Perhaps there should be mention of the fact that, according to NPS policy, any areas that are recommended for Wilderness Preservation Status must be treated as Wilderness until congress votes Yes or No on the recommendation.
"The National Park Service will take no action that would diminish the wilderness eligibility of an area possessing wilderness characteristics until the legislative process of wilderness designation has been completed. Until that time, management decisions will be made in expectation of eventual wilderness designation. This policy also applies to potential wilderness, requiring it to be managed as wilderness to the extent that existing nonconforming conditions allow."

ESmith3 ( talk · contribs · count) You did an excellent job expanding on the intro of the article. I thought you made it very informative without over doing it by keeping it short and to the point. You added a lot of very interesting things under the history, such as The Great Swamp in New Jersey being the first designated wilderness refuge in the US and that the Elkhorn Ridge Wilderness is the newest one to be protected by this act. The “Leave No Trace” policy was a great thing to add because I don’t think many people would have even considered some of those rules as helping preserve the areas. You did a great job stating which states had the highest number of preserves, but when it was based on acreage it changed the list. I thought that was interesting. Adding all of the laws and policies was also very informative. You greatly improved the page overall by covering a lot of topics and expanding on others.

The Wilderness Act actually does NOT prohibit bicycling in Wilderness Areas, though bicycling is usually not allowed by regional managers. This is the finding of a recent extensive report as discussed below:
I am interested in other Wikipedians thoughts on how to handle this in this article, as the article currently states rather bluntly "In general, the law prohibits logging, mining, roads, mechanized vehicles (including bicycles), and other forms of development." - the dharma bum 21:31, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Should the California Wilderness Act of 1984 and the most recent expansion, the Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act be added to this article? or is that too state-specific? Marcia Wright ( talk) 00:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
This page is in contradiction with this website in reference to the largest wilderness area in the continental US: http://www.wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=fastfacts&error=404 I'm new to wikipedia and don't know what the procedure is on this... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.91.144.12 ( talk) 01:14, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello I am a Georgia Gwinnett College student interested in editing this article. I noticed a lack of sub information regarding the actual sites outlined by the legislation and would like to add a section with more links to the actual wilderness sites themselves. There is a wiki page listing the links to the actual sites which would be a helpful link to highlight on this page, but specific notable examples and a brief fact/history section for each could allow this page to grow to more then a source for the law that designated them. If this seems too specific then please let me know, i am new to wiki editing and have much to learn. Also as this is a work in progress i will revisit the talk page with additional ideas that come across in my research for this topic. jonathandemart ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:36, 19 February 2012 (UTC).
