Morrow Mountain State Park[edit]

Hello,
Thank you for your edits to Morrow Mountain State Park. The article does need work to improve its quality. Articles should focus on the notable features and history pertaining to the article's topic. As such, there are a couple things which are considered inappropriate to add to an article. Wikipedia is not travel guide and should not contain rental rates or reservation contact information. Wikipedia also is not a news source. Details about upcoming events generally shouldn't be included unless they are clearly notable, such as the opening of a new facility at the park. I hope you will continue to work on the article and help bring it up to good article standards.

Thank you Sparkgap for the help and pointers.

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.

We've added references. Any chance we've fulfilled the need and could lose a few of the "This page doesn't site any references" disclaimers at the beginning of segments? Thank you, Davidbriggs77

Sourcing still is very, very poor. Take for example the "geography" section: "When first formed, these mountains rose to nearly 20,000 feet (6,100 m) above sea level" - that's not in the given source. The "trails" section' source confirms only a tiny part of that section's content. Many other sections don't cite any sources at all. Thus I'd say the "needs more sources" tags are basically correct.

On an unrelated note, "We've added references." - who is "we"? Wikipedia does not allow the shared use of accounts; only one person should have access to an account. Huon (talk) 20:21, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
