Draft article

[edit]
Resolved

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 of this article for community review. You can view my proposed draft here.

The current article looks developed, at first glance, but this is deceiving. The "History" section is a single paragraph with a single inline citation. The "Location, Access and Accommodation" section is entirely unsourced, and the last three paragraphs are particularly unencyclopedic. The African Parks website is used as 2 of 3 inline citations in the "Wildlife" section, one of which is not currently functioning. I'd say most of the sourcing throughout the article is (far) less than ideal. I've worked to create an accurate, neutral, and sourced overview of the park, its wildlife (including Lady Liuwa and the lion population), history, and tourism, similar to articles for other parks. African Parks has provided feedback to ensure accuracy.

I seek uninvolved editors to review the draft for accuracy and neutrality, and hope they'll conclude that the proposed draft is a major improvement over the existing article. @Cwmhiraeth: You've been helping with this series of article updates, and I wanted to bring this one to your attention as well, if you're interested.

As a reminder, 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) 15:25, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I've made a wholesale replacement with the proposed draft into mainspace. The proposed draft was clearly superior in every way to the original article which was largely sourced to non-RS. Chetsford (talk) 21:01, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Chetsford: Thank you very much for reviewing the draft. Unless you object, I'd like to remove this article from Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon/Core stubs - Zambia, since the article is no longer a stub. Thanks again for your help.

I do not object. Chetsford (talk) 21:05, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Done I should be sharing a draft for Zakouma National Park soon, if you are interested. Inkian Jason (talk) 21:08, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, Inkian Jason. Just ping me whenever. Chetsford (talk) 22:06, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
