Hi Versace1608, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism, spam and blatantly unconstructive edits; using it to revert any other type of edit - such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with - can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, use a manual edit summary instead of using the rollback tool. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 14:42, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Hey Versace, I noticed you were tagging some articles earlier. While that is fine and I would like to thank you for the stub tagging, adding merge templates to articles is unproductive to their well-being if you don't provide a reason behind it. There are a lot of articles out there with this template on their page, but unless you give a reasoning behind it, no one knows why it should be merged. As such, I have removed these tags, as they are all notable mass transit stations. Finally, a map prepared during that era is a reliable source, so I also removed that tag as well. It's no small sweat, but I just wanted to let you know why I removed everything, if you weren't sure. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 03:51, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Really love what you did to the headies page, please I wanna know under what category of license am to put a promotional banner for an african award show or a movie...because some of these movies do not create provision for me to have a citation that states explicitly that it is for media use nevertheless they want the images publicised.

Thanks for the advice. I retrieved all the information from the FIBA.com website which is virtually the only place I could find it on. Even at the FIBA Africa website you won't find much information about african championships. In general, it is extremely hard to find information about African sports events. Regards

Its been a while, thanks for always being there for me when I need help. I noticed that the only Nollywood award event on Wikipedia is Africa Movie Academy Award(AMAA). I have decided to create articles on some other notable film awards, but am unsure if it meets wikipedia's notability status. I don't want to create one and get it deleted later after my hard work. The award shows am considering are Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards(AMVCA), Best Of Nollywood(BON) Awards and Nollywood Movie Awards(NMA).
I already read articles on what makes an event notable so I don't need to read more about Wikipedia terms, All I want is for you to tell me what you think. I am awaiting your response which I hope would be soon.Cite error: There are <ref>

Hi YBNL nation, I am a Wikipedia editor and contributor. I contributed to Olamide's Wikipedia article and would like to attach an image (preferably a vertical one) of him in the infobox of his Wikipedia article. I am writing to request a photo (general portrait or situation specific photo) for his article on the english wikipedia. His article is linked here:

I want to get access rights on Wikipedia and I was told that I needed to create at least 50 articles before I can be considered, I would be very very slow if I waste so much time on one article, so what i wanna know is if this technique would count against me in the long run since they are not comprehensive articles. Darreg ( talk) 07:33, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks once again, you are very good at sending the right messages without making one feel down. I am taking a break from Wikipedia for now, I have lost my drive atm. I would be back when the zeal is back. And "no" its not related to anything that happened here. Darreg ( talk) 21:06, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
It's good to see you collaborating with other editors and providing leadership and guidance to less-experienced editors. Wikipedia needs more editors with expertise in Africa-related topics. I noticed in a recent edit you told another editor that a third party - presumably someone that an article is about or a person who is otherwise "closely connected" with the article - would be impressed.
This is fine if there is no connection between the editor and this third party. But if there are connections, then Wikipedia:Conflict of interest ("COI") may apply.
Here's an example: If I wrote an article about my high school English teacher who I hadn't spoken to in 20 years, and a classmate of mine said in the abstract "she will be impressed" but what he really meant was "she will be impressed, if she ever happens to read the article," that's fine. If, on the other hand, I'm writing the article on behalf of my former English teacher, or on behalf of someone else who wants an article about her created for his own personal reasons, that would be a "conflict of interest."
As you collaborate, if you sense that others may be editing with "conflicts of interests," please ask them to read and understand Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline and ask them to use Template:Connected contributor on article talk pages when applicable.
Following the COI guideline and using the "connected contributor" template provides transparency and will reduce the chances that the editors will get into trouble later for unintentionally editing with a non-neutral point of view (see WP:NPOV).

