Potential Conflict of Interest Mike Cline[edit]

I travel annually to either Yellowstone National Park or Voyageurs National Park and have donated money to the Yellowstone Foundation. Please evaluate any contributions I make to this article for NPOV in light of the above. Bold textItalic text--129.123.150.243 (talk) 20:11, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Year of establishment[edit]

In a couple of places in the article, the year of establishment for VNP is stated as 1975, yet it is also stated that Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1971. Which year is correct, or if it's more complicated than that, can we clarify the text? --BlueCanoe (talk) 18:17, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both statements are apparently correct. Once the President signs the legislation establishing the park, it usually doesn't mean the park instantly comes into being. A lot of work takes place before the park is formally established, which apparently took 4 years. http://www.nps.gov/voya/historyculture/index.htm MDuchek (talk) 19:53, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Postage Stamp[edit]

USPS issued a Voyageurs National Park stamp in 2011. Does someone want to add that and a picture of it.? 76.14.32.85 (talk) 07:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Have you already found an image somewhere? North8000 (talk) 12:42, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question about water area[edit]

The statement "In all the park has more than 344 square miles (890 km2) of water." contradict the total park size in the template (218,200 acres = 340 square miles). אביהו (talk) 19:42, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Interactive map[edit]

Someone added Voyageurs National Park Digital Map & Campsite Directory to external links and them someone removed it as self-promotional. It looks high quality, useful and non-commercial. Maybe it should stay in? North8000 (talk) 21:32, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@North8000: Go for it, my friend. I just removed it because it was added by the company themselves (see the username). talk to !dave 07:54, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, I'll do it. North8000 (talk) 12:59, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
