:The Asiatic Black Bear is not a part of the PC game, and is already mentioned in the paragraph text of the Downloads section...please do not add it to the list anymore...at very least, discuss the issue here.  This constant edit waring is tiring.  As a result, any changes made concerning the Asiatic Bear will result in a "3RR" warning being issued.Blipadouzi 19:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: At the expansion pack articles, it has a picture of the box art for the regular Zoo Tycoon 2, but not the expansion packs. Should it be that way? KdogDS 22:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I read the statement about the box arts for the expansion packs, and if you look at my articles Zoo Tycoon 2: Endangered Species and Zoo Tycoon 2: African Adventure, you will see the box arts.

message: Why on the Marine mania article does it show some animals, and on the Zoo Tycoon 2 article it says that the animals cannot be confirmed due to BETA testing? I fixed this.

Only the Musk Ox, Black Leopard, Asian Elephant and Addax are real.  The umpcoming animal is real too, but none of the others.  Panda Lover 15:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Has anyone heard of ghosts in the Endangered Species game?

replies: text: Nah, they probably aren't variant skins. If they were skins, they'd normally show up the moment you bought the animals. I've had a Croc that was normal to begin with, but turned transparent for no explainable reason. It might be because it had a glitch or sumthin. Or maybe Zoo Tycoon 2 was supposed to have ghost animals, and when the idea was abandoned, they simply dumped it somewhere where it was unlikely to be found, but could be picked up when they needed it. (like Blue Hell or sumthin). Yengkit19 07:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question... 

message: Whoever is vandalising the section saying that there are 97 kinds of animal, stop it. There are 98. It is blatantly obvious in the game itself, and it doesn't matter if two are the same species...kind and species are not the same. I mean, there are three varieties species of tiger in ZT1 (and two of those are varieties of the same sub-species), but nobody denies that there are 45 kinds of animal there (120 if you include all the official EXP packs/downloads). Just accept it.
There are 98 KINDS, but 97 SPECIES, and my edit explicitly said that. Dora Nichov 03:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Under Trivia, someone added that guests can be fed to lions. I've tried twice, and I haven't any luck, so I'm beginning to think it's a prank/joke/whatever. But as I've only tried twice, I can't really confirm whether it's true. Yengkit19 07:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I assessed this article as low-importance, as it's not a particularly important game, another game in the series has been rated low (which solidifies this impression) and the article itself doesn't suggest otherwise. Arguably more important is the fact I'm not going to promote it from start-class. Here's why:
* Extreme lack of sources. See WP:CITE, and look for sources from sites such as GameSpot and IGN to back up the information.
* The list of animals is unencyclopedic and better suited to a game guide rather than an encyclopedia article.
* Gameplay needs more wikilinks.
* The "bonus downloads" section could be merged into the "expansion" section. If it's taken out of its current list format (tables/lists aren't particularly encyclopedic) you could probably summarise it in a short paragraph.
* You don't need to have a separate section for each game mode: that's a common mistake. You could probably mention the differences in a single paragraph without losing the information.
* Fair use rationales are needed for all images included in this article. See WP:FURG and look at other screenshot/game box images from features articles to get an idea of what to do here.
* Critical reception section is missing. Look at some featured articles to see what to do for this section.
* Development section is missing. Again, look at some examples in other articles.
* Competition section has POV issues and seems to be entirely original research. Get hold of reliable sources to back it up, or delete it.
* The lead is in need of some major work. See WP:LS and remember that the lead section is meant to summarise the entire article.
