I reverted the list of recreational facilities. Most of them aren't particularly notable, and it felt very list-crufty to me. Would anyone else happen to have any thoughts on this? I certainly have no problem with listing some of the more notable ones, but that list just seemed out of control. -- Takeel 20:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Moving the list from the main page to here before I edit it down. I'll be back by this evening to take a stab at the list on the article itself. -- Pastordavid 20:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
I have severely trimmed the list. Actually, it is no longer a list, but moved to prose instead. There is no reason to include every little trailhead on Wikipedia, so it is now significantly shorter, with most of what was listed covered in the general statements made here. I also removed the many redlinks, and the links that directed to something unrelated to Wise county -- please check where a wikilink leads before adding it to the encyclopedia. I moved this link to the external links, rather than have it linked to two dozen times in the article. -- Pastordavid 16:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
The article being linked to on this page describes the term commonwealth in this context that even though Virginia is styled as a commonwealth, this has "no constitutional impact" on the fact that it's still a state. An actual United States Commonwealth is "a type of organized but unincorporated dependent territory", and Virginia definitely does not fit that definition. Therefore, Virginia is not a commonwealth in the official sense, but a commonwealth in the literal sense that it is a "government based on the common consent of the people", but all states are commonwealths in this sense as well, so it makes little point to distinguish that and add confusion. — D.
