U.S. National Parks[edit]
I am working my way through the 58 U.S. National Parks articles. Please feel free to help. (Should probably standardize link text) Rmhermen 17:43, Oct 16, 2004 (UTC)
Using a criteria of designation of 75% or more of the park as wilderness, I have noted the parks which should have the brown background on the summary box instead of green (these are IUCN level Ib).

U.S. National Forests[edit]
For complete listing see List of U.S. National Forests. Still some redlined articles, but becoming more completed. Article quality ranges from single sentence stubs to thoroughly detailed discussions. 2 forests have no articles - as of 14 February 2007
U.S. Wilderness areas[edit]
Though some work has been completed, there are hundreds of redlined links to vacant artilces in need of development See: List of U.S. Wilderness Areas. Approximately 40 articles are detailed and utilize images and the infobox appropriate for wilderness articles.
- Note that the list article may not be complete. See Talk:List of U.S. Wilderness Areas for discussion of "missing" areas.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service areas[edit]
Over 250 written articles yet still hundreds of redlined links to vacant articles. See: List of National Wildlife Refuges. Several articles now utilize the infobox but we will need to go back to older articles and add it in to each one.
United Kingdom[edit]
Sites of Scientific Interest[edit]
See User:MarcusBritish/SSSIs for details of SSSI lists still needing work. English Areas are all nearly complete, and plenty of opportunity to develop more into FLs. Cheers, Ma®©usBritish{chat} 10:13, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