Please is it possible to make edits on Wikipedia with a Samsung Galaxy Notebook? Because I don't see any provision for that here. Seanord ( talk) 10:36, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
The first time i joined Wikipedia I was totally in the dark as regards the rules so I could not really make any meaningful edit or impact so I abandoned my account. A few years down the line I returned and with your assistance and monitoring I was able to be among the few African students in the largest classroom in the world and start things that I believe would outlive me (a privilege am still grateful to you for till this date).
Although this may be a faceless community but I actually grew into trusting you and taking your judgement with high esteem because I felt you gat my back at all times and you always seem very nice. I remember when you once told me that "we are like a family in Wikipedia", Would you report any suspicion you have of your family to the authorities as soon as you think that you notice them? don't you think its better to confront the person first and be certain before taking the necessary action? I understand the fact that there are rules governing Wikipedia about multiple accounts but I can tell you that I have not broken any, that is why I was amazed(and a little dissapointed) that you want to orchestrate my exit(ban) from this wonderful community that I have come to love because of your aid.
And concerning the IP addresses that you want to use against me I actually visit a cyber-cafe very often(a feat common in developing countries) and I have a particular system that I always use when am there so another user might use that same system when am not around.
Please I would appreciate it if you can delete this post as soon as you read it, I want it to be for your eyes alone and I dont want it to be permanent on your talk page.
Thank you Darreg ( talk) 08:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello...I noticed you've suspended your edits on the Headies page for some weeks now, and am guessing that it might be because you've been quite busy of late. I would have loved to assist but I really love and admire the perfection in your work hence my reluctance. I just wanted to ask when you planned on finishing it. Thanks.

Hi, with reference to this
your revert, am sorry that i unintentionally made a mistake without noticing the arrow in
my revert. Actually some IP's were changing the sub-heading 3.1 from 1956 to 1959 w/o any explanation in edit summary. Also ever since the passage of AP Reorganization Bill, some IP's tend to remove
Andhra Pradesh from the list and add
Telengana or just simply add telengana. This has been just passed, when it is notified in Gazette of India only, the bill takes effect and comes to force for creation of new state. Hence you may see to that and do relevant changes. Thank you very much!. --

Good afternoon Versace(am guessing its already Night where you are). How has your day been?
Sometimes I wonder why Wikipedia have some strange rules that makes expansion of articles strenious for Wikipedians...Most Media people(if not all) in Nigeria are always glad to see their works covered comprehensively on Wikipedia but why does wikipedia still make it difficult for editors to use them? I was amazed and shocked when the DVD poster for the Figurine article was removed. And the excuse the reviewer gave was that it was not a nessesary poster, I was really pissed at him. What the Reviewer does not know is that DVD posters of films are even more popular and used than theatrical posters in Nigeria. I feel that a poster like that should only be removed if it negatively contributes to the article. I don't know much about the rules of Wikipedia though.
And I don't like the Idea that I cannot delete some of my Edit and Edit summary on Wikipedia. I guess I have to be more careful then.
Please If you need information as regards Nominations of early editions of The Headies Award dont hesitate to let me know, I might be of help. I would love to join you in The Headies yearly articles now, I noticed you already started with some years in your Sandbox and I was wondering if you need a helping hand
Please is there any Skill/Software or App available to auto-confirmed users that you use on Wikipedia that am not using? if there is please let me know about it.
Please take a look at the AMAA article then tell me what you think. I know a lot of work still needs to be done as regards expansion but I just want to know if my mode of writing is in line with the guidelines of Wikipedia when it comes to film awards before I consider moving forward. I would also appreciate if you could add AMAA to your To-do list catalog.
Darreg ( talk) 14:53, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the info on the Gadgets, based on my calculations you should still be in bed by now lol.
I actually know time is lost as you move westwards but I was typing too fast before I discovered my mix-up, I guess its one of the reasons why I need to be more careful before clicking save since you said nothing can ever be deleted completely on Wikipedia.
I understand the fact that you are only into African Music but it's always thrilling and adventurous to go out of your comfort zone at times. Being an active Wikipedian is an unusual deed for me.
Concerning the Image, I guess if the director of the movie gives Wikipedia the go-ahead to publish the image via email it would sort things out. And you should not have blue-linked the image uploader (She might not like it).
I should start immediately on The Headies yearly articles and update you my relevant progress but if you have no problem getting the nominee list I guess I might just leave it for you for now.

