2011 edit

The article's first reference, to the statement that "Its River Journey building is the largest freshwater aquarium in the world", is based on a news release from the aquarium itself. Many tourist businesses make similar claims. It would be preferable to have a statement from an outside source along with a date, as in "As of July 3, 2010, it's River Journey building..."

Many sources list this aquarium as one of the top aquarium's in the nation. It should probably be added somewhere in the article. Also, a lot of this information is out of date, for example it does not mention much about the newest river otter exhibit. floydcaro (talk)

Conservation edit

The aquarium's numerous conservation efforts are not listed (or even mentioned) in this entire article. I believe adding a section about the aquarium's conservation attempts and triumph's will add a bit more structure and validity to this article as a whole. floydcaro (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 04:37, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Reply


For a little more background information about the Tennessee Aquarium, I believe adding a section about how it came to Chattanooga would add more depth. For example, it was funded by the Lyndhurst Foundation and private funds of the Lupton family. Catdirk (talk) 16:16, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Unresponsive nominator edit

This article needs little improvement to reach good article status so failing the review would be sad on a number of levels, however “If a nominator or other article editors are unresponsive and the article does not meet the criteria, then the nomination may be failed.” So while I understand that @BilCat:, @ZachofMS:, and @Floydcaro: have not touched the article recently, any assistance at all would prevent the review failing due to an unresponsive nominator.Abel (talk) 14:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Failure edit

With no response of any kind from anyone, I must fail the nomination. Abel (talk) 14:34, 15 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks so much for taking the time to review the article, Abel-- unfortunately, I wasn't able to check in while you were doing so. I will fix the issues you indicated, then resubmit. Womump (talk) 05:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Great prose.

2. Verifiable with no original research:
  2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.

Good references, formatted well.

  2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
  3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
  3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
  6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
  7. Overall assessment. Detailed and broad article. Definite pass. Well done.
