage of infobox parameters."One point" editing although according to data, history, evidence as well as section, information (even mislabeling/ misidentification) is clear and obvious - i.e. afrobeats, Niniola etc. Qaqaamba ( talk) 23:00, 30 December 2023 (UTC) reply

I left you a message here but now you're giving me a warning even though it is you that has been making disruptive editing and misleading readers even after it has been described very descriptively on the page that there's a difference between afro house from south africa and the style of music which niniola calls afro house hence why I linked the afrohouse on niola’s page to the specific style of what she calls afrohouse. Then you claimed she does afrobeats even though she has never strictly called her style of music that. Bernadine okoro ( talk) 23:49, 30 December 2023 (UTC) reply
E.g. You can not link Hip Hop to K-Pop and claim that it's a different style of "Hip hop" and what appears to be forcefully claim that it is a different style of Hip hop "that Koreans do", "with the same name" . Especially if it's literally obvious by listening, historical facts as well as data, further clarification and evidence that the genre styles are obviously different or mistaken for something else due to ostensibly lack of knowledge or information. You also can not stipulate genres as fusion genres without former explicit and ample references or in some cases largely obvious , ample historical displays. Again misleading to readers and damaging to the encyclopedia. Qaqaamba ( talk) 23:57, 30 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Her style of music, which she calls Afro house is more of a fusion genre of music. Her music fuses afrobeats with house hence why I wrote it in the fusion section within the article. Honestly, I don't think you understand what a fusion genre of music is and the hip hop and kpop examples is a terrible example since I never claimed that niniola's Afro house is the same with the South African one the only thing connecting them both is the name I have been saying this multiple times now. I have given literally explicit ample references to why they are both different genres of music within the section. Also, it is important to remind you that claiming that she does Afro beats is damaging to encyclopedia especially considering there is no sources to back that claim. Bernadine okoro ( talk) 00:08, 31 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Although copyright does not apply to music titles, as per previous stipulated examples you can not insistently forcefully claim a genre with the same name especially when differentiation via listening to catalogue as well as written evidence of mislabeling /mistaking or misidentification is clear. Regarding afrobeats, there is an entire dedicated section regarding the subject and further detailing the differentiation. The fact that you created and published the section however are now what appears to be confused could be perceived as perturbing. Finally, to reiterate please stop linking incorrectly as well as stipulating fusion genres without former displays especially without references or obvious significant historical displays.

Information icon Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Unavailable (song). Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you. Qaqaamba ( talk) 05:28, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello i reverted the edits myself as for the any new edits to unavailable (song) is not my me but rather by you. Qaqaamba its important to not accuse people of what they didn't do its very insulting and it goes agaimst rules in the Wikipedia community please take note of this. Bernadine okoro ( talk) 12:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply
It appears you are confused, this section is in reference to the edit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Unavailable_%28song%29&diff=1195022335&oldid=1194010431&variant=en) you recently conducted whereas you stipulated a random sole umbrella term "afro pop" as a genre for a song which is in actual fact explicitly categorized as the 2 genres I thereafter, listed to fix your non factual, edit.
Please take note that even if a song is described or labeled as afro-pop , it'll most likely still need to be explicitly further classified as in which genre(s) it exactly is. Please read more about this on the afrobeats, talk page if you are still confused and/or to avoid repeating the same ,error in regards to introducing non factual information into the encyclopedia. Qaqaamba ( talk) 13:12, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply
No, I'm not confused it is you who is confused, that reference to the edit you are talking about is a revert of my own edit which returned the original information in the infobox as to regards to the genre back to Afropop hereby leaving the original information which is Afropop as it originally was in the infobox. Kindly refrain from repeating this action, as it is not in accordance with proper procedures. Ensure that cautions are directed to the appropriate editor before implementation. Bernadine okoro ( talk) 03:06, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Hello @ Bernadine okoro. To reiterate in reference to what this section is in regards to -your edit(s) here ( Unavailable (song):
  • Your 1st edit ; "Afrobeats#Afropiano | Afropiano" ( [5]) - no former source stipulates nor implies that this is the song's genre.
  • 2nd edit ; "reverted to your previous edit " Afropop" ( [6]) - afropop is not a genre , it is a general term to describe all 54 countries' of Africa's genres which are vast and varied. For instance both afrobeats and amapiano are 2 types of genres which fit under this umbrella term and/or description.
  • The song's genre(s) are amapiano and afrobeats. Moreover , even if the / a song is described as afropop, as afropop is not a genre , it is insightful for readers as well as the purpose of the encyclopedia to stipulate and elaborate on which, exact genre(s) as well as to not mislead readers nor introduce non-factual information. ( [7]).

Ok so I'm going to say this and I want to express that my intention is not to insult or belittle you in any way. However, I've noticed a recurring issue that might be related to comprehension on your side as to regards to this whole issue. You just wrote a whole paragraph explaining something that I just told you that I had nothing to do with. Regarding music edits, I am very specific about genres, and I have consistently avoided using Afro-pop due to its broad interpretation. As stated in my initial response, I merely reverted an edit back to Afropop, maintaining the original state. If there is concern about the Afropop listing, I suggest reviewing the page history to identify the editor who made the initial change and addressing the editor with caution accordingly. The Afropop information in the info box is unrelated to me, except for the reversion to the original state. I really hope you are understanding what i'm saying. Bernadine okoro ( talk) 07:43, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • You restoring/ reverting an edit, whether it was by yourself or someone else = your edit, since you are the last editor to implement/ introduce, that edit.
  • Not only did you introduce/ re-introduce non factual information or fabrication (original research) into the encyclopedia, this also results in misleading readers as well as other editors having to clean up (fix) your instigated, disorder.
Please refer to the previous responses above, if you are still confused and/or need any more information regarding this section. Qaqaamba ( talk) 08:09, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Alright, fair enough although I should say I find it interesting that you are giving me a warning but have done the same thing recently after giving me this warning as you did on Jidenna's page. Bernadine okoro ( talk) 13:57, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Information icon Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Afrobeats. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Please do not mix the two sub/genres on your own with no WP:RS as it can be misleading, also note that the sources you recently listed may not be reliable. It may not be you but I noticed it is said that afrobeats is an "umbrella term" which no source supports the claim. Please try to paraphrase what's written in the sources, there's a reason why sources must be cited. dxneo ( talk) 14:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello the "umbrella term" after using the view history tab appears to predate my first edit on the page and as such has nothing to do with me. Bernadine okoro ( talk) 13:53, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
