Mongolian yurts
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Mongolian yurts, may be copied from http://mongolian-yurt.com/Yurt-history.html. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 15:40, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Duplication
Cindy,

Wikipedia already has an article on the topic of yurts. If you would like to expand on the existing article with any reliably sourced material you may have, please do so, but please do not create a new article on an existing topic. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:47, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
