WP:NOT a gallery of images. All images other than the amount that are in this article need to go to commons and be uploaded there and tagged with the Joshua Tree national park category. A link is at the bottom of the page. I have also removed all images that do not have source information. Please do not recreate the gallery, commons is the correct repository for this kind of material. pschemp | talk 18:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
This is obviously a self-interested question, but what is the purpose of the gallery tag if galleries are not allowed on WP? I understand the point re: the commons, but I've seen hundreds of galleries on WP articles, and in fact a number of the US national park articles feature a small collection of images illustrating various features and highlights of the park. If you found the gallery to be self serving, fine, but to make a blanket statement that galleries aren't allowed on WP doesn't exactly gel with the common use of the gallery tag.

you can't read the whole article the pictures are overlapping
i removed the gram parsons reference for a couple reasons. he was not a rock climber as stated, although he was enamored with joshua tree. the trivia regarding his connection with joshua tree and the failed cremation of his body are interesting, but there currently is no section in the article where this would fit, and it certainly doesn't belong in the climbing section. ikes 18:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
It surely doesnt fit in the climbing section, but Gram Parsons fascination and partial cremation at Joshua Tree are very significant and very much deserve a spot in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.51.201 ( talk) 23:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
There is a real imbalance with the photos, just way too many for the amount of text, especially the panaramas. They are gorgeous yes but too big and too many. Perhaps a Gallery section and a Commonscat link possibly? Marcia Wright ( talk) 14:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
A new Category:Southern Mojave-Salton region was created by an anonymous editor. It is tied to Category:Northern Mojave-Mono Lake region and overall Great Basin watershed, and interesting. Linked this article to it because: 1. The Park is in its zone; 2. For those not "hydrology topic-nomenclature oriented" it gives a known locater on the "Southern Mojave-Salton region index page." Honoring several "wiki-parentage lines" (Category stacking) to the Park with this link. Please discuss if incorrect or otherwise---- Look2See1 t a l k → 19:11, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Seriously, why the area of the park in acres?? OK to have, but what about more common usages, like square miles, or for the many visitors from out of country, square kilometers? Mccrorypilot ( talk) 04:54, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Jim Mc.

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 19 January 2022 and 20 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Mangodulce ( article contribs).
The "Climate" section concludes with a brief paragraph including the lines, "Joshua Tree is becoming hotter and drier due to climate change. From 1895 to 2016 the annual precipitation has dropped by 39% and the annual temperature has increased by 3 °F." I think this is unclear and perhaps uninformative. Appreciable climate change began well after 1895. If the 39% temperature change - which is huge - spanned the entire 121 years, the phases need to be broken down further. I am no expert. It looks like climate changes including warming became noticeable on a gross scale in the 1960s. One wants to know then, how much of the cited change happened since, say, 1960, how much before? The answer definitely affects the overall picture of things, and may raise other questions.. 2603:8001:7401:5E9B:F8A5:8521:C063:E47F ( talk) 21:08, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
