I removed most of the references indicating the metric conversion of six acres, leaving only the one in the introduction paragraph. The reason for this is when I reference the 'original six acres' I am doing so as a reference point as to the location in the cemetery, not necessarily as a statement of geographic land area (although the name I use is obviously also indicative of the area of land it occupies). Basically for lack of a better term for the original six acres, I just refer to it as such and thus feel that it is inappropriate and possibly distracting to give a unit conversion every time it is mentioned. -- uberpenguin 13:32, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)
If it is necessary to use metric land measurements, hectares should be used whenever acres are used. Using square meters is not appropriate unless the other measurement is in square feet. 130.13.18.112 ( talk) 22:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC) 130.13.18.112 ( talk) 22:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)John Paul Parks 130.13.18.112 ( talk) 22:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Love this wonderful article on Oakland! However, the opening line says "Oakland Cemetery is Atlanta, Georgia, USA's oldest and largest cemetery as well as its fourth largest green space (behind Freedom, Piedmont and Grant Parks)." I was under the impression that the City's largest park was Chastain Park.
The fact that Maynard Jackson is buried in the cemetery makes me wonder whether Oakland Cemetery was ever segregated. In many places in the South, in the old days, whites and blacks were never buried in the same cemetery, or if they were, there would be separate sections. Does anyone know if there is a separate historical black section in the cemetery, from the days of racial segregation? 130.13.18.112 ( talk) 22:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)John Paul Parks 130.13.18.112 ( talk) 22:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Never mind. I just enlarged the map, and that answered my question!!! 130.13.18.112 ( talk) 22:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)John Paul Parks 130.13.18.112 ( talk) 22:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
