The only thing I want to add is that the article contains a lot of red links. They should be removed if the subject is not notable. --Hdt83  Chat 04:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
The only one I am really unsure about is the poet, everything else needs an article. IvoShandor 11:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ivo, Kranar asked me to update some Illinois park pages with missing locator maps here so I added the map back in. I have no problem with the image in the infobox - might I suggest the use of {{Geobox Protected Area}}, which allows both an image and a locator map? All of the Pennsylvania state park articles use them - see for example Worlds End State Park. If there is no image, the map can come first. Just an idea. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 12:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm all for including the map, if there is a better way to do it, I didn't mean to slight you, and the edit summary was meant as light hearted toward you two. Drop that infobox in if you want, we'll see how it looks with both the image and the map. --IvoShandor (talk) 15:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I will see what I can do - converting from the infobox to the Geobox is non-trivial (especially when I have not done a conversion in a while). No offense taken - in fact I chuckled at the edit summary. Nice pic. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 01:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

### GA Sweeps: Pass
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. I would recommend updating the access dates of the sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 22:25, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
