[edit] Balance / NPOV on cycling?

I would welcome some discussion on the Access section, and specifically on cycling. While I agree that some cyclists are a nuisance in the park and do cause damage, I think that the recent additions from 213.48.46.141 on June 12 and July 21 are mildly inappropriate for WP.

I attempted to write a balanced piece on the access discussion, but I think that the reinsertion of the "limitations on cycling" have unbalanced it again. While it is clear that we should record the controversy as a feature of the park, lets not use WP as a soap box for ranting, nor yet for telling people what they should or should not do. I am not sure that our readership includes many potential off path mountain bikers anyway.

I think the insertion should be removed because the Access paragraphs already made it clear where cyclists were supposed to ride. But before I remove it I would welcome other opinions.

(PS Why do people get angry about cycling so often?)

[edit] Re: Balance / NPOV on cycling?

I agree. The 'Access' section reads more like a polemic than an objective piece on one aspect of the park.

[edit] Merge King Henry VIII's Mound?

It seems to me that this is a stubby article about a feature wholly contained within the park - any point in it being a separate article? Kbthompson 13:24, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
