User talk:OTim75
Hello, OTim75! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you want some practice editing, please do so on our graffiti wall. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here. If you want to contribute with information about the place where you live, see Wikivoyage:Welcome, locals.
And thank you for improving Wikivoyage's coverage of Nigeria! If you want, you can join the Wikivoyage:Nigeria Expedition, a project page designed for improving pages all about Nigeria. If you want to ask any questions or need any help, just leave me a message on my talk, or at the Wikivoyage:Nigeria café! --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 21:20, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Copyright violation
[edit]Hi, OTim75. I had to delete the entire "Understand" section of Itire, because it was entirely copied and pasted from https://www.propertypro.ng/guide/areas/itire-surulere-lagos/. We may need to delete the article in its entirety because of this. Please read Wikivoyage:Copyleft and don't do this again. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:31, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you. I will read and do better. OTim75 (talk) 23:38, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Please note that even if you copy text from Wikipedia, you must credit your source, such as by typing "Copied content from [name of] Wikipedia article" in an edit summary that you type in the "Summary" box below your edit screen. In many cases, because of Wikivoyage's different style and goals, it will be better to summarize or paraphrase from Wikipedia articles, but if you do that, please still give your source credit. This is covered in the link I gave for you above. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:56, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- This would be observed going forward. Thank you. OTim75 (talk) 00:00, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- At this point, you can somewhat remedy the problem by putting a notice on the relevant articles' talk pages that content has been used from one or more particular Wikipedia articles you name, but consider issues of style and goals, too. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:05, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Please don't copy text from other Wikivoyage pages without crediting it in the edit summary. It is a violation of the original author's copyright. The only exception is when you wrote the text on the other page. Usually it is not helpful for readers to see the same text in different articles. I have just removed a lot of the text that you added to Ajasse Ipo because it was the same as Ilorin. AlasdairW (talk) 21:21, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hello OTim, due to the fact that some of the articles you've created have been internally copied with no attribution, there is a proposal to delete the ones that have internally copied at vfd. Thank you. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 09:37, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. But if any of my articles created is having the same content that means they share the same attributes due to close proximity and similar administrative functions. This is mostly common in small towns in Nigerian. I will appreciate you look into this and revert the proposal. Thank you. 197.210.64.172 10:05, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- That's not what he means. He means that merely copying content from other articles without merging and redirecting the articles or at least mentioning in edit summaries where you got the content from means that there is no credit given to the editors who worked on the other articles in the edit histories of the articles with pasted text. Do you see what we mean? Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:37, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand better now. Thank you. OTim75 (talk) 12:41, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
