Hello,
Thank you for your review.
I am writing this comment as unfortunately I cannot agree with your point of view. Having been actively involved in the research of the Guyana/Venezuela region for some years myself, I prepared a separate article about Waukauyengtipu in order to clear up the nomenclatural inaccuracies being spread in available sources, basing my information on tangible results of exploration on site. Truth is that information about Mount Venamo is vague and mostly based on very old, fragmented pieces of information coming in most part from an old expedition made there by J.A. Steyermark in 1960s. The sources provide much better information about Waukauyengtipu rather than Mount Venamo, thanks to D. Clarke's Waukauyengtipu botanical expedition from 1997 - so there is no point in providing information about Waukauyengtipu in a Mount Venamo article. The claim that both mountains are the same thing was put in the Mount Venamo article without having any basis in professional sources has since led to strong confusion, even within the scientific community - having a separate article about Waukauyengtipu will help stop spreading misinformation about the geography of the region.
Another reason why I am so strongly convinced about my case is that I personally led an expedition to Waukauyengtipu mountain in January 2018, confirming my claims regarding the nomenclature with local Indigenous communities and supplementing to the observations made by the 1997 Smithsonian expedition.
I hope you will reconsider your decision. I will be happy to provide any more information should there be a need to do so.

What I wrote was that you should expand the existing article with regard to the question of whether there is one mountain or two. You are saying that there are two mountains. The article says that there are different opinions. It appears that you are proposing to create a second article that states a different opinion than the first article. That would be what is known in Wikipedia as a content fork, which would essentially be to have two articles that argue with each other. Wikipedia doesn't do that. We do not knowingly have two articles that state different things. If I have misunderstood, please clarify. In any case, you should present your information on the talk page of the existing article, at Talk: Mount Venamo. Perhaps the article should be renamed or split, but that should be discussed at the talk page of the existing article.

Also, you state that you have done your own research in the region. Has that research been published? If so, you can cite the journal or other medium in which your research was published. If it has not been published, then please read the policy about original research.

If you think that there is incorrect information in the existing article, it should be updated based on the latest published research, rather than having two articles that argue with each other.

I will be requesting the comments of other experienced editors at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:20, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
