[edit] Stonewall Jackson Lake photo

Nice picture of the dam at Stonewall Jackson Lake.

By any chance do you have any nice photos of the state park? If so, would you mind posting one at Stonewall Resort State Park? Thanks. WVhybrid 00:50, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Nice pix. Thanks. I went up to Hawks Nest State Park and will be uploading one or more of the snaps I took today. WVhybrid 23:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stonewall Resort

Brian: I don't think your redirect is correct. The name on the DNR web site and the park web site has dropped the name Jackson from the title. It seems to me we should respect the naming convention of the operating agency and use the name that they have used. (Of course, it is appropriate to mention Stonewall Jackson in the article.) Would you please revert the redirect? Thanks. WVhybrid 00:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to be precise on the name as well. The more I look at things the more confusing it gets. From what I can tell, Stonewall Resort is just a marketing name. The real name appears to be either Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park (used in state law at http://www.legis.state.wv.us/WVCODE/20/WVC%2020%20%20-%20%205%20%20-%20%2016%20%20.htm) or Stonewall Jackson Resort State Park. I've sent an e-mail to the WVDNR asking them to clarify what the official name is and will update Wikipedia as appropriate. Brian Powell 03:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
