Merging Tulsa Zoo and Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum

Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum clearly should be merged with Tulsa Zoo (they are the same thing afterall). Most people simply refer to it as the Tulsa Zoo and truncate Living Museum. Ash Lux 00:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and taken care of this. Ash Lux 15:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should we change title to "Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum" and have "Tulsa Zoo" redirect to that? I think it would be more appropriate.

Photos

One photo does not obviate the need for photos. I am putting back the reqphoto tag. We need a photo of the zoo entrance and several more photos OF the zoo (not animal closeups which could be in any zoo).

Fixing neutrality and advertisment feel of text.

I'm muddypebbles. To be transparent I work at the Tulsa Zoo. My intent was to correct old information so that people knew which animals to expect and the names exhibits go by in 2019.

I would like to recommend the following changes to fix the advertisement feel:

Animals and Exhibits

Lost Kingdom Exhibit Complex

Change section text too: Lost Kingdom is the zoo's new home for Malayan tigers, snow leopards, Chinese alligators, siamangs, binturongs red pandas and Komodo dragons.[11]

Conflict of interest

Hi Jeff, Last year I made edits to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_Zoo

Those edits were removed because of the conflict of interest clause. I immediately changed of my username from TulsaZoo to muddypebbles. Then, I noted changes in the talk page as suggested, transparently listing that I am employed by the Tulsa Zoo. Can you please look to see if these changes fix the issues listed at the top of the page:

The neutrality of this article is disputed. (May 2019) This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (May 2019)

Thank you for your help! Muddypebbles (talk) 21:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC) (copied from this edit). — Jeff G. ツ 03:02, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
