List of National Park System areas in Maryland
Self-nom. Based originally on the List of areas in the National Park System of the United States, though with the addition of dates of establishment. Geraldk 18:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Title is clearly misleading. There are no National Parks in Maryland. Circeus 19:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Circeus, one day I'll put together a list that meets your exacting requirements. And on that day, I will retire from wikipedia forever, triumphant at last :). What would you prefer that it be called: 'List of areas in the National Park System of the United States located in Maryland'? Geraldk 20:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've changed the title and redirected. Better? Geraldk 20:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, better. The lead could still use some enlargement. Also the source does not actually cover establishment dates. And please remember to bullet your "see also"s... Circeus 01:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * And FLC is a cakewalk compared to FAC, much less FPC. Although I admit it's getting thougher. Now if only I could get that silly Adygea list de-featured >.> Circeus 01:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've been through FAC, and there's a reason I prefer it here. Slight lead expansion. Referenced dates - though I could not find any sources that referenced a specific date for Fort Foote, so I referenced it as circa 1946. I'm sure the source is out there, and I'm sure 1946 is right, but I can't connect the two. Grounds for FLC failure? Geraldk 01:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I've got it. In 1930, the Capper-Cramton Act transferred it in the custody of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital, and latter, in 1933, it was transferred to what would become the NPS in that year's reorganization that disbanded various organisms, including the Public Parks of the National Capital. See here. latter on the page, 1940 is given as the transfer date, though... Where did you get your c. 1946 date? Circeus 21:02, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * My reading of that and the other sources I could find is that the Capper-Cramton Act allowed for the transfer to happen when the Fort was no longer necessary for military purposes. But there's sourcing that says it was still used as a training site in WW2, so I can't imagine the transfer happening before then. I think the web's shot for sources on this one, and we'd really have to go to the National Archives to find the info, or hope there's some obscure reference to it in some book on national parks. I'll try to look. Geraldk 14:20, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I'll support now. Circeus 16:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Support: Meets all the criteria. Looking at the infobox for protected areas, the one other piece of data that you might want to include in the list is size/area of each place. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BirgitteSB (talk • contribs).
