Talk:Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

Page needs editing

The number of spelling and grammar errors are obvious at first glance and should be taken care of —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.53.145 (talk) 01:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Weasel words

"Today, it is considered by many to be one of the top zoos..."

Can anyone find some references to back this up? Cburnett 20:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, I found a link but not exactly the best of sources. Cburnett 03:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

If I remember right it is one of the top 10 US zoos. Nice or in evil (talk) 17:29, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Internal linking

Seems like a lot of unnecessary internal linking is in this article. Is it really necessary to link every unit of measurment? Seems a bit much to me. I like WP guidelines for internal links. Too many links are distracting. Hope that helps. A mcmurray 03:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Also I am pretty sure the type of information contained in the fee table is frowned upon on wikipedia. It's place might be Wikitravel. A mcmurray 06:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I tend to lean toward the liberal usage of links. My general guideline is one link per section (see Lied Jungle for example) if long enough because I don't want to have to go searching for a link. My choice is to leave as is but that's me.

As for prices: I agree. Instead, I thought it'd be interesting to make it historical so I hit archive.org and got prices back to 1999. The near doubling of admission in less than a decade is quite surprising & interesting and I think warrants encyclopedic inclusion instead of wikitravel. Cburnett 06:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Additional information available

• info on Tigers
• Genetic tests on Gorillas

Admissions fees

Is it really necessary to have a section on admissions fees? Funnyhat (talk) 21:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Current year: no. Span of near a decade: historical interest. If you have an prices that date back to 1894...I'd find that interesting too. Cburnett (talk) 23:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Pictures?

I have a really sweet pic of the rare white aligator. Would it be appropriate to post? 208.188.113.180 (talk) 05:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
