Problematic article creation

@Kojodavid, its really great your are creating a lot of articles, but its really important you do your best to do a few things to help:

1. The first thinks is to get the capitalisation right in the article title. This usually means each word should begin with a capital (uppercase) letter. For example Adenike temidayo oladijishould have been Adenike Temidayo Oladiji.
2. Is actually best to match the name used on the English Wikipedia article if at all possible, in this case w:en:Adenike Oladiji. So I have renamed you article to that name.
3. It is really important to link to the English Wikipedia article which is an easy way to confirm the subject of the article is notable. The {{Wikipedia}} template in the External links section is one way to do that. Its not essential but if its not don your article may very quickly be deleted.
4. Please make sure you get quotes in your article very quickly. Without any quotes your article is likely to be speedily nominated for deletion.

I realise it is possible you are creating these articles in relation to the Africa Day Campaign 2023. Thankyou. -- DeirgeDel ^t_a^c 22:44, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the follow up's

I'm editing for women in education campaign.

A quick one? How do you link the quote to wikidata?. Kojodavid (talk) 22:41, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

The way I do it (and others have better ways) is:

1. Take a copy of the Wikiquote article name into the copy/past buffer
2. Click the link on the article you've created through to the English Wikipedia article item.
3. From the English Wikipedia article select the Wikidata item from the left or right side column
4. The sitelinks will be on a set of boxes either at the top right or at the bottom, The first will box will be "Wikipedia" and "Wikiquote" will be the third one done.
5. If there is already a record entry for "en" DO NOT OVERWRITE IT! Nasty things like blocks may have to you if you do. You likely have created a duplicate article and you need to redirect it or ask for it to be deleted.
6. If there is no entry for the "en" then press edit on the Wikiquote box, on the new record at the bottom enter "en" for the first wiki' field then past the wikiquote article name into the second box and press "publish".
7. Click the link you created back to the en.wikiquote article. It should now have an link in the left (or right) column that says Wikidata item.

Doing that sitelink actually takes me about 30s if everything is in order. What take's me (and others) more time is to add the DEFAULTSORT line and to add categories. see e.g.:Special:Diff/3314052. I've written this in a rush so there may be errors. Thankyou. -- DeirgeDel ^t_a^c 23:24, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
