thread_title: Second Largest Aquarium

message: This is a matter of taste so I am soliciting other editors' opinions. Infoboxes are fine, but infoboxes for visual subjects (like a display aquarium) or painting, or a person, usually contain a large photo of the subject. See (for example) any chemical element infobox (copper,gold, lithium).  The problem here is that we are left with nothing but a logo. So this is a case of "infoboxitis"-- use of an infobox up front when something else will serve better. Yes, the images used up front in this article are also in the gallery, but if they are considered redundant, remove the duplicates from the gallery!  N.B. I am not a promoter for the MBA and have absolutely no association with it. I hope anybody who does, will stay out of this discussion and editing (see WP:COI). SBHarris 18:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Is your only objection to not having the infobox at the standard position at the top of the page is only because it has the logo and not a picture of the aquarium? Well, the current code of  enables you to have both a logo and an image. And you can change the sizes so the image is significantly more prominent than the logo. Cheers.

message: According to several sources, Star Trek IV was filmed in Monterrey. The Aquarium doesn't have any Humpback Whales on display now, not even any other large marine mammals, except for otters. Does somebody know whether they had whales on display earlier? --PaterMcFly talk contribs 21:04, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: They've never had anything but otters. No captive porposes, let alone whales. That's only in STAR TREK: The Search for Political Correctness. Which is set in San Francisco and Monterrey and all about a female professional who isn't susceptable to Kirk, and powered by the idea of saving the whales to save the Earth from destruction. Blechh.  Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for life. Direct him to Wikipedia and he'll find a complete list of all mentions of "fishing" in The Simpsons. (-- K. Martin). So true. SBHarris 21:29, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  The question was not whether the Film was correct, but whether the information was correct, that the Film has been taken in Monterrey. As they don't have whales, that seems to be at least partially wrong, then. --PaterMcFly talk contribs 16:27, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The article states "The Aquarium appeared in the 1986 film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, where it appeared as the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito. The main aquarium was overlaid with special effects to appear to be the tank home of two humpback whales." This statement is true. The reference used in the WP Star Trek IV article is not easily accessible, but I found this pretty quickly by googling "Humpback to the Future" (the name of the cited article). Then I dug out my old VHS, and VHS machine (yes, I know that dates me), and yes, it is the Monterey Bay aquarium on film -- they show almost the same angle as this article does in the infobox, though the tide is higher. I am going to add this citation. If someone finds a better source, feel free to add or replace. Don Lammers (talk) 18:55, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks, that's a helpful statement. I'm not going to dig trough history, but I think that sentence spelled differently once. Or at least it did so in other languages, which might have confused me. --PaterMcFly talk contribs 19:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

message: This article would benefit from more citations from secondary sources. While there are a few references from sources other than the aquarium, most come directly from it. Secondary sources would help to round out the article. The Monterey County Herald would probably be a good place to start. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 00:50, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

That did someone in June of 2013 not like?  The dup picture was removed, was that it?
