Not within the park[edit]

@TheCatalyst31: Hello there! I believe the two Backus-Marblemount Ranger Station Houses are not within the legal boundaries of the national park. They are in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. They should be removed from the list, I guess. Thierry Caro (talk) 21:23, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like both cabins are owned by the National Park Service, and the nomination forms say the NPS took ownership of the cabins when the national park was established. I'm not entirely sure what to make of that; this could be a case where they're technically part of the park for administrative reasons without actually being inside the bounds of the park, or something like that. I might need to know more about that situation before removing them. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 00:10, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TheCatalyst31: The same thing goes for Baker Ranger Station, listed in National Register of Historic Places listings in Great Basin National Park. Park Headquarters, Lassen Volcanic National Park is another similar case. Maybe I would keep them on the list pages but in new sections at the bottom titled 'Associated sites' or something similar. That way the list per se would not be inflated with false positives but the relevant information would still be around, easy to spot, down the list.

I have just checked all the lists for national parks and have stumbled upon National Register of Historic Places listings in Yosemite National Park, where there actually is a section just like the one I suggest! I thus believe this is the way to go for all four properties I've mentioned. What's your opinion? Can you fix everything if you concur? Thierry Caro (talk) 18:46, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say this is worth bringing up for a larger discussion at the project talk page. It seems reasonable enough to me, but I haven't put a lot of work into the national park listings pages, and other editors might have different opinions on the matter.

There are a number of parks where administration or other activities are technically outside the boundaries of the statutory boundaries of the parks. There is also the difference between authorized boundaries and NPS-owned land. I guess we need to have a substantive discussion of what constitutes "in."