I know you told me you don't know much about African films but this is more about a Wikipedian trying to know what kind of information is eligible for Wikipedia. A renowned Nigeria film maker Teco Benson directed a film titled Blood Diamond years before the Hollywood version, I can remember listening to a live interview on National Radio (97.7 Metro FM) some years ago after he got honoured by the Federal Government(MFR) when he was lamenting that his intellectual property(Same story line, same title, etc) was being used unjustly and he also said he was sad that he was not even contacted before the Hollywood version. I am about to include something on this on Teco Benson's page but because of the controversial nature of the topic I just felt you should know first and tell me what you think. I know the Radio interview would not be sufficient for Wikipedia standard and since you always ask for links and sources before anything, here is an interview he did sometime ago where the issue was briefly discussed. http://www.nigeriafilms.com/news/4271/16/blood-diamonds-hollywood-stole-my-movie-title-teco.html

You are an editor I look up to on Wikipedia and I always respect your opinion and views at all times whether its convenient or not. but I don't think I have done or said anything wrong here. I did not use any vulgar/foul term on the Wikipedian. To be frank for a moment I was even thinking that the apology was meant to go the other way. If you can explain to me where i said anything that was insulting or derogatory and is deserving of an apology it would make it easier for me to tender an apology and perhaps in the long run better my understanding on how Wikipedia guidelines and code of conduct works. thank you.

Hi, versace1608. Thanks for cautioning me on my recent edits. After confirming the inline citations to Davido's alma mater on his biographical article, I learnt that he actually did not graduate from Oakwood University. His graduate status from Babcock University remains unclear. However, my reasons for including Davido in the alumni categories of Oakwood and Babcock Universities were based on the fact that he was a former student who attended the institutions. An alumnus may not necessarily have graduated from an institution, but must have attended the institution for a significant period of time.
Because of Wikipedia's WP:3RR, I can't revert your edit. You need to stop making unconstructive edits to the P-Square article. I appreciate the info you added, but you must add the info at the end of the sentence in the personal life section. You do not have the right to add that anywhere you please. This is a violation of Wikipedia's WP:MOS. I will remove the contents you added later. Assuming that no one else edits the article, I will revert the edits you made and make the article look neater again. If you somehow come back and undo my edit, your IP address can get block from editing. versace1608 ( talk) 00:17, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Who are you talking to in that manner? Who says my edits are unconstructive? I added info and it is sourced. Who says the info must be added at the end? WP isn't yours nor mine, it is ours. Do not remove the content as it is factual and sourced. Look neater? What are you talking about look neater? If you undo my edit I will get you blocked.

That comment has been disputed since 2013 me and several others have worked very hard on the article to make it neutral..claiming international accounts of corruption with no proof and adding references from entertainment sites in an anti government rant is not something that is suppose to be in an wiki article.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
This applies to infoboxes, too.
Thanks, and my best wishes.

Hello. I can state authoritatively that Davido is still a Backcock University Student and he is due for graduation this year (even though he has been to classes only once this semester). To the best of my knowledge about the meaning of an Alumni, it should only apply to people that at a time attended a university but are no longer a student. If someone is still a student that person CANNOT also be an alumni at the same time. I suggest that if you cannot find any source that claims that he has dropped out or that he has graduated then he should be removed as an alumni of the school. thanks.

While working on Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Film I noticed that the French Wikipedia alone contained several articles that I wanted to Wikilink, I am just wondering why there are no bots that translates these articles to English since notability is constant across all languages.

