Refresh of 175 state parks
Howdy, new here (to editing wiki and to Talk), want to help. I'm currently going through each page to update the links to their respective pages on the floridastateparks.org site. Going through the list of parks against the 175 parks in the latest passport and on the floridastateparks.org website, a few items: CedricCSCFL (talk) 12:17, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * DeSoto Site Historic State Park is no longer listed on the floridastateparks.org website. Do we need to delete it and its entry on the list, etc?
 * Fort Foster State Historic Site is part of Hillsborough River State Park (as noted in Remarks), but is not listed as one of the 175 state parks in the latest passport and other materials. It does have its own page on floridastateparks.org website, but the same could be said of the 17 Trail Sections of the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway. I believe that this entry on the list should be removed.
 * Should we/can we update park names to match the floridastateparks.org website?
 * "Gamble Plantation Historic State Park" to "Judah P. Benjamin Confederate Memorial at Gamble Plantation Historic State Park"
 * "George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier" to "George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park"
 * "Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park" to "Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park"
 * "John U. Lloyd Beach State Park" to "Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park"
 * "Lake June in Winter Scrub State Park" to "Lake June-in-Winter Scrub Preserve State Park"
 * "Okeechobee Battlefield State Park" to "Okeechobee Battlefield Historic State Park"
 * "St. George Island State Park" to "Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park"
 * Note: I moved "Troy Springs State Park" to "Troy Spring State Park"
 * "Weeki Wachee Springs" to "Weeki Wachee Springs State Park"
 * Missing Parks that are missing from table that should be added:
 * Ichetucknee Trace
 * Fernandina Plaza Historic State Park
 * Cockroach Bay Preserve State Park
 * Price's Scrub
 * Haw Creek Preserve State Park
 * Indian River Lagoon Preserve State Park
 * Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park "The park is being considered for future recreational development, however currently there are no facilities." from FL SP Passport book, #137
 * Beker - South Fork
 * Beker - Wingate Creek
 * Missing Trails that are missing from table that should be added:
 * Blackwater Heritage State Trail
 * Tallahassee - St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail
 * Suwanee River Wilderness State Trail
 * Nature Coast State Trail
 * Palatka-to-Lake Butler State Trail
 * Palatka to St. Augustine State Trail
 * Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway
 * Withlahoochee State Trail
 * General James A. Van Fleet State Trail
 * Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail


 * First, a procedural point, new entries (that are not responses to earlier posts) on talk pages should be placed at the bottom of the page, so I have moved your post to here.


 * If we have an article for an entity that used to be a state park, but no longer is, we should not delete the article, but instead edit it to indicate that it is no longer a state park and explaining, if possible, what its current status is.


 * When a state park name has changed from the title of its Wikipedia article, post a notice on the talk page proposing that the name of the article be changed. No need to make a formal Page Move proposal, just ask informally. If, after a week or two, there is no opposition, the page can be moved. If there are any objections to the name change, but there is also support, then a formal Page Move should be proposed. See Wikipedia:Moving a page for details. Note that when a page is moved a redirect is usually left behind so that links and searches continue to work as expected.


 * For state managed entities that you think deserve an article, feel free to create them, as long as you can find and use Wikipedia:Reliable sources supporting the contents of the articles. I would urge you to avoid creating one sentence stubs, however, and to find more than one informative reliable source for an article. - Donald Albury 14:08, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you Donald. I'll check out the couple help articles you mentioned and do some research and work on creating new articles! :) CedricCSCFL (talk) 14:54, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
