HiVersace1608. 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 fromadopt a user page to take guidance from and learn. Looking forward to learn from you. Thanks.Gardenkur

Hey Versace1608, so lately I've been working on an article forDare Art Alade's 2010 single "The Way You Are" inin my sandbox, and I feel like it's missing something. It already has three sections aside from the lead, and fifteen sources. I tried to find anything else I could add to it like a music video section, but there aren't many reliable sources that talk in detail about the music video. Do you have any suggestions to what I could add or should I just publish it as it is?OsigbemheEJB (talk)22:17, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OsigbemheEJB, thanks for this particular message. I will do a Google search from my end and see what I can find. I think the lede can be expanded a little. I will get back to you if I end up finding additional sources. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?}03:19, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, forget "The Way You Are". I actually wanted to talk to you about the "Oleku" article. If you do a Google search or check the article itself, it states that its release was 8 June 2010. However, when I look at most sites that post the song's release, they state its release to be 21 or 22 September 2010 (seeBellaNaija,Jaguda,Notjustok). Is there a reason why this is how it is?OsigbemheEJB (talk)00:29, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this particular message. I did not create the Oleku article and wasn't the one who added the infobox and release date to the article. Thisparticular edit shows the exact date and time thatZackmann08 added this partiulcar info. I don't know how this person derived the release date so please feel free to update this article. The article needs to be accurate as possible. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?}03:09, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@OsigbemheEJB andVersace1608: So if you look atthis diff all I did was change the parameter names, not the actual values displayed. This was part of a refactor of{{Infobox song}} if I remember correctly... Anyway, asVersace1608 said, if the info is wrong, def feel free to correct it!Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing})03:44, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I'm updating it now.OsigbemheEJB (talk)03:55, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Versace1608, I've been trying to find more articles to create and I've been working on one that I was thinking seems notable: an article onKiss Daniel's 2016 song "Mama". It's not finished yet, but I've been working on it in my sandbox. Can you check it out and give me suggestions on what I should add?OsigbemheEJB (talk)02:57, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there OsigbemheEJB, I can't seem to find reliable sources on my end to aid in the draft's expansion. The onlyadditional source I found is from BellaNaija Weddings, which included the song on the list of the "10 Perfect Afrobeats and R&B Songs for The Mother-Son Dance". I think you could add a live performance section if you locate reliable sources that talks about his performance of the song at multiple events. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?}03:08, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay, I just included the information I have now intoKizz Daniel's biography article.OsigbemheEJB (talk)09:12, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Versace1608, I wanted to talk to you about the "African Queen" article. In the article, you refer to 2Baba as 2Baba, instead of 2Face Idibia, or 2Face, which is the stage name he went by when he released the song. I wanted to know if this was on accident or not, because I remember you sent me amessage on my talk page when I had carelessly moved the title of theThe Ascension article. (P.S. off topic but I appreciate the edits you made to the "Ojuelegba" article)OsigbemheEJB (talk)00:01, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OsigbemheEJB, thanks for the message. I don't think there's anything wrong with calling him 2Baba despite him being known as 2face at the time of the song's release. I looked up several artists who have released albums under two different stage names and most of their Wikipedia-related articles only make mention of the album being released under the stage name. Their current stage name is the main name in the article. For instance, Snoop Dogg released a reggae album under the stage name Snoop Lion. In the article itself, the name Snoop Lion is only mentioned a couple of times. His current and well-known stage name is more used in said article than Snoop Lion. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?}16:41, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Versace1608, sorry for the late response. Looking at the Snoop Lion article you were talking about, he is referred to as Snoop Lion more than he is as Snoop Dogg. Still, I understand your reasoning, and I'm fine with how the naming is handled in the article. Thanks for taking the time to explain.OsigbemheEJB (talk)23:53, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Versace1608, sorry if I'm bothering, but I had another question. I had seen in a lot of articles, Tyler oftooXclusive was referred to as Tyler Batimoore. However, in the article oftooXclusive, it says his name is Olutayo "Tyler" Duncan-Sotubo. Is Tyler Batimoore a different guy? Where did we get Batimoore from? In other articles where the author was Tyler I just went along with it without paying any attention. When I search up Tyler Batimoore on Google, I just find links to Wikipedia articles that mention him.OsigbemheEJB (talk)04:07, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I am not familiar with the subject you're talking about so I won't be of much help. I do know the TooXclusive platform very well though. I'll have to look into this and get back to you Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?}22:08, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I was asking because I had seen this in "Finally", "Emergency", and "Sexy Mama", articles made by you, so I wanted to be sure it was accurate. I had been confused about this for a while so I wanted to ask you directly.OsigbemheEJB (talk)23:37, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For clarification, I'm talking about Tyler, the CEO of tooXclusive.OsigbemheEJB (talk)21:56, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did not create the "Emergency" article and wasn't the one who expanded the other two articles you mentioned. All three articles you linked were edited by User:Carbrera, who brought them to GA status. He is most likely the one who added Tyler Batimoore to the TooXclusive source in all three articles. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?}14:28, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ohhhh. My mistake. Thanks for the explanation. I'll talk to him about it, then.OsigbemheEJB (talk)22:09, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Versace1608, I saw your edit onP-Square'sGreatest 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 onEminem'sCurtain 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Hi Versace1608, happy new year. I wanted to tell you that I found the official release date (8 July 2008) toD'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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

Hi@Versace1608: hope all is well. So I recently made an edit toOnce 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 theNigerian 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, a360nobs 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)[reply]
