[edit] Pictures
If someone has a good photograph of the zoo itself (view from above for example), it could be a good replacement for the polar bear picture -- sdalu 09:41, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- What polar bear picture? Cburnett 20:09, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Problem...
This article is a little fawning, don't you think? Sounds like it's been written by SDZ's manager.
Info about how good/bad the zoo is, is not relevant to Wikipedia.
Whether or not the monorail ride is 'pleasant' doesn't belong here, along with quite a few other things.

- I've tweaked it so it doesn't read so much like a love letter now. Just for the record, it's not a monorail, it's more like a gondola lift. -- Norvy (talk) 15:13, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
- hard not to fawn if you've been there. It really is one of the best zoos- maybe *the* best, and lots of people grew up going there. And the tram is pleasant, as much as that can be objective and not subjective- it's roomy and comfortable, moves at a smooth mellow pace, great temperature. Nicer than most peoples' homes, I'd guess. 204.69.139.16 (talk) 19:54, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

- This is getting off topic, but I prefer the Henry Doorly Zoo and Milwaukee County Zoo over the SDZ. :) Cburnett (talk) 20:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox
I've added a list of some of the exhibits to the infobox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.33.186 (talk • contribs)
[edit] When do you add info on new exhibits?
Hello editors. I am one of the major contributing editors for an article on the Good Zoo at Oglebay Park in Wheeling, WV. I would like to know when you usually add information about new exhibits to your article. The Good Zoo is scheduled to open a new exhibit very soon, but as far as I know they haven't announced the date or specifics to the general public. In the interest of preventing a conflict between myself and official representatives of the Good Zoo, I am asking your opinion on this matter. Do you generally wait until after the members/VIP opening night or until after the exhibit is opened to the general public? I have never been publicly approached by representatives of the zoo in regards to my contributions to the article, but "representatives" have said in the past (through the article's talk page), "Many people on staff have read this article and applauded his work." My concerns are based on this comment,"...please make sure to be careful on here. We certainly don't want any of our volunteers getting into a bad situation," which was made on Wikipedia before the first comment I mentioned. I have a firm belief that, while they know I volunteer at the zoo, they do not know exactly who I am. I wish to remain anonymous in this endeavor, so I would like to keep all conflicts to a minimum. That is why I am requesting your assistance. Thanks for all your help! (I ask that you leave any suggestions on my talk page)Morganismysheltie (talk) 23:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
