This article is far too poetic is terms and is obviously made only due to the recent headlines.

I suggest complete removal or a giant overhaul. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nordoisthebest (talk • contribs) 16:57, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have translated the French Wikipedia article into English, rewritten parts, added some more text and added references. The French text now shows that their information came from the English article and the English article says their information came from the French article! The previous Wikipedia article and a couple of the citations say the size of the Sambisa forest is 60,000 square kilometers. I copied this into the new article but personally I have my doubts. 60,000 square kilometers is an enormous area - the whole state of Borno is only 71,000 square kilometers. I wonder if somebody somewhere mixed up hectares and square kilometers (100 hectares = 1 square kilometer).SylviaStanley (talk) 16:46, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article says (actually I wrote): "The Sambisa Forest is a forest in northeastern Nigeria. It is in the southwestern part of Chad Basin National Park... The forest has an area of 60,000 square kilometres.." But the Wikipedia article on the Chad Basin National Park says "The Chad Basin National Park is a national park... with a total area of about 2,258 km²." Something is wrong here. How can the Sambisa forest with an area of 60,000 square kilometers be part of another park which is only 2,258 square kilometers in area? SylviaStanley (talk) 14:03, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
