- Nominator(s): West Virginian (talk) 17:14, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
I am nominating this list because it gives possibly the most comprehensive summary of West Virginia state parks available. It gives a broad overview of the state parks' governance, a history of the state parks, and a list of both current and former state parks. I look forward to working with the FLC editors throughout this process, and I welcome your expertise, guidance, and suggestions. Thank you. -- West Virginian (talk) 17:14, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

- Support – Normally when sorting people you do sort by last name but because in these instances they are monuments and parks named after people I'd say sort by first name. Anyways, everything looks good to me. Happy to sign support. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 04:03, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- Note (a) should be a regular citation; no need to put the duplicative info in a footnote. The first sentence of note (c) is also redundant to the text preceding it - just put the citations in the text. Don't reference note (d) twice; leave the lead as just a summary and have the note or the info it contains only in the Overview section. There is an entire section for Former state parks, so note (e) is also redundant and unnecessary.
- The images are rather small if you want to make them bigger.
- An awful lot of the descriptions begin with "The park..." but any content would be assumed to be describing the park anyway. "The park is named for the 3,100-foot (940 m) tall Pinnacle Rock sandstone formation." could for example be written as "Pinnacle Rock is a 3,100-foot (940 m) tall sandstone formation."
- Booker T Washington needs a date of disestablishment in the table.
- Explanatory notes are not references; they can be in a separate Notes section. Reywas92Talk 22:08, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Reywas92, thank you for taking the time to review this list and for providing your feedback and suggestions here! I provided footnote [a] to explain that the two rail trails are considered state parks and thought a footnote would allow me to also place multiple inline citations versus crowding all three citations after the first sentence. I will assess some alternative options in the meantime. I also removed the previous [d] citation per your suggestion. I increased the image sizes from 100px to 150px. Let me know if this will be large enough. I also removed the former [e] citation per your request. I separated the explanatory notes and reference sections. As for Booker T. Washington, I have not been able to locate a definitive date for its closing due to a lack in available data about the park. I have placed an en dash there until that date can be verified. I will also be incorporating your suggestion to pare down the size of the description, but I will be holding off for the time being until I receive a few more reviews so I can make all those changes together at once. Please let me know if you see anything else that needs adjusting in the meantime! -- West Virginian (talk) 03:37, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- Looks pretty good! The Remarks column would also look better left-aligned rather than each line being irregularly centered. I don't see a problem with having three citations together, that's pretty common. Thanks for your great work here, it's nice to see more progress on park-related pages!

- Reywas92, thank you again for your further guidance and for taking the time to improve this list! It is much appreciated. I attempted to only left-align the remarks column, but alas, I haven't been able to do so without re-aligning the other columns. I concur that the remarks look so much better aligned to the left, so I've modified the sortable table so that the info columns are all aligned left. This is actually consistent with other featured lists of state parks, like Louisiana and Pennsylvania. Please let me know if you think this works! -- West Virginian (talk) 16:31, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
- Reywas92, I wanted to let you know that Corinne just completed a phenomenal copyedit of the remarks in both lists, thus paring down the descriptions per your suggestion above. Please let me know if you see any other issues that would preclude this from becoming a FL! -- West Virginian (talk) 00:08, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- Looks good, Support Reywas92Talk 18:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
