Talk:Barefoot park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I did just a little copyediting/wikifying, but since I'm not familiar with the topic I might have made some mistakes in categorization and rephrasing. Please make any necessary corrections. 68.81.231.127 08:58, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Many thanks, its really phantastic how quickly you improved my non-native English and categorized the article! Lorenz

My pleasure; it's a good article. The one thing left that really needs to be changed is: "The most commonly recommended are the barefoot parks...". A recommendation doesn't belong in an Encyclopedia, but I didn't know exactly what was meant by the statement. "Largest", "most well known", "significant", or something similar would be more neutral. 68.81.231.127 14:56, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Factual edits

The "wellness" section recapitulates the same new-age nonsense in the Barefoot article:

Going barefoot under the ideal conditions of the barefoot parks has multiple benefits for health. It acts against flat feet and varicose veins by toughening and training the muscles of feet and legs, it builds up resistance against cold and cough, it relieves dorsal pain by improving the motion sequence of walking. For children walking, jumping and running barefoot is of particular importance because lack of exercise during growth is a significant health risk.

Absent some (non-pov) sources, we can't in good conscience include this. jdb ❋ (talk) 17:21, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
