Should admissions and hours be included? That seems to be advertising to me, but I want to confirm before deleting. Thanks. Russianbolero 01:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed for Deletion on April 24, 2007[edit]

I'm ambivalent about this. Is a simple amusement park any less notable than a Pokemon card? Maybe yes. And this article does read like an advertisement. Contrast it with the nearby Strasburg Rail Road, a professionally written article but still encyclopedic. Simesa 06:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree that this reads like an advert, but considering the age and cultural impact of Dutch Wonderland I would assume that surely there must have been something notable? I cannot recall myself, but I could swear there is... Later today or tomorrow, I will see if I can at least tend to its obvious spam; and maybe I will try and scour the internet for some history. FYI to anyone else interested in improving this: nearby Hersheypark and Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom may make handy templates. --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 11:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:DutchWonderland.gif[edit]

Image:DutchWonderland.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Location[edit]

The infobox says "Lancaster, PA", which seems to be based on the park's mailing address.

The lede says, "just east of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in East Lampeter Township". This reflects what a map of Lancaster shows. The park is about 10-15 miles from the edge of the city proper.

Sources cited in the article are a mixed bag:

"...in Lancaster County" The Morning Call 1, The Morning Call 2
"...Lancaster area", "...east of the city of Lancaster" Images of Modern America: Dutch Wonderland
"Susquehanna Valley" WGAL-TV
"in Lancaster, PA" official site
"Middletown Township" Google Maps (see also [1]) - SummerPhD^v2.0 01:21, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ownership of Gift Shop at Kitchen Kettle Village[edit]

The introduction states that they also own a "Gift Shop at Kitchen Kettle Village". While this was definitely true at one point, I cannot find any evidence that this is still the case. Tech234a (talk) 18:08, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
