... that the Comoé National Park Research Station (pictured) is one of the most modern field stations in Africa?

ALT1:... that the Comoé National Park Research Station (pictured) is located in the Comoé National Park in Côte d'Ivoire?

New enough and long enough, but ALT0 is unreferenced and ALT1 is extremely dull. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 01:51, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

And there's also copyvio. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 01:53, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

@ Jakob thank you for your time in reviewing the article. The info based on Alt0 is derived from the Homepage of the research station and the Information posted on the Africa centre page of the University of Würzburg (references 4 and 6). I have also searched for a published reference and came a long a presentation from the conference of the Society of Tropical Biology (GTÖ) in 2015, within the abstracts its states that fact, unfortunately it is not viewable online (i have the hard copy of the abstracts booklet), it should be put up online soon though since prior abstract books are viewable (reference 5). I also saw that I didnt mention that fact in the main article (only in the introductory summary, which was previously referenced but removed due to wiki format policies), so I included it at the end of the history section properly referenced. I tried to reduce the copyviolations as much as possible by rephrasing the text but I feel I reached a point were I am literally only stating facts that can not be properly rephrased (like the amount of publications, or reciting the facilities at the station). Hope its ok now (and I agree ALT1 is indeed a bit dull, although I believe ALT0 should be fine now). Thanks, --ETF89 (talk) 21:25, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Sorry this slipped my mind. There's still a bit of close paraphrasing, such as "Linsenmair in 1989/90 and has since then become one of the most modern field stations in Africa, with electricity, running water, Internet and a large climatised laboratory." and "over 100 scientists from more than 20 international research institutions used the research station" that I think could be made a little more distant from the source. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 14:57, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

@ Jakob Done. The copyvio also shows now for the homepage source only 35% (violation unlikely). Thanks again. --ETF89 (talk) 15:40, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

@ETF89 and BlueMoonset: I meant to approve this, but somehow it slipped my mind. Apologies for the wait; if it happens again, do feel free to ping me. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 22:02, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
