Talk:Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge

Lots done already
I guess I am swamped elsewhere, as I hadn't noticed this article going up so quickly. I'll continue to assist as I can. Let's try to avoid too many numbers in the intro...I think readers do better without too many numerical figures overall. I converted some to square kilomters but others may prefer to see hectares used instead...it just makes for huge numbers when using hectares for larger acreage conversions. I have no idea how much 431 million board feet is converted to metric...either that or I forgot.--MONGO 12:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

GA on hold
To be done:
 * 1) Change 'Cited Refernces' to References
 * 2) Reference 5 appears not to work Referenced another existing citation that contained the info
 * 3) Fix North Entrance red link
 * 4) More refs for facilities
 * 5) Introduce wikilinks in 'Facilities'
 * 6) More info where possible (may not be needed)

Must be done in 7 days (finish 09 March 07) or article will fail GDon4t0 20:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

As progress has been made and i am taking into account the time needed to complete changes i am willing to extend the hold status for this article until 16 March 2007. Please ensure changes are made within this time frame or this article will fail. --Bradelle2619 12:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Possibly need to withdraw GA nomination?
In fixing the reference 5 item above, I just noticed that a good bit of this article's text is copied word for word. Might need closer inspection to see if that is the case across the board. Since I nominated the article (I haven't done any editing to it really before now), I'd like someone else to give their opinion. --Roswell native 21:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely i think that further review and editing would be needed for a pass. I recommend a withdraw until the questionable content is actioned appropriately --Bradelle2619 05:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I just withdrew this nomination as this article is a cut and paste from its sources. Let me know if I did the withdrawal incorrectly from the GAC page. Also, I'll put a tag on this article to indicate it has been copied and pasted from the sources. --Roswell native 02:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The content of .gov websites are usually in the public domain so I've removed the copypaste template. —dv82matt 05:57, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Acres and Visitors
I have updated the additional land acquired on the east side of the refuge, which puts the current acres at 402,000. Check www.fws.gov/okefenokee to verify that this this true. In addition, Okefenokee NWR consistently claims to have 400,000 visitors per year.
