Line 1: Line 1:
The National Park System of the Federal States exists to showcase not only important or unique areas of the Federal States, but also to honor high-quality mapping contributions by members of the FSA community. National Parks and other "National" areas are nominated by individual mappers and are voted on by the FSA community every six months.

===Tier I===
In a few weeks the FSA February 2024 Omnibus Ballot will take place and as part of that I would like to finalise the name of the Western Mountain Range.  
''Tier I'' sites are the highest-quality and the most prestigious. While there is no minimum or maximum size, to be approved as a Tier I classification the FSA community must vote with a ''supermajority'' of at least 75% approval. Tier I classifications are as follows:
There are already [[Collab:Federal_States/Natural_features#Mountains|a selection of old suggestions here]] but it's a long, outdated list that could benefit from being reduced in size and refreshed with currently popular names.<br>
* '''National Parks''' are primarily natural spaces;
* '''National Historic Sites''' are primarily developed or man-made spaces; and
* '''National Monuments''' are very unique areas, either natural or man-made.


{| class="wikitable sortable"
To that end I would invite you to nominate a name for the ballot that you think will be popular. It could be from the old list or something new you have thought up.

===Tier II===
* I will start by nominating the Cordilleras, which I know is used informally by many western mappers.--[[User:Ruadh|Ruadh]] ([[User talk:Ruadh|talk]]) 21:57, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
''Tier II'' sites are still high-quality sites, but only require a ''simple majority'' vote of over 50% to be approved. Tier II classifications are any other "National" classification, including but not limited to:
* National Forest, National Prairie, or other natural feature as applicable
* National Wildlife Refuge
* National Heritage Area
* National Battlefield (to be determined once more information about [[Collab:Federal States/History|FSA History]] is determined)
* National Lakeshore or National Seashore


{| class="wikitable sortable"
* I also support the Cordilleras. I am not sure whether it should be "The Cordilleras" or something like the "Archantan Cordilleras." I am one of the mappers who informally uses the Cordilleras when referring to the mountain range in eastern Clamash. [[User:Glauber|Glauber]] ([[User talk:Glauber|talk]]) 19:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

==Nomination Process==
* I also support the name of the Cordilleras. Like Glauber, I also refer to this range as the Cordilleras. [[User:Geoc3ladus|Geoc3ladus]] ([[User talk:Geoc3ladus|talk]]) 03:53, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
FSA stateowners are encouraged to nominate areas of high-quality mapping for consideration in the National Park System. These can be their own work, or the work of other mappers; however, in the case of a "third-party" nomination, the original mapper must agree to a site's nomination to be added to the ballot. At this time, there is '''no limit''' to the number of nominations each stateowner can produce. The approvals will be included on the biannual FSA Omnibus Ballot, which is scheduled for February and August of each year.


Nominations should be posted on this page by the last day of the month prior to the biannual election: the next FSA Omnibus Ballot is in August 2024, which means all nominations for the next vote must be received by '''31 July 2024'''.  Nominations must include the location of the site and the requested title of the site, which determines the majority vote needed to be approved.
*+1 Cordilleras /[[User:Wangi|wangi]] ([[User talk:Wangi|talk]]) 11:37, 10 January 2024 (UTC)


Prior to approval, sites may be tagged as "State ______" (or "Regional ______" if the site spans multiple states) as applicable.
* +1 Cordilleras. Also endorse prefixing "The..." (or maybe something fun like have the Castellanese "Las" fossilized into the Ingerish name, so the mountains are called "Las Cordilleras" but colloquially you'll then hear "The Las Cordilleras Mountains" - very common phenomenon in US names of Spanish origin).--[[User:Luciano|Luciano]] ([[User talk:Luciano|talk]]) 14:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)


If a site is nominated but fails the confirmation vote, the site is not eligible to be nominated again until the following voting cycle: for instance, if a site was nominated for the February 2021 vote and was not approved, it cannot be nominated for the August 2021 vote but is eligible for the February 2022 vote.
* +1 Cordilleras. I'd additionally support specifying it as the "Archantan Cordilleras" if there is to be a mountain-range in the Castellanese/Uletha region that would have been first named, before settlers provided the Archantan Cordilleras with it's name. -- [[User:Aces California|Aces California]] ([[User talk:Aces California|talk]]) 17:05, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 
----
To avoid failed nominations, mappers are strongly encouraged to use the [[Forum:Federal States|FSA forums]] to get feedback from the FSA community on proposed sites before nominating them for National Park System status.
As a result of the unanimous vote on the February 2024 omnibus ballot, the western mountain range is now officially known as the '''Cordilleras'''. --[[User:TheMayor|TheMayor]] ([[User talk:TheMayor|talk]]) 17:32, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

==Legacy==
Following the close of voting, approved nominations will be posted here and those sites will officially become part of the FSA National Park System. Once National Park status has been approved, these sites are to be protected as-is regardless of current or future state ownership: the mapped features of the National Park shall not be changed (except to add additional detail) and the boundaries of the approved site shall not change.
 
Any expansions would require a second round of nominations for the site as "annexes": for instance, if Sample State Park was approved to become Sample National Park, any additional expansion areas should be nominated as "Sample National Park Annex" and would require a 75% approval on the next ballot before those areas could be officially considered part of Sample National Park.
 
Areas that are approved for Tier II status can be upgraded and nominated for a Tier I status at the next eligible election.

Forums → Federal States → Federal States/Western Mountain Range - naming

In a few weeks the FSA February 2024 Omnibus Ballot will take place and as part of that I would like to finalise the name of the Western Mountain Range. There are already a selection of old suggestions here but it's a long, outdated list that could benefit from being reduced in size and refreshed with currently popular names.

To that end I would invite you to nominate a name for the ballot that you think will be popular. It could be from the old list or something new you have thought up.

  • I will start by nominating the Cordilleras, which I know is used informally by many western mappers.--Ruadh (talk) 21:57, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
  • I also support the Cordilleras. I am not sure whether it should be "The Cordilleras" or something like the "Archantan Cordilleras." I am one of the mappers who informally uses the Cordilleras when referring to the mountain range in eastern Clamash. Glauber (talk) 19:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
