What the dew is to the flower,
Gentle words are to the soul,
And a blessing to the giver,
And so dear to the receiver
We should never withhold.
Gentle words, kindly spoken,
Often soothe the troubled mind,
While links of love are broken
By unkind words.
Then O, thou gentle spirit,
My constant Guardian be,
"Do to others," be my motto,
"As I'd have them do to me."
- Polly Rupe
About me
Hello! I'm User:M-Mustapha previously User:The Living love. I'm Wikipedian and loving it!
In real life, I studied Urban Planning and have done several certificate courses on Computer studies, programming and web design.
I'm a Wikipedia reader ever since but started contributing at around late September 2017 when I first registered an account after stumbling through a stub article where at the bottom of it I found a note that says; "This article is a stub, you can help expand it" that's how the journey begins. I am mostly active on Wikipedia, Wikidata, Commons, Wiktionary and Meta.
In 2019, I initiated and co-founded the Hausa Wikimedians User Group and since then I've been coordinating and organising projects for the Group. I have love teaching all my life and found Wikipedia a great tool to do that and could help set the world free. I love being here and getting others involved too.
My work
You get a Mind the Gap Barnstar from us, for your great contribution in the WikiGap Challenge, and to the visibility of women on Wikipedia.
I create content pages as much as I can to fill the content gap of the under-represented African especially Nigeria. I also protect the wiki by patrolling new changes and reverting unconstructive, malicious edits, I use tool like the SW Viewer..
