Hi there, thanks so much for adding to the article! I used to live near the park, and would walk by there almost everyday, which is why I wrote the article for the park. I was surprised such a large public space, in the middle of America's biggest city, didn't have an article. I hope you don't mind me reaching out, but seeing as you're a capable enough editor to include reference, I'd love to pick your brain on how to expand the article. Comparing the article to Central Park, sections are missing for "Landscape features" (geology, wooded areas and lawns, watercourses), "Wildlife", "Landmarks and structures", "Activities", "Transportation", "Issues", and "Impact". A lot of those wouldn't be applicable for HVK, but some would, like that it's a block from the G train (and near buses), maybe even sections for "Landmarks and structures and "Activities". The tricky aspect is getting reliable sources, such as the dog park, and lawns. I know there's also a weekly foodshare program by Foodnotbombs, and I have a source as of 2018, but I wouldn't want to add a reference for regular activities unless it was after 2021, given how much 2020 changed things.
Anyway, be well, and thanks again for the edit. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:06, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! It's a good article but I agree that it could be expanded - I think that transportation and activities are the best candidates for addition. Transportation can be cited simply from MTA subway/bus maps, but newspapers and magazines are good sources for the park's activities/events/announcements. I typically use the Wikipedia library for newspapers and sometimes do a Google search for "[subject] magazine" which can help locate articles in local/niche magazines or newsletters. Food Not Bombs is notable enough to have their own page, so I think the foodshare program could and should be included on the page using that source - it should just be worded in a way that indicates the actual years of operation are not known e.g. "In the late 2010s, Food Not Bombs operated a foodshare program based in the park, which continued until at least 2021." The Bed-Stuy FNB page indicates that it was updated in 2021 and was still operating out of HVK. I'd be happy to make this page a little pet project and add some of these things when I have a chance, but feel free to use these notes to add what you wish as well.
