I'll get to this shortly--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:17, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Hey Sturmvogel 66, just checking in to make sure this is still on your list. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 00:09, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

• Images appropriately licensed.
• Any chance of a map of the park showing attractions, etc.? Like the one in the article from the Arlington Historial Society?
  • I didn't include the Arlington Historical Society map because it's too low-res to actually make out much of anything; I was hoping to get access to the original document and make a better reproduction when I'm back down in the area later this year.

    • It's definitely low-res, but one other source says that it's from a Sanborn map. It might be worth searching for online copies as the Library of Congress seems have digitized some.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:47, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
      • Sturmvogel 66 Thanks for the LOC heads-up, didn't even think of checking. Looks like there's a [ https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3884am.08968006/?sp=26&r=-0.112,0.419,1.369,0.915,0 bunch of decent options I can integrate.] Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 13:10, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
• Can you clarify what you mean about Ingersoll being the operator of the park? It doesn't seem like he has any role other than to design it.
  • He had financial interest in a bunch of the parks (there was a previous source in the article that he kept his interests in this Luna Park even after a bankruptcy) but yeah, operate sounds like he managed it more than he did (there was a local manager who did that.) Adjusted. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 16:03, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
• Nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:46, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