Hi Versace1608, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism, spam and blatantly unconstructive edits; using it to revert any other type of edit - such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with - can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, use a manual edit summary instead of using the rollback tool. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 14:42, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Hey Versace, I noticed you were tagging some articles earlier. While that is fine and I would like to thank you for the stub tagging, adding merge templates to articles is unproductive to their well-being if you don't provide a reason behind it. There are a lot of articles out there with this template on their page, but unless you give a reasoning behind it, no one knows why it should be merged. As such, I have removed these tags, as they are all notable mass transit stations. Finally, a map prepared during that era is a reliable source, so I also removed that tag as well. It's no small sweat, but I just wanted to let you know why I removed everything, if you weren't sure. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 03:51, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Its been a while, thanks for always being there for me when I need help. I noticed that the only Nollywood award event on Wikipedia is Africa Movie Academy Award(AMAA). I have decided to create articles on some other notable film awards, but am unsure if it meets wikipedia's notability status. I don't want to create one and get it deleted later after my hard work. The award shows am considering are Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards(AMVCA), Best Of Nollywood(BON) Awards and Nollywood Movie Awards(NMA).
I already read articles on what makes an event notable so I don't need to read more about Wikipedia terms, All I want is for you to tell me what you think. I am awaiting your response which I hope would be soon.Cite error: There are <ref>

Hi YBNL nation, I am a Wikipedia editor and contributor. I contributed to Olamide's Wikipedia article and would like to attach an image (preferably a vertical one) of him in the infobox of his Wikipedia article.

I want to get access rights on Wikipedia and I was told that I needed to create at least 50 articles before I can be considered, I would be very very slow if I waste so much time on one article, so what i wanna know is if this technique would count against me in the long run since they are not comprehensive articles. Darreg ( talk) 07:33, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks once again, you are very good at sending the right messages without making one feel down. I am taking a break from Wikipedia for now, I have lost my drive atm.

It's good to see you collaborating with other editors and providing leadership and guidance to less-experienced editors. Wikipedia needs more editors with expertise in Africa-related topics. I noticed in a recent edit you told another editor that a third party - presumably someone that an article is about or a person who is otherwise "closely connected" with the article - would be impressed.
This is fine if there is no connection between the editor and this third party. But if there are connections, then Wikipedia:Conflict of interest ("COI") may apply.
Here's an example: If I wrote an article about my high school English teacher who I hadn't spoken to in 20 years, and a classmate of mine said in the abstract "she will be impressed" but what he really meant was "she will be impressed, if she ever happens to read the article," that's fine. If, on the other hand, I'm writing the article on behalf of my former English teacher, or on behalf of someone else who wants an article about her created for his own personal reasons, that would be a "conflict of interest."
As you collaborate, if you sense that others may be editing with "conflicts of interests," please ask them to read and understand Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline and ask them to use Template:Connected contributor on article talk pages when applicable.
Following the COI guideline and using the "connected contributor" template provides transparency and will reduce the chances that the editors will get into trouble later for unintentionally editing with a non-neutral point of view (see WP:NPOV).

The first time i joined Wikipedia I was totally in the dark as regards the rules so I could not really make any meaningful edit or impact so I abandoned my account. A few years down the line I returned and with your assistance and monitoring I was able to be among the few African students in the largest classroom in the world and start things that I believe would outlive me (a privilege am still grateful to you for till this date).
Although this may be a faceless community but I actually grew into trusting you and taking your judgement with high esteem because I felt you gat my back at all times and you always seem very nice. I remember when you once told me that "we are like a family in Wikipedia", Would you report any suspicion you have of your family to the authorities as soon as you think that you notice them? don't you think its better to confront the person first and be certain before taking the necessary action? I understand the fact that there are rules governing Wikipedia about multiple accounts but I can tell you that I have not broken any, that is why I was amazed(and a little dissapointed) that you want to orchestrate my exit(ban) from this wonderful community that I have come to love because of your aid.
And concerning the IP addresses that you want to use against me I actually visit a cyber-cafe very often(a feat common in developing countries) and I have a particular system that I always use when am there so another user might use that same system when am not around.
Please I would appreciate it if you can delete this post as soon as you read it, I want it to be for your eyes alone and I dont want it to be permanent on your talk page.

