2019 Nigerian Senate election in Kogi State, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 8th Nigeria National Assembly, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Abu Ibrahim. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:00, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 41.190.2.118. Twitter is banned in Nigeria so I can only open the app using a vpn. Sometimes I forget to disconnect my vpn before beginning to edit on wiki, Although now I have turned it off permanently, please assist in removing this block Grey Matter Copy (talk) 09:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This unblock request is confusing. First, you say this IP address is not a proxy. Then you note that you are indeed using a proxy. Then you say you have disconnected your proxy. And the IP address you list is a confirmed proxy. I can't figure out what you are trying to say. Yamla (talk) 10:13, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

(talk page stalker) Hey Yamla, There's an existing Twitter ban in Nigeria so some of us use VPNs to gain access to twitter. My understanding of what they wrote is that they had used a VPN to access twitter and forgot to turn it off and tried to edit on Wikipedia and was caught by an auto block. I had similar experience a while ago but decided to wait out the block duration. Hope this helps. Princess of Ara 11:41, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you❤️Princess of Ara but I'm one person. Also, After the contest, I hope you can put me through creating a better article, for my draft page you reviewed 🙏🏿 Mr Grey

I have confirmed that is indeed a proxy. Please stop claiming you aren't using proxies/vpn's when you know, based on the above, that you are. --Yamla (talk) 17:37, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted said VPN app and cleared my history, cache and cookies. Won't happen again, kindly assist.

You are still operating from a proxy. However, this particular proxy isn't blocked. You should be able to edit after waiting 24 hours. Note, though, that you should expect this proxy, too, will be blocked shortly. --Yamla (talk) 21:50, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
