| | Should we rename this article "Gates of the Arctic National Park '''and preserve'''", leaving simply GotANP as a redirect? The "preserve" part incorporates a larger, but very similar area. The difference is that some activities (such as hunting) which are prohibited in the NP are allowed in the preserve.

See [[Wikitravel talk:Naming conventions#Mount X or Mount X National Park?]] for the start of that discussion, noting that it spilled over into a few other places. -- [[User:Wrh2|Ryan]] • ([[User talk:Wrh2|talk]]) • 01:47, 13 June 2010 (EDT)
