Talk:Georgia Aquarium

message: Is all the stuff about location really necessary? How is any of that stuff relevent to the topic? The location of the acquarium has been metioned earlier in the article, why are we trying to plug the prime real estate of that area in this article? How does it matter where CNN, Philips Arena and Ernst & Young are located? AreJay
:Agreed — There is a lot of stuff in that area (it is downtown Atlanta, so of course it's near a lot of things).  The aquarium is also very near the Georgia State campus, and in decent walking distance from Georgia Tech. ~ Booya Bazooka 22:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: A very nice article, but it needs footnotes. "General references" doesn't cut it when you've got so many specific facts.
Other than that, well-written and (especially) illustrated. Daniel Case 01:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The article casts a lot of doubt on the largest claim, but it doesn't actually note any competing aquariums that say they're larger.  Note that the Dubai project is not yet open for business, so it doesn't count.  If there are no active competing claims, this should just be stated as a fact.

message: In the section entitled Gallery, there is a box saying,"This section looks like an image gallery" as if it is a bad thing. This section is actually entitled Gallery, so it's idiotic to tell us it looks like an image gallery. Perhaps this tag should be removed.--STAR TREK enthusiast  Open channel 19:37, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia policy regarding image galleries does suggest that the number of pictures here may be excessive. We should look at the photos and determine those photos that best describe the aquarium itself. The article is about the aquarium, not the animals inside it. I count about 10 of the 16 photos that could be removed, personally. Opinions?  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 14:15, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the pictures give the reader a fuller picture of what the aquarium has to offer. Moving them to some other location would be negative impact on user experience, favoring some arbitrary rule that does not seem to make sense in this situation, imho.

message: I really don't think it is necessary to put a specific location of a Beluga whale sanctuary other than the one the article is about. This should be removed.  Belugaboy535136 talk  12:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Including Chicago's Shedd Aquarium" 

message: There's far too much detail about individual animals, their names, date they arrived, which tank they occupied temporarily while their regular tank was being redecorated, that two of them had formerly lived under a roller coaster in Mexico, the color of the wetsuits worn by guests when the Star Spangled Banner was played on air horns by deaf-blind oceangoing cheetahs, what the first necropsy showed, what the revised necropsy showed, what the necropsy would have concluded had the facts been different from what they actually were, et cetera, et certera, and so on and so forth. "Chef Wolfgang Puck's company manages catering services. The aquarium also includes a fairly large food court with tables extending into the main lobby." Really? Oh do go on! Are there free refills on the supersize sodas? EEng (talk) 17:36, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I recently visited the aquarium, and can confirm from personal account that both “Raven” the manta ray and “Trixie” the whale shark are deceased as of 2021. They each passed in 2020, and I know of at least one press release referring to Trixie’s passing. The article ought to be updated to reflect such a major change in collections.
