Proper name

Moved this back from United States Park Service which is not a real name. Article title should be the actual name of the organization. Ark30inf 02:44, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)

N.P. Service and N.P. System

I am considering reworking this piece, merging it with U.S. National Park (that would become a redirect). The distinction between the National Park Service (gov't agency) and National Park System (collection of properties managed by the agency) seems insufficient for two different articles.

My idea is to restructure this article into a portion for the agency, and a portion for system that it manages. No new content, just moving bits around. Any thoughts, pro or con? — Eoghanacht 17:04, 2005 Apr 11 (UTC)

I agree with your proposal, and I am re-proposing the changes you suggested. Hotstreets 04:09, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Disagree - This article deals more with administration and operations while the related article provides place-based historical perspective. Leave cross-linked without merging.

Re-Working and Merging

Over the holiday break I will start to re-work this article to make it more apporiate

Just a quick brainstorm, it will include 1.Structure of NPS(Regions) 2.History 3. Controversy 4. New National Parks 5. Link to a listing of all national parks 6. and some other smaller sections

... Was this supposed to happen in 2005? Brutannica 01:59, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Differences

What are the differences between national parks, national monuments, national historic sites, etc.? I always wondered -- I know national park is higher in status than national monument, but what's the qualifier? And I know of Tumacacori, which used to be a national monument but became a national historical park. And is there a difference between "historic site" and "historic park?"

Hi Brutannica, this is the link you are looking for: http://www.nps.gov/legacy/nomenclature.html Nationalparks 13:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Redirects

Redirecting "parkitecture" to this page makes little sense since "parkitecture" refers to the practice of building structures within national parks which are representations of the landscapes around them, not to the NPS itself. I can write up a "parkitecture" page but I am unsure how to un-redirect it. Starlady42

Just go here and get rid of the redirect line. Then edit away. Good luck! Nationalparks 16:47, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Lots of Bold Words

Anyone know why so many internal links were in bold? I fixed them, but still am curious. RebDrummer61 alalala! [21:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)]

Corruption within the National Park Service

The newly added section appears to be defamatory in nature, and when applied to the whole Department libel, and should be removed. Tedickey ( talk) 20:30, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Agreed and removed again. Vsmith ( talk) 20:44, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
It's back. Perhaps the editor should be blocked. Tedickey ( talk) 21:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
