Map

I don't think the red area even remotely covers the area of the Park - it is huge! Can someone supply? GrahamBould 13:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mining Threat section

This section is too brief to warrant it's own section and shows a biased viewpoint. Suggest it is edited significantly or deleted. Also needs citations badly.Duncanjmacleod (talk) 11:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy over wapiti in Fiordland National Park

The article needs to cover the controversial issue of wapiti (or elk) in Fiordland National Park. See this recent article: [1]. The topic should probably also be covered in Te Wahipounamu because it may have implications for the World Heritage Status._Marshelec (talk) 05:48, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overlap in content between Fiordland and Fiordland National Park

There is a significant overlap in content between the articles Fiordland (about the region) and Fiordland National Park. Plus there is also content in Fiordland that is needed in Fiordland National Park to make that article more complete. A high degree of overlap between these two articles seems undesirable because of the work required to maintain duplicated content. Is there a case for some rationalisation ? One possibility is to substantially trim the article Fiordland (about the region), to focus it on the boundary of the region, and relevant statistical content such as Demographics and economy. This would involve transferring and merging most of the content about history, geography and ecology with Fiordland National Park.
