Talk:List of United States National Parks by state

Better list with images
See how the German Wikipedia California article (scroll down) has a neat list of parks, nicely presented, and happily seen here at featured status.

Sorting of the lists on this page
the lists on this page need to be sortable YOUareTIGERBAIT (talk) 23:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Missing parks
What about the Woman's rights national park? (UTC)
 * It's a National Historical Park, which is different from a "regular" National Park. Minor difference, but there you go. Duncan1800 (talk) 07:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Why...
...are there four or five separate but varying lists of US National Parks? Couldn't the info in these all be reasonably combined into one really comprehensive table on a single page? It's frustrating from a usage perspective to have to click multiple links to get more information that would easily fit in one article. I had considered editing the "main" list of areas in the United States National Park System to add in years, land area, etc, but I didn't want to disturb what (for some reason) is apparently a featured list. Comments appreciated. Duncan1800 (talk) 07:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

New unified list
I think, and am going to go all the way to Wikiproject Protected Areas with this, that we should create a page very similar to National Monuments of the United States with a table just like that one. I'll draw up a sandbox for it. The National Parks deserve a better page than this. -- Hurricane ERIC - Class of '08: XVII Maius MMVIII 21:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

- Agreed that there are too many lists. The problem that needs to be overcome is how do people search for information? The List of United States National Parks by state assumes that people know which state they're interested in or where the park is to begin with. It also assumes that people are only interested in THE "national parks", not the other parks, like Women's Rights, which are operated by the National Park Service but are title differently, i.e., National Historical Park.

Then there is the list List of areas in the United States National Park System that assumes you may be interested in any one of the 390+ areas that are considered National Parks. It also assumes that you know whether the area is a National Historical Park or a National Battlefield. Or it assumes you're interested in a group of parks which would have a common title, i.e., National Seashores.

The List of the United States National Park System official units assumes again that you know the state where the park is located. None of these work for all situations. The only one that might would be alphabetical by name. Then the table could provide the other information, which these tables do. (Chris Light (talk) 18:59, 12 December 2008 (UTC))

seems like everyone agrees these could be merged.
next time I have a spare hour or two, I'll do so. Speak up if you disagree... dm (talk) 19:53, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Retitle this page and delete List by Date
With the new sortable list, the List by Date is redundant, and can be deleted.

This page should be RETITLED LIST of United States National Parks.
