[edit] List of recreational facilities

I reverted the list of recreational facilities. Most of them aren't particularly notable, and it felt very list-crufty to me. Would anyone else happen to have any thoughts on this? I certainly have no problem with listing some of the more notable ones, but that list just seemed out of control. --Takeel 20:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I pared down the list of recreation facilities. Enough? --Mpritchard80 17:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

IMHO, I think it is still too much. I have requested a third opinion. --Takeel 20:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, still too much. I would be happy to take a stab at trimming it and seeing if we can get a version that suits everyone. -- Pastordavid 20:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Which items jump out at you as being the most notable ones? --Takeel 04:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Moving the list from the main page to here before I edit it down. I'll be back by this evening to take a stab at the list on the article itself. -- Pastordavid 20:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revision

I have severely trimmed the list. Actually, it is no longer a list, but moved to prose instead. There is no reason to include every little trailhead on Wikipedia, so it is now significantly shorter, with most of what was listed covered in the general statements made here. I also removed the many redlinks, and the links that directed to something unrelated to Wise county -- please check where a wikilink leads before adding it to the encyclopedia. I moved this link to the external links, rather than have it linked to two dozen times in the article. -- Pastordavid 16:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