Hi, with reference to this
your revert, am sorry that i unintentionally made a mistake without noticing the arrow in
my revert. Actually some IP's were changing the sub-heading 3.1 from 1956 to 1959 w/o any explanation in edit summary. Also ever since the passage of AP Reorganization Bill, some IP's tend to remove
Andhra Pradesh from the list and add
Telengana or just simply add telengana. This has been just passed, when it is notified in Gazette of India only, the bill takes effect and comes to force for creation of new state. Hence you may see to that and do relevant changes. Thank you very much!. --

Good afternoon Versace(am guessing its already Night where you are). How has your day been?
Sometimes I wonder why Wikipedia have some strange rules that makes expansion of articles strenious for Wikipedians...Most Media people(if not all) in Nigeria are always glad to see their works covered comprehensively on Wikipedia but why does wikipedia still make it difficult for editors to use them? I was amazed and shocked when the DVD poster for the Figurine article was removed. And the excuse the reviewer gave was that it was not a nessesary poster, I was really pissed at him. What the Reviewer does not know is that DVD posters of films are even more popular and used than theatrical posters in Nigeria. I feel that a poster like that should only be removed if it negatively contributes to the article. I don't know much about the rules of Wikipedia though.
And I don't like the Idea that I cannot delete some of my Edit and Edit summary on Wikipedia. I guess I have to be more careful then.
Please If you need information as regards Nominations of early editions of The Headies Award dont hesitate to let me know, I might be of help. I would love to join you in The Headies yearly articles now, I noticed you already started with some years in your Sandbox and I was wondering if you need a helping hand
Please is there any Skill/Software or App available to auto-confirmed users that you use on Wikipedia that am not using? if there is please let me know about it.
Please take a look at the AMAA article then tell me what you think. I know a lot of work still needs to be done as regards expansion but I just want to know if my mode of writing is in line with the guidelines of Wikipedia when it comes to film awards before I consider moving forward. I would also appreciate if you could add AMAA to your To-do list catalog.

Thanks for the info on the Gadgets, based on my calculations you should still be in bed by now lol.
I actually know time is lost as you move westwards but I was typing too fast before I discovered my mix-up, I guess its one of the reasons why I need to be more careful before clicking save since you said nothing can ever be deleted completely on Wikipedia.
I understand the fact that you are only into African Music but it's always thrilling and adventurous to go out of your comfort zone at times. Being an active Wikipedian is an unusual deed for me.
Concerning the Image, I guess if the director of the movie gives Wikipedia the go-ahead to publish the image via email it would sort things out. And you should not have blue-linked the image uploader (She might not like it).
I should start immediately on The Headies yearly articles and update you my relevant progress but if you have no problem getting the nominee list I guess I might just leave it for you for now.

I know you told me you don't know much about African films but this is more about a Wikipedian trying to know what kind of information is eligible for Wikipedia. A renowned Nigeria film maker Teco Benson directed a film titled Blood Diamond years before the Hollywood version, I can remember listening to a live interview on National Radio (97.7 Metro FM) some years ago after he got honoured by the Federal Government(MFR) when he was lamenting that his intellectual property(Same story line, same title, etc) was being used unjustly and he also said he was sad that he was not even contacted before the Hollywood version. I am about to include something on this on Teco Benson's page but because of the controversial nature of the topic I just felt you should know first and tell me what you think. I know the Radio interview would not be sufficient for Wikipedia standard and since you always ask for links and sources before anything, here is an interview he did sometime ago where the issue was briefly discussed. http://www.nigeriafilms.com/news/4271/16/blood-diamonds-hollywood-stole-my-movie-title-teco.html

You are an editor I look up to on Wikipedia and I always respect your opinion and views at all times whether its convenient or not. but I don't think I have done or said anything wrong here. I did not use any vulgar/foul term on the Wikipedian. To be frank for a moment I was even thinking that the apology was meant to go the other way. If you can explain to me where i said anything that was insulting or derogatory and is deserving of an apology it would make it easier for me to tender an apology and perhaps in the long run better my understanding on how Wikipedia guidelines and code of conduct works. thank you.

