Virginia state parks
Hello. Thanks for the work you did on List of Virginia state parks. It is a good review of the system's history; however, there are no citations to indicate where this information came from. When editing Wikipedia, it is important to cite sources in such bodies of information. Any material not cited, may be challenged and removed from Wikipedia. As such, much of your contribution may be at risk of deletion. If you need help on how to properly cite material, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page (click here). –Sparkgap (talk) 16:29, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
