Alt text
I've added alt text and tweaked the article yet again. Do we know how many visitors the park gets annually? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:49, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- I am afraid, we don't have the number of annual visitors. Revenue-wise it is the second most earner after Yala. I was able to get the visitor information on Udawalawe though.--Chanaka L (talk) 08:52, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- I expanded the lead section to summarize the text.--Chanaka L (talk) 08:34, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Good, I've tidied it a bit to remove repetition (the name of the park is used far too often), and running sentences together to improve the flow. Please change back anything you don't like
- Thanks Jim, It is all OK. Do you think now it is ready for nomination? --Chanaka L (talk) 09:22, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- I think so, it will probably be a while before it gets reviewed, so we can carry on refining the prose any way. A reviewer is bound to pick up on things we have missed any way. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:23, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Showtime! I listed it in GAN. I think would be good idea of keep improving the text. A question, As an usual practice for a mammal species mentioned in the source, if it has a subspecies in Sri Lanka I go for subspecies. Eg. Elephant -> Sri Lankan Elephant, Sambar Deer -> Sri Lankan Sambar Deer. Is there any wrong with that?--Chanaka L (talk) 12:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Nothing at all - they are linked to appropriate articles, and are more accurate that just eg Asian Elephant Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:48, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Access
Under visitor attractions, is it worth adding something about access. It's easily reached by road from Nuaya Eliya, but I seem to remember that there's a train station near the park. What are the opening hours Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:03, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- Erledigt access roads. Final ticket issue for entrance is done at 4.00pm. Er... couldn't find any thing on opening hours.--Chanaka L (talk) 07:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- Found this regarding num. of visitors. I'm afraid, no mention of HP though. Table 19 & 20 [1]--Chanaka L (talk) 10:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Any use?
Shyamal sent me this link. Any use? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:57, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
I took boreal herbaceous plants info from there. Seems they are very colourful.--Chanaka L (talk) 09:47, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
