  • Article contains a substantial amount of uncited content. DYK articles must have a minimum of one cite per paragraph, with the exception of lead sections and paragraphs summarizing other article content. Gatoclass (talk) 13:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the prose in the "Conventions" section is still uncited, as is the Annual Master Traveller Awards section. An additional problem is that the cited source doesn't support the hook. The hook says 19 members of the Club have visited all 394 sites, but the source only says 19 people have done so. Gatoclass (talk) 13:38, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How about ALT1: that attendees of National Park Travelers Club conventions receive limited edition National Park Passport Stamps?
Not exactly a very hooky article. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:56, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Now has more inline cites - I agree that neither of the above hooks grab me. I think something about what the 395 units actually are could be interesting - are they just national parks? How are they chosen or added? Something like that. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:16, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2: ... that members of a club earn a special platinum prize for visiting 395 places in the US?
Hmm? Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:13, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
on the hook as creeping into interesting territory. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:36, 2 September 2011 (UTC) (NB: on page size and vintage, and I don't recall seeing any close paraphrasing. Hook source legit.Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:38, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
