Terrace[edit]
Since the fountain is only the lovely central feature of a part of the park which has other interesting features and connections to neighboring parts, and since our only pictures don't show or barely show the fountain, shouldn't the article be renamed as Bethesda Terrace and expanded?

- So, I did it and then got a lucky picture of the fountain. There still aren't many words about the Terrace, but I hope to insert some more, later this month. Goodness, there's nothing on The Mall and its bandshell, either. Much to do. Jim.henderson (talk) 03:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Photos[edit]
Thanks for the pleasant words in my talk page. I bought a new camera Friday and used it while walking home to Hells Kitchen from a bike shop on the Upper East Side Saturday. Tried to improve on the shot my old broken camera made from the west, but alas, a good camera doesn't make a good picture if the photographer doesn't understand what's happening. The head shot of the angel came out well, except for a difficulty with the dark face that my retouch program couldn't properly lighten. Sunday while escorting two tourists to Strawberry Fields I took another headshot but probably it is not good and the season is getting too late for good sunlight on that face. Hmm, maybe at night with tripod. Jim.henderson (talk) 03:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- So here is is, and not as bad as I expected from a quick snapshot from a position too far east and an hour too early. After editing I rather preferred it over the one already in the article, but then asked some friends who were unanimous that the cloudy day picture was better. So, I show it on the Talk Page as a Public Domain photo but don't dare put it in the article. Jim.henderson (talk) 03:29, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
www.centralpark.com[edit]
www.centralpark.com is one of several websites dedicated to Central Park. Before someone is inclined to delete it again as "spam", it should be carefully looked at. --Wetman (talk) 18:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Scrambled citations[edit]
Can someone correct this, providing an anchor for the introduced citation <ref name=ginko />? Thank you. --Wetman (talk) 20:30, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
