Date where Longwood started charging admission?
editMy understanding is that Du Pont intended for Longwood to be free in perpetuity, but that it was forced to start charging admission sometime I think in the 1960's or 1970's, and that this generated a large controversy. I can't find any online sources providing this aspect of Longwood's history, though. Does anyone else have access to that information? I think it'd make an important addition to the history section.
More generally, there's lots of text in this article that could be construed as similar to an advertisement, although not quite enough for me to tag the page. But adding content like the above that's not just promotional would help a lot. - Sdkb (talk) 08:24, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
Add information about the fugitive?
editshould a section be added that details the fugitive situation that is currently ongoing Acgreen56 (talk) 19:06, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- I would say definitely not. This is a classic WP:NOTNEWS situation. No one will care in ten years about the gardens being closed for an unusual reason for a few days a decade prior. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 19:59, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
