Old-Growth Forest Network

I am creating a talk page for the Old-Growth Forest Network article. So far I have created the article and in subsequent edits have changed the tone to a more "encyclopedic" one and have added one reference. I expect to be adding more references as I collect them.

Draft:Old-Growth Forest Network concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Old-Growth Forest Network, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:38, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Leakin Park

Thanks for the much-needed overhaul of Leakin Park. It had been bothering me for some time that such a proportion of the page was dedicated to random crimes. Sauzer (talk) 20:22, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I of course had the same reaction when I first got involved last year with GFLP. I have gotten lots of help from FOGFLP board members, including Ed Orser, who is a historian. I would like to add a few photos, but alas I have no idea how to handle the copyright issues. And I am 78 years old and perhaps too old to learn. :( Willcook3 (talk) 21:12, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
