Talk:People's Park (Berkeley)/to do


 * Check all sources, and, if needed, rewrite around what can be sourced.
 * Convert all sources to the citenews/citeweb format. (done for lead and 1.1)
 * Find Delacour's quote from section 1.1 on the new Stew Albert page, which is
 * Work out whether the University was consulted in the original meeting where the park was proposed.


 * Get more relevant images, especially ones of the demonstrations and police response.
 * Ask peoplespark.org for the copyrights to these, maybe.
 * Take images from BITS?
 * An image of the derelict plot would be useful


 * Improve government viewpoint, especially with sources


 * Source quotations, particularly from important people, like Albert, Delacour, Mario Savio, Reagan and Sheriff Madigan
 * Savio: "As I see it, the great hope implicit in the People's Park is that, in our leisure time, so to speak, we will make the social revolution. Property is not a thing to keep men apart and at war, but rather, a medium by which men can come to together to play; a People's Park.
 * Reagan: "This all began the first time some of you [referring to professors at UCB] let young people think they could choose the laws they could obey so long as they were doing it in the name of social protest." "Negotiate? What is to negotiate?  On [this] issue, don't you simply explain to these student that the University has a piece of property that it bought, for future construction of the campus and it was now going ahead with the plan?  What do you mean; negotiate?"


 * Divide section 1.2 into event based sections


 * It seems the article needs a discussion of the park's importance to the emergence of the ecology movement (important to the history of organic food). Along with the sod put in when the park was created was a food-producing garden.  Warren Belasco disscusses this in Appetite for Change.  More recently, Michael Pollan discusses it in The Omnivore's Dilemma (although mostly paraphrasing Belasco).


 * Please add more ideas! :)
