possible correction on wizkid award list

"including a Grammy Awards thanks to his featured work in Beyoncé's The Lion King: The Gift soundtrack with "Brown Skin Girl"

in the above remarks you used featured instead of collaboration, wizkid is not a featured artiste in Brown skin girl, he is a lead artiste, he co-own the song, instead of featured, you can use Collaborative instead

thanks

Request for Adoption

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

Your GOCE copy-edit request for Yellow (Brymo album)

Hi Versace1608, I'm Baffle gab1978, a coordinator at the Guild of Copy Editors. I've removed your copy-edit request for Yellow (Brymo album) at the Guild of Copy Editors Requests page here. I've done this because the page currently has a limit of two requests per editor at any one time. We enforce this limit to ensure every request has a fair chance of being fulfilled in a reasonable time. If you'd like this article to be copy-edited before one of your extant requests, you're welcome to swap them over. You can re-add your latest request as soon as one of your others has been copy-edited. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 20:53, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

@Baffle gab1978: Thanks for the message. I had no idea we were limited to only two requests at a time. I will probably submit another request once the two pending requests are complete. Thanks for all that you do at GOCE.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 23:30, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Explanation

Hello, man Versace am just new here and am still learning, I was reading, and I just found a broken link and I decided to replace it as part of my contribution! not a promotion.

you can also check the link its Broken. "Afroboy singer" (talk) 16:52, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

@Afroboy singer: I appreciate your edit to the Flavour (musician) article; however, the particular source you added is unreliable. I apologized for presuming you were promoting the site. We usually have people who join Wikipedia for the sole purpose of promoting their website. What you are calling a broken link is actually what we called a WP:dead link. Please read WP:DEADREF; the norm on Wikipedia is to search for web archives of the link; removing dead links are not generally encouraged, unless there aren't web archives of them available on the internet. I am going to search for that particular link; I'm confident I can find a web archive of it.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 17:11, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Ok now i have gone through "read WP:DEADREF" I have learned! i am not here to promote any website.

I just corrected the singles and updated the date and name thought was wrong on that, but u just explained better for me thank you!

now are you saying i should leave the edit or I should delete it? "Afroboy singer" (talk) 17:28, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

ok i have heard you i just saw it was broken and I decide

that means i have to remove it now ...or are saying in case of next time

this was my first contribution.  i felt like am not good "Afroboy singer" (talk) 17:21, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Love to contribute.

hello, man I wanted to keep the page active many sources are broken

i just decide to pick a good source to replace the dead ones, thanks for all your good work

here is the dead link; http://notjustok.com/2011/02/04/video-premiere-flavour-nabania-my-woman-is-gone/

i think i didn't add the access date let me correct it then. i have done so now. am still learning.

Thanks a lot. good man. "Afroboy singer" (talk) 17:12, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

@Afroboy singer: I am going to archive all of the sources in the article when I get home tonight. You don't have to worry about replacing the sources that are dead. I am confident that all of the sources in the article have been archived on wayback machine. It is just a matter of retrieving them.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 18:30, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

ok that's great man hopes my contribution will count I will study more about the policies. keep the good work man! "Afroboy singer" (talk) 22:10, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

@Afroboy singer: Your contributions can definitely count man. The Flavour article needs expanding and you can definitely help with that. I'm not sure if you are a big fan of his music but if you are, you can definitely work on it in your sandbox. I can find reliable sources that can be cited in the article and guide you through the expansion process.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 22:47, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Versace1608, I removed some off-topic text from the subsection in "Life and career"; I moved the text to the relevant articles (Aye (song), Blow My Mind). Material relevant to A Good Time is already present in that article; please see my edit summaries for my full rationales. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:20, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

@Baffle gab1978: Thank you so much for your edits to the article. I really appreciate all that you did and continue to do to better this encyclopedia.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 23:20, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

DenG sent me to ya

he want me to edit this wiki account ya build for him back in 2019 Musicname (talk) 00:27, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

@Musicname: You cannot edit the DenG article directly since you have an external relationship to the subject. Wikipedia's COI policy doesn't encourage people with a COI to make direct edits to affected pages. If you want to see changes made to the DenG article, you will need to make a request at Talk:DenG.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 11:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
