Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Draft:Umuada, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed.

• You may consider nominating a fact from the article within the next 7 days to appear on the Main Page's Did you know section.
• Wikipedia is a work in progress. You can continue to expand and improve the new article.
• The new article will become eligible to be indexed on search engines once patrolled or after 90 days; search engines may take time to reflect this.
• For friendly peer support regarding editing, sourcing, or policies, visit the Teahouse, a question and answer hub for new editors.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

You removed places where I stated better source needed or citation needed even when not fulfilling any, use the talk page

Please re add. It seems you just want to brush over everything which is not how things are done. I'm not going to start manually find what wasnt improved on and what is which. Try to edit in good faith. This is something I'll be watching further because I'm not impressed by that. I may push for content dispute if adjustments aren't made.

Could you specify what part exactly is not properly sourced because I added multiple sources that support the contents which includes Ibo village affairs by MM Green discussing Igbo women's clothing, Nigerian Textiles by Venice, Nigerian Handcrafted textiles by Eicher, Ikenga Journal, Style and Substance: Why what we wear matters among others. The paragraphs are overloaded with verifiable citations that support the content. Please feel free to open a dispute if you still disagree. Regarding the images, I manually verified them on Wikimedia commons and they're uploads by owners who identify as Igbo women wearing Ichafu headdress. Please be specific with what exactly you're disputing. Dreune (talk) 00:31, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
