Talk:National historic areas in the United States

Divide this up
This is going well over the 99-marker limit. Perhaps we should divide this into regions? --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk | contributions ) 03:23, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I think it would be more useful to divide it by type. For instance, maybe one color for national historical parks, national historic sites, and international historic sites; one color for military-type sites (national battlefield parks, national military parks, national battlefields, national battlefield sites); and one color for national cemeteries. Or we could do something more fine-grained than that. —Granger (talk · contribs) 03:26, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see. Good idea. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk | contributions ) 22:05, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * ✅ The markers now vary in color. The groups are North (blue), Washington D.C. (orange), South (gray), and West (red). --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk | contributions ) 02:34, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I still think it would be better to divide them by type. Dividing them by region addresses the 99-marker problem, but without providing any additional information to the reader—the different colors just function as decoration. Dividing them by type would allow readers to see, at a glance, which places on the map are military sites as opposed to cemeteries as opposed to other types of historic sites. —Granger (talk · contribs) 05:19, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Oops, I didn't read your earlier comment properly. Yes, I agree with. When I have the time, I can organize them by type instead. But not now. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk | contributions ) 13:47, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I've adjusted the markers to divide them by type. I had to do it in a more fine-grained way than I suggested above:
 * blue for national historic sites and international historic sites
 * green for national historical parks
 * black for national memorials
 * red for national battlefield parks, national military parks, national battlefields, and national battlefield sites
 * gray for national cemeteries

Images on dynamic map
A problem with the dynamic map is that the pictures are too large for it, even though I've expanded the mapframe. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk | contributions ) 02:35, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

 * The Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Va., can be seen prior to the Sunset Parade June 4, 2013 130604-M-MM982-036.jpg

Maryland's Northern Border is Missing
I don't know how this happened but Maryland's Northern border is missing from the map. Animalia555 (talk) 13:56, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Capitol Hill Parks
Is there a reason why there is no numbered map marker for the Capitol Hill Parks? Animalia555 (talk) 14:20, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Civil War Defenses of Washington
Is there a reason there is no map marker for Civil War Defenses of Washington? Animalia555 (talk) 14:36, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

National Mall and Memorial Parks
Is there a reason this has no map marker either? I am honestly a little confused by the structure of the Washington D.C. section of the article in general. Any explanation at all would be nice. Animalia555 (talk) 14:44, 17 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I suppose these and the things you mentioned above are too spread out for a single marker to make sense. I think the indented list after "National Mall and Memorial Parks" is a list of the various parks that it refers to. —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:37, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
