Renewable energy in Africa

Nice edit, why did you remove so much? (comment by PriusDriver (Talk | contribs) at 23:57, 9 June 2000 moved here by Gralo)

Hi PriusDriver. I don't like removing content, because I know how much work it takes to write it, especially when it's as well referenced at this article. But to answer your question, my aim was to sharpen the focus of the article.

Some of the main things I edited out were overlaps with existing articles (you'll see I've added 'see also' links to these articles instead). In the case of geothermal content there was some good additional information that I moved to the geothermal energy article. If I were writing an essay or report then I'd want all the background information, but due to the hyperlinks duplication can be reduced (which also makes it easier to update things in the future).

Also, because I changed the structure to separate out the 'resources' from the 'energy use' into separate sub-sections, I felt that the information could be found without the need to repeat some of it.

If you think there is something vital that would be better added back (or added to another article), then do go ahead. I didn't cross-check every word on wind turbines with the existing articles on wind turbines, for example, so there may be some information that could be added to those articles. If you're unsure then feel free to discuss it on my talk page if you prefer. Either way, do keep contributing!

Incidentally, the following links may also be of some help, though you seem to be going well anyway:

In case you've not discovered it yet, I should have added that you can access the previous versions through the links on this page, should you want to do some cut and pasting... Gralo 12:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
