List of national memorials of the United States

 * Nominator(s): Reywas92Talk 22:10, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

This was originally just going to be the National Park Service units like List of national lakeshores and seashores of the United States but then I doubled my workload with the memorials that are independently operated but don't receive the billing the NPS sites do. Congress is quite inconsistent with naming sites as "national memorials" as they either authorize construction of memorials or commemorative works that may or may not be built or other times name an existing site, so I read a lot of legislation during this project. Anyway I look forward to your comments. Reywas92Talk 22:10, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

All I got. Great job on this! – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 19:23, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comments from BeatlesLedTV
 * Many links need to be fixed; some green some blue, many redirects, and one dead link
 * "The National Park Service manages 30 national memorial as official units." → memorials
 * The link "other national monuments" doesn't go anywhere
 * "Area [9][8]" → remove space
 * You use "U.S." in some instances and "US" (no periods) in others. Make sure it's consistent
 * Why no area for Pearl Harbor?
 * "Thaddeus Kosciuszko" ".02 acres" → "0.02 acres"
 * Center all the image cols
 * Put en dashes in squares with no images
 * All done. Pearl Harbor is brand new so the NPS Index doesn't have the area but it's the same as the Hawaii portion of the former World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. I don't know what the blue ELs are supposed to mean or how to fix the 'connection issue'; I can open those links from the article just fine. Reywas92Talk 07:15, 5 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Support – yeah they work for me too. The only thing I can think of is to archive everything. Anyways great job on this! – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 19:25, 6 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:22, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * "The affiliated areas are in four states (two additional)" - not sure what "two additional" means here, similarly for "five additional" later......
 * Additional to the 15 states the NPS memorials are in, not sure how else to concisely put it.
 * Maybe "The affiliated areas are in four states (including two which have no NPS memorials)"...? To me, just saying "(two additional)" isn't completely clear.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:10, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I went with "two additional beyond those with NPS memorials" Reywas92Talk 19:06, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Works for me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:33, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * "a white granite wall engraved with the named of the 40 victims" - typo on what should be "names" ✅
 * "Notable quotations.....are etched on granite walls and a 30 ft (9.1 m) sculpture of King" - are quotations actually etched on the sculpture as well as the walls, or are there some words missing here?
 * Yes, see image
 * "The majority of victims were Black" - don't think "black" needs a capital B
 * Not sure if the MOS addresses this
 * "having been exileed" - typo ✅
 * "what's left of the building's walls " => what is left.... ✅
 * "are surrounded by Wall of Honor" => "are surrounded by a Wall of Honor" ✅
 * "This is first museum dedicated to veterans" => "This is the first museum dedicated to veterans" ✅
 * That's all I have....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:04, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
