List of Florida state parks[edit]

Featured list candidates/List of Florida state parks/archive1

Nominator(s): Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 13:42, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because...Florida has such a wonderful state park system, and many parks are under utilized. Featured lists are viewed by more people, and I want everyone to know about these Florida gems. Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 13:42, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I don't think the parks listed twice with blank entries except for remarks saying "see XX State Park" should be included. Just use the official park name.

--commented out original park names Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 15:52, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Check for consistency in the remarks section - the first word should always be in caps.

--capitalized first word of comments where needed Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 15:52, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Convert all units in the remarks as well, including temperatures, million gallons, etc. They should be imperial units first, metric second.

--changed Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 14:22, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stats such as "5,100 acre plantation" where the unit of measure is singular should be displayed as "5,100-acre plantation" using adj=on.

--changed Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 14:22, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Link to specific species and other features mentioned in the remarks.

--changed Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 14:22, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

References are needed for everything in each park's remarks.
All images should have alternative text.

More comments to come as revisions are made. Fredlyfish4 (talk) 01:01, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the US dates are usually written month/day/year. Perhaps change this in the refs?

--Within the reference template, the accessdate is automatically formatted as 17 July 2013. The date of the reference work is free format, which I include as July 17, 2013.

All dates should be written in a similar fashion → 2012-05-19 or May 31, 2012.
Add {{Use mdy dates|date=July 2013}} {{Use American English|date=July 2013}}
Ref 1 → add Florida Department of Environmental Protection as the publisher. Also wikilink it the first time its used.

There is a column of white space below the map, please fix the formatting so the text will wrap.
"There are 161" is meaningless; the source should be moved to after "Florida" to cite the actual fact.
-> "and it won the Gold Medal, ->"it was also a finalist"
The sentence starting with "Many parks offer" is rather awkward, especially the third clause, and should be rewritten.
No quotation marks around conservation areas and historical/archaeological sites, which should be lowercase
"Left mouse click..." is unnecessary; it doesn't need to be pointed out that pictures can't be sorted.
"Water body" -> Body of Water. "Bodys" is not the plural form...just the singular is fine.
Lowercase manatee.
-> Florida cracker
Great work on the table.
