Problem with article
Hallo, and welcome to English Wikipedia. One major problem with your article Gussjön was that you did not tell us what it is or where it is. I have found, by Googling, a lake in Sweden of that name and I'm assuming that was what you were writing about. Next time you start an article, please remember to start with an opening line telling us what the topic is: "The Thames is a river in England" or "Nick Clegg (born nnnn) is a British politician." If you look around the encyclopedia you will see the pattern to follow.

Another problem is that the article doesn't make a lot of sense at present. Could you please have another look at it and make it clearer.

A third problem is that you do not give any source for your information. Please give a reference to the book or website where you got your information. Thanks. PamD (talk) 16:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
