Talk:National recreation area

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Protected Areas, a WikiProject related to national parks and other protected areas worldwide. It may include the protected area infobox.

[edit] To Capitalize or not to capitalize?

There seems to be disagreement as to weather or not to capitalize designations for federally protected area is the United States.

I tend to follow these examples:

• We visited Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site yesterday.
• There are three national historic sites related to Theodore Roosevelt.

In this article, I just changed the header line to all caps, but put "national recreation area" without caps in the body of the text. Perhaps a better first line would be:

"National Recreation Area" is a designation for a protected area in the United States.

or perhaps:

National Recreation Area is a designation for a protected area in the United States.
