According to the U.S. National Park Service this park is the most visited U.S. national park. This information was provided in the NPS newsletter on 14-Aug-2006. As this is not an online reference, this information has not added to the article. Solarapex 10:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC). reply

Wow, it seems funny responding to a comment 10 years after the fact, but here goes: There are now plenty of online references that show GSMNP is the most-visited park in the system. Therefore, I will add the info, which is quite noteworthy, to the lead. Pistongrinder ( talk) 16:56, 24 August 2016 (UTC) reply
My bad. It's already there, hidden in the middle of that clunky paragraph. Pistongrinder ( talk) 17:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Retreating northern forests

While I know this is not a page one would associate with a heated debate about global warming/climate change, this passage:

"During the most recent ice age, the northeast-to-southwest orientation of the Appalachian mountains allowed species to migrate southward along the slopes rather than finding the mountains to be a barrier. As climate warms, many northern species are now retreating upward along the slopes and withdrawing northward, while southern species are expanding."

certainly suggests a particular view on the issue and leads one to believe the current trend is one that has us headed back to normalcy. I don't agree and neither does most of the scientific community. Batvette ( talk) 06:24, 19 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Feel free to re-word if you have a proper citation. I'm not sure who wrote the original paragraph, but I don't think they were trying to suggest that a thinner northern forest is "normal" for the Smokies. Bms4880 ( talk) 14:44, 19 July 2008 (UTC) reply
never mind, he was right and I was wrong.(reminds self, check your own facts before calling others' wrong.) Batvette ( talk) 04:31, 17 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Great Smoky Mountains National Park/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

==Importance==

Top importance. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is well known in and beyond Tennessee. As a UNESCO world heritage site a top importance is adequate.

==Quality== B-Class. The article is well structured. Images are used to illustrate the topic and links to related topics are relevant. No redundant information and clear language.

References are used but could be extended to cover more of the facts stated in the article. Sub-headers could make it easier to find relevant information without reading the complete article.

==Comment==

Not far from a GA (Good Article) rating.
