Seventh national park?

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The page claims that Wind Cave is the "seventh national park" but that doesn't seem accurate. I'm not sure whether it is claiming to be the 7th of the U.S. National Parks, or the 7th in the world, but both claims seem wrong. Lists of U.S. national parks would have it 6th (after Crater Lake), and international lists are different but pretty much all agree that it would be more than 7. I do see a couple websites that also claim 7th, but they may well be sourced from Wikipedia. Is this claim wrong, or am I missing something? DaveLatham (talk) 16:52, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Looks like there was first a claim that it was the seventh U.S. National Park in 2004 at revision https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wind_Cave_National_Park&oldid=4955690

Then the U.S. part of the claim was dropped in 2018 at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wind_Cave_National_Park&oldid=866427448 DaveLatham (talk) 17:10, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Passage density per cubic mile

The claim of being the densest cave in the world, while true, isn't supported with any websites or numbers? A number would probably be helpful, if possible. I'm not sure if that is though, as I'm not really a cave girl, which is also the reason I'm not editing the article myself!
