Talk:Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

message: I added some generic animal images from Wikipedia so the page looks a little better.  Once there are some images form the Columbus zoo specifically, feel free to replace them. Polypmaster 16:57, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think these are helpful.  It isn't relevant to this article what a bison or sun bear look like; only what the Zoo itself looks like.  More importantly, the use of the images in the article wrongly implies that they were taken at this zoo, which means they are providing incorrect as well as irrelevant information: elements of the animal habitats—at some other zoo—are visible in the backgrounds of the photos, and the individual animal specimens in particular may differ in some material way from those actually kept at this zoo.  I'm going to remove them.  Postdlf 01:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Images 

message: To the unregistered user who has recently edited the article:  I am assuming you are a zoo employee or enthusiast, so thank you for correcting the info on Colo and otherwise.  If you could, please reference your data, as the info I have gotten is older and contradictory to yours.  That would be very helpful. Polypmaster 14:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  unreferenced info 

message: I made a bunch of minor edits, basically just copyediting. A few small issues to take care of:
*The zoo logo image needs a detailed fair-use rationale.
*Please rephrase "Doing so creates a miniature Asia" in the Asia Quest subsection - this is embarrassingly worded.
*Either all of the image captions should have periods, or none of them.
*This is not necessary to pass GA, but it's worth noting that the reference style used here is nonstandard. Since all of your references are online, it would at least be useful to add access dates to these links, in case they go inactive.
GA is on hold pending changes. Chubbles 08:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Review

message: Since adding a picture of the main entrance was part of the criterion to get this article rated a GA rating, I think we need to put a picture of the main gate back in the article.  The picture I took last year was of the old gate, and there is a brand new one now.  If anyone here is going to the zoo soon, could you take a camera and get a good picture of the gate so that we can add that back?  If I don't get a response soon I will add the old one back so that we can at least have some gate image.  Polypmaster (talk) 23:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been to the zoo a few times in the last couple months (nice and empty this time of year, no crowds), and have forgotten to take my camera each time... I'll probably be going again in another week or so, and will try to remember to take it with me... other than the front gate, are there any other pictures you want?  I was thinking a shot of the shores building would also be cool, and the landmark reptile house... - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