Hi, versace1608. Thanks for cautioning me on my recent edits. After confirming the inline citations to Davido's alma mater on his biographical article, I learnt that he actually did not graduate from Oakwood University. His graduate status from Babcock University remains unclear. However, my reasons for including Davido in the alumni categories of Oakwood and Babcock Universities were based on the fact that he was a former student who attended the institutions. An alumnus may not necessarily have graduated from an institution, but must have attended the institution for a significant period of time.
Because of Wikipedia's WP:3RR, I can't revert your edit. You need to stop making unconstructive edits to the P-Square article. I appreciate the info you added, but you must add the info at the end of the sentence in the personal life section. You do not have the right to add that anywhere you please. This is a violation of Wikipedia's WP:MOS. I will remove the contents you added later. Assuming that no one else edits the article, I will revert the edits you made and make the article look neater again. If you somehow come back and undo my edit, your IP address can get block from editing. versace1608 ( talk) 00:17, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

@ Davidwr: Can you please get an adminstrator to block Thesunshinesate? I really think he/she needs to be block temporarily for edit warring the Ghana article. The user also left personal attack comments on Tubers' talk page in this . versace1608 ( talk) 15:44, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
That comment has been disputed since 2013 me and several others have worked very hard on the article to make it neutral..claiming international accounts of corruption with no proof and adding references from entertainment sites in an anti government rant is not something that is suppose to be in an wiki article. Those sources are not even approved based on wikis standards, What is your reason for trying to come against me? Because the other editor is your friend you can fish around to get people to get me blocked all you want. you can not bully people from contributing Thesunshinesate ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:50, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
I am finding it difficult retrieving the nominee list for Headies 2006 from my archive. I don't know how we are gonna finish all sections without that info now. I personally do not like incomplete articles. Darreg ( talk) 11:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

If someone had told me 5 months ago that I would be an active Wikipedian in 2014, I would have said Manchester United would win the Premiership in return but right now I have discovered so many reasons why I should remain active (at least for now) and you are very instrumental to that effect. Good improvements you've made to The Headies and other African music related article. Darreg ( talk) 14:51, 3 April 2014 (UTC) |
Please take a look at my plot summary for the first 29 minutes of The Meeting (film) and tell me what you think about the tone and destination of the writeup. So you know, in case it sucks Its actually my first time writing something like this. I know its not your field and I was even waiting for User:Jamie Tubers review but I guess he is pretty occupied these days since he has not made any edit in a while hence my directing it to you. I don't have any previous knowledge on plot summaries so pardon me if it's wack. Darreg ( talk) 08:54, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

I actually planned on expanding the article more in due time, I left so many things out and tried to concentrate on the most important. I actually never knew they were related until recently. I am currently having a civil disagreement regarding the age of Tamara Eteimo on its talk page. Since you are very familiar with both me and User_Talk:Stanleytux, I don't think it is against Wikipedia guidelines if you drop a comment on the talk page, your input will be much appreciated (at least from my end).

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.
I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
This applies to infoboxes, too.
Thanks, and my best wishes.

Hello. I can state authoritatively that Davido is still a Backcock University Student and he is due for graduation this year (even though he has been to classes only once this semester). To the best of my knowledge about the meaning of an Alumni, it should only apply to people that at a time attended a university but are no longer a student. If someone is still a student that person CANNOT also be an alumni at the same time. I suggest that if you cannot find any source that claims that he has dropped out or that he has graduated then he should be removed as an alumni of the school. thanks.

While working on Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Film I noticed that the French Wikipedia alone contained several articles that I wanted to Wikilink, I am just wondering why there are no bots that translates these articles to English since notability is constant across all languages.

Hi! Would you care to review or comment/vote (support/oppose) at my FA nomination for the article New York Dolls (album)? Information on reviewing an FA nomination's criteria is available at WP:FACR. If not, feel free to ignore this message. Cheers! Dan56 ( talk) 04:10, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
The |image_size=
parameter in templates based on
Template:Infobox person should normally be left blank. See
Template:Infobox person/doc#Parameters for details. I have restored
Iyanya's |image_size=
to blank.

I noticed how spontaneous you were in updating the winners of the MAMA Awards, I am just curious, is there MTV Base in the US? or does the worldwide MTV also show the MAMA Awards? because I know it was not streamed online. Darreg ( talk) 07:17, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
