Talk:Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site

Comments

This has turned into a really great article. One concern I have, however, is that we typically allow businesses to be listed in only one article, so the "Sleep" and "Eat" listings in this article should probably be removed. Typically with parks, if there's nothing within the park border we simply provide pointers to nearby places that do have options - see for example Yosemite National Park#Nearby, which offers pointers to the nearest towns with lodging. I'd actually also be interested in a bit more history about this location - why was it such a large settlement and why is it so different from other archaeological sites - but otherwise it seems to have great coverage of the destination. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 22:20, 3 August 2010 (EDT)

Thanks very much for your advice and help. I have updated sleep/eat sections and expanding or creating the nearby towns to accomodate. I'll continue working on -Understand-. (WT-en) Bill in STL 21:37, 20 August 2010 (EDT)

More information

It would be nice to have a link or two to sites providing detail information on this site and the historical/archaeological background, or references for further reading. (WT-en) Peter (Southwood) ^Talk 11:52, 5 September 2010 (EDT)
