This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
On behalf of African Parks via the Wyss Foundation, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am submitting an expanded and updated draft for consideration. You can view my proposed draft here.
The current article includes a significant amount of unsourced content. The "History" section has just two inline citations, displayed after just the section's last sentence. The "Flora", "Fauna", and "Tourism" sections are unsourced in their entirety. I've worked to create an accurate, neutral, and appropriately sourced overview of the park, including its history, wildlife, partnerships, and tourism. I believe all the sources used to create the draft are appropriate, and African Parks has provided feedback to ensure accuracy.
I seek uninvolved editors to review the draft for accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability, and hope they'll conclude that the proposed draft is a vast improvement over the existing article. If reviewing the draft in its entirety is problematic, I'm happy to break this edit request into multiple requests to make reviewing easier. I plan to notify WikiProject Malawi of this edit request, and may reach out to editors at WikiProject Protected areas, too, if needed.
This edit request is part of a series to create and expand several Wikipedia articles related to African Parks. You can learn more here: User:Inkian Jason/African Parks. Thank you. Inkian Jason ( talk) 17:46, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Smmurphy. On behalf of the nonprofit organization African Parks via the Wyss Foundation, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I've submitted an expanded and updated draft of the Liwonde National Park article for consideration at Talk:Liwonde National Park. I am looking for someone to review this draft for accuracy and neutrality, and to copy over content appropriately as a replacement of the current article, which is almost entirely unsourced. Since you're a recent member of WikiProject Africa, I thought I'd reach out to see if you are interested in taking a look at the proposed draft. My requests for help at several WikiProjects have gone unanswered for a while now. Might you be willing to take a look at the draft? Thanks for your consideration.

@ Smmurphy: I've copied over the discussion from your user talk page, per your request. Thanks again for your willingness to help. 15:58, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
@ Smmurphy: Thank you very much for copying over the draft. I have just 2 requests: 1) Are you willing to remove the tag at the top of the article which reads, "This article contains content that is written like an advertisement", now that the text has been updated? 2) Reference #33 needs some formatting help (my fault!) This diff shows how to make the inline citation display properly. Otherwise the article looks great! Thanks again for reviewing the draft and for updating the article. Inkian Jason ( talk) 15:30, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
@ Smmurphy: Thanks again. I have some additional requests:
Thanks again for your work on this article. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:11, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
@ Smmurphy: Would you be willing to change " Majete Game Reserve" to " Majete Wildlife Reserve" in the "Elephants" section, since the Wikipedia article has been moved (see Talk:Majete Wildlife Reserve)? I am trying to update links throughout the encyclopedia, but I don't edit articles directly because of my conflict of interest. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello again. I noticed an anonymous editor made an unsourced addition to this Wikipedia article. I wanted to offer a citation to help verify the claim, and I've altered the wording slightly, based on the source provided below. There are other sources available to use, if this one does not meet standards.
I propose the following markup for the "Big cats" section (no changes to the current first paragraph, so you can focus on the green text):

In May 2017, African Parks relocated four cheetahs from South Africa, becoming Malawi's first wild cheetahs in twenty years. [1] [2] The two female and two male cheetahs were the first large predators to be reintroduced to the park, after being absent from this part of the country for around a century. [2] [1] Endangered Wildlife Trust's Cheetah Metapopulation Project and DNPW assisted with the relocation. [2] Liwonde park officials had hoped to introduce female lions in 2012. The last reported sighting of a male lion was in 2015. [3] Park officials still planned to reintroduce lions and leopard, as of 2017. [1] [4] In February 2018, African Parks relocated two male lions from Majete to Liwonde. The DNPW, the Dutch Government, and the Lion Recovery Fund assisted with the relocation, and there are plans to introduce as many as twelve more lions from South Africa. [5] |

@ Smmurphy: Since you helped implement the proposed draft, do you want to take a quick look at this article improvement, too? As a reminder, I am working with African Parks via Wyss Foundation to improve several Wikipedia articles about Africa's national parks. Thanks. Inkian Jason ( talk) 17:06, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Raminhaqiqinia: Regarding this series of edits, do you mind sharing any sources describing the park as "Livond National Park"?
@ Smmurphy: I am bringing this to your attention as well, in case you are interested.
If sourcing cannot be provided, I think mention of Livond should be removed. Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 19:47, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
