Talk:White Mountains (California)

Template
Since the White Mountains are a region rather than a park this article should be converted to the Project:Region article template, which is more appropriate. -- (WT-en) Ryan &bull; (talk) &bull; 02:28, 2 June 2007 (EDT)

I thought it was more like a park than a region. There is a park-like Bristlecone preserve embedded in part of a national forest, which is also park-like. Anyhow, it isn't too hard to edit in new categories, or rename existing categories. What changes would you suggest, Ryan? 76.80.26.121 20:02, 4 June 2007 (EDT)


 * I've updated the article to use the region template. Generally the park template is only used for an area with clearly defined borders that is under the management of a single entity, such as a national park, state park, wildlife refuge, African game park, etc.  Areas that don't meet that criteria are considered regions and use the region article template.  Project:Article templates has a few more details if you're interested. -- (WT-en) Ryan &bull; (talk) &bull; 23:17, 4 June 2007 (EDT)


 * A decade later either Wikivoyage has changed, or I need to admit that in my younger years I was wrong about how to write about this area. While the White Mountains aren't exactly like a national park, the park article headings are more appropriate for writing about this area than a region template would be - visitors want to know where to camp and hike, and not what cities are here.  I'll convert it back to a park template now. -- Ryan &bull; (talk) &bull; 02:28, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
