Talk:Edinburgh Zoo

message: I removed the sentence "Public opinion often varies depending on what films are showing at the cinema, with films like Happy Feet and The Golden Compass drawing in more visitors to see the penguins or the polar bear. (") from the "Controversy and Critique" section. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with either controversy or critique of the Edinburgh zoo. I think the phenomenon of the public becoming infatuated with whatever animal has been featured in the latest movie isn't restricted to Edinburgh.  Joyous! | Talk 23:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

message: While I was editing 'Current Events' I accidently deleted the images in 'Military Animals'. Could someone please try and find them and put them back, because I can't find them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross Rhodes (talk • contribs) 17:28, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, I'm just here to say that Future developments at Edinburgh Zoo needs some extension and improvements done to it. Please do help if you can. I've added all the info I've got for it from Wonders Never Cease, so there's no more I can do, so as I said, please do help make it better. I am considering merging the info onto this article if that's okay with you guys. Ross Rhodes (T C) Sign! 19:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  A little help please... 

message: I'm troubled by this article as it doesn't address the animal welfare issues associated with this zoo. I also feel that the 'opposition' section is woefully small and without any proper information. 
Almost all the citations for this entry come from the Edinburgh Zoo website, which provides a very biased overview of the subject matter. The article also, in my opinion, presents topics such as the polar bear, budongo trail, touch tables and penguins in a purely positive light, giving a biased viewpoint and skirting over the many issues and concerns surrounding these topics. This does a disservice to the Wikipedia reader who is probably reading the article due to a love for and interest in animals. These readers should be made aware of the problems connected with Edinburgh zoo before handing over their money and visiting such an institution.

message: The opening paragraph lists the Edinburgh Zoo as the second-most popular attraction in Scotland, with a source from the Edinburgh Zoo website from 2007. This information appears to be extremely outdated. For one, the Zoo itself no longer makes such a claim on its site, while VisitScotland has it at number 15 on its list (backed up by this BBC article from 2018). Someone more experienced than me want to make that change? 87.142.219.95 (talk) 18:45, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It may still be the second-most popular paid-for attraction after Edinburgh Castle, according to the ALVA website that the Infobox linked to. I am not entirely sure how to interpret these figures, though. ALVA only shows figures for the associated members, so does that give a reliable total score? For now I have chosen to update the visitor numbers in the Infobox based on the 2022 figures from ALVA, and to re-phrase the popularity to a more general "which makes it one of Scotland's most popular paid-for tourist attractions".--MichielN (talk) 22:12, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
