Merger proposal[edit]

Both articles (The Royal Parks and Royal Parks of London) overlap dramatically, with both including information on the Royal Parks charity and its predecessors, and both including information on all the open spaces managed by The Royal Parks charity (not only the eight royal parks). Furthermore, the definition of 'royal parks' used in the Royal Parks of London website appears to be 'parks managed by The Royal Parks', and not actually the royal parks of London (i.e. excluding Hampton Court Park). On top of that, articles tend to link to The Royal Parks when meaning the parks themselves, not the charity (e.g. Royal Parks Constabulary).

It would therefore make more sense to have one article listing the details of The Royal Parks charity, and the parks and open spaces that the charity administer rather than this weird badly-done split. Mauls (talk) 19:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which were the original Four Royal Parks?[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

There's now Eight Royal Parks. Yet in 1997 there was apparently Four Royal Parks.

Which 4 parks were they? Danstarr69 (talk) 19:17, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Danstarr69: Your question should perhaps be addressed in a 'history' section of the article, which does not currently exist. You could request that it be added. The talk page is not really intended to be used for asking (or answering) general questions about the topic, but should rather be confined to discussions about how to improve the article. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:08, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Danstarr69: The Wikipedia:Reference desk might be able to help you with your question. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 01:50, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
