Do we need seperate virtually duplicate articles for Bryce Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Park? It seems like unnecessary duplication of effort (and photos) to me... I'd think that the Canyon article could simply be a redirect to the NP one because they contain virtually the same information. KJ 23:16 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Writing this article in a comparison to Zion is an insult to it. No article should be written as a comparison - the subject should be just that. Also, giving the location relative to Zion is ridiculous as it rovides no relevant reference point.
It was co-administered with Zion for much of its history and is still a secondary close-by destination that people who go to Zion go to. Its proximity and long history of being linked makes such comparisons apt (not to mention the fact that the geology is related in that each part exposes overlapping parts of the Grand Staircase). --mav 04:11, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The footnote for the image Bryce_Cabin_circa_1881.jpg "Ebenezer Bryce and his family lived in Bryce Canyon, in this cabin, here photographed circa 1881." is ambigous. It is not clear if the year 1881 is the year when the cabin was photographed or the family lived.
User:Npgallery seems to want the link to his/her website (based on his/her username, I assume it's the website) on the page. I removed it stating spamish - low quality pictures, commercial website with lots of ads, many better pics out there, but then Npgallery put it right back saying rv vandal.

Those are extremely subjective assertions. That site is hardly 'spammish', nor does it have 'low quality' pictures, nor does it have lots of ads. And there are no rules against 'commercial' sites. I suspect user national parks is IP 67.182.22.71 who has been deleting/altering lots of links lately and adding links to what appears to be his/her site. —The preceding unsigned comment was added byNpgallery (talk • contribs) .
1. Take a look at http://www.nationalparksgallery (dot) com/items/3288.JPG this pic from the site, as an example. It is very pixelated, as are the rest of the pictures from the site. Honestly, I don't think these pictures add value to the page... If they did, you could just upload them directly to the page itself.
2. My IP is 18.95.6.172, as any admin could tell you. I hadn't changed the links on this page.
3. You didn't sign your post here using 4 tildes, as you are supposed to.
Very pixelated? You need to see an eye doctor. And your claim the 'rest' of the pictures on the site are 'very pixelated' too is flat out untrue. This user nationalparks simply appears to have nothing better to do with his time than attack people/sites based on specious criteria he makes up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added byNpgallery (talk • contribs) .
This article states in the opening section that it has unique geological structures called hoodoos. Hoodoos exist elsewhere all over the world and are by no means unique to Bryce Canyon. This should be removed or rephrased both here and on the Wikipedia main page where an image of the canyon is the featured image. Ben W Belltalk01:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a single instance of the word "unique" anywhere in the article
This article is a good example of what happens when there's so many good images available that they're allowed to overwhelm the text. I've placed some into a gallery at the end of the article while leaving others in places where they seemed especially relevant and representative of the corresponding text. Changes are welcome, but consider aesthetics and relevance before adding new ones in - Wikipedia is not a photo archive, and there are far more images of Bryce Canyon out there than this article could possibly need.

I'm thinking of transwiki-ing the 4 photos in the gallery over to Commons (and eliminating the gallery entirely). Given that this is an FA, I wanted to get a sense of what the other editors thought before doing this. hike395 (talk) 04:29, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The record high temperature at the park headquarters was 98°F on July 14, 2002. The record low temperature was -28°F on December 10, 1972. Average annual precipitation is 15.53 inches. The wettest year was 1993 with 25.06 inches and the dryest year was 1950 with 7.25 inches. The most precipitation in one month was 8.83 inches in September 1939. The most precipitation in 24 hours was 3.81 inches on August 21, 1947. The snowiest year was 1952 with 206.0 inches. The most snowfall in one month was 82.0 inches in January 1993.[climate 1]
I've removed the WP Earthquakes banner as the article doesn't mention earthquakes or seismicity, but I've also added a WP geology banner, which does seem appropriate - if anyone has a good reason why this page should be in the Earthquakes Project, please just add it back.

A panoramic view of the Bryce Amphitheater in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, as seen from Sunrise Point. It is the largest amphitheater in the park, measuring 12 miles (19 km) long, 3 miles (4.8 km) wide and 800 feet (240 m) deep. Bryce Canyon National Park, which was designated a National Park in 1928, consists of numerous natural amphitheaters and is distinguished by its hoodoos.Photograph: Tuxyso

An iconic hoodoo called the Sentinel fell last month due to frost wedging [1][2]. Pretty fascinating to see geology in action. I'm not sure how frequently this happens at Bryce, but it seems pretty noteworthy. Maybe this belongs in the Geology section. Do any editors who know more about geology than I do have an opinion?Pistongrinder (talk) 18:09, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The statement that Bryce is 1000 feet higher than Zion is rather conservative. For example, Bryce's visitor center is almost 4000 feet higher than Zion's (7900 vs 3934). 75.169.158.172 (talk) 17:54, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Bryce Canyon National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. This panoramic view, as seen from Inspiration Point, shows the colorful Claron Formation, from which the park's delicate hoodoos are carved; the sediments were laid down in a system of streams and lakes that existed from 63 to about 40 million years ago (from the Paleocene to the Eocene epochs). The brown, pink and red colors are from hematite, the yellows from limonite, and the purples from pyrolusite.
1. If the park is not a canyon then why is it improperly called "Bryce Canyon National Park" and why the NPS does not properly rename it simply to "Bryce National Park"?
2. I think the history section should be placed before anything else, including the geography and climate sections.
3. The section called "Creation of the park" does not tell the story in a linear and chronological fashion. It should be reorganized and rewritten so that the sequence is from the past to the present. I see several instances of jumping back and forth in time.
Greetings, Today I added several cn-tags within the article; and the Ref. improve notice. If article is to remain FA, improvements are needed. Thanks, JoeNMLC (talk) 15:52, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720, my focus on Wikipedia is Orphan articles. I came across this particular article because one of my relatives mentioned visiting there. I'm not at all familiar with the FAR process, so would rather not participate. IMO, the article reads well & can be made better with additional citations. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 20:06, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
After a failed attempt on a different poorly cited FA. Which had many uncited paragraphs and original research. You just can't make this stuff up anymore. I will attempt this again and will be in touch if I need more help because I am unfamiliar with how FAR works. Alexeyevitch(talk)00:03, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
