[edit] Gallery

WP:NOT a gallery of images. All images other than the amount that are in this article need to go to commons and be uploaded there and tagged with the Joshua Tree national park category. A link is at the bottom of the page. I have also removed all images that do not have source information. Please do not recreate the gallery, commons is the correct repository for this kind of material. pschemp | talk 18:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

This is obviously a self-interested question, but what is the purpose of the gallery tag if galleries are not allowed on WP? I understand the point re: the commons, but I've seen hundreds of galleries on WP articles, and in fact a number of the US national park articles feature a small collection of images illustrating various features and highlights of the park. If you found the gallery to be self serving, fine, but to make a blanket statement that galleries aren't allowed on WP doesn't exactly gel with the common use of the gallery tag.Pixel23 20:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

you can't read the whole article the pictures are overlapping

[edit] Gram Parsons

i removed the gram parsons reference for a couple reasons. he was not a rock climber as stated, although he was enamored with joshua tree. the trivia regarding his connection with joshua tree and the failed cremation of his body are interesting, but there currently is no section in the article where this would fit, and it certainly doesn't belong in the climbing section. ikes 18:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
