Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Lake Nyos into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Gorthian (talk) 17:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Lake Nyos Disaster


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Lake Nyos Disaster. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Lake Nyos. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Lake Nyos – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:40, 22 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I removed the deletion tag on the new article, but you must improve and refine it soon, or it will be deleted. Duplicate articles are not allowed on Wikipedia, and that's all this is right now. I do agree that the disaster should have its own article. However, if the disaster is all that makes Lake Nyos notable, then the article about the lake is the article about the disaster, and the new article should be deleted. — Gorthian (talk) 17:52, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
