Hello, I'm Bsoyka. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Nature and Wildlife Discovery Center because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hi Bsoyka. I believe the external link is relevant given the history of the Nature and Wildlife Discovery Center.

From entry:

The Arkansas Valley Audubon Society established the Audubon River Trails Nature Center in 1979 to preserve a public-use area. Sunnyday24 (talk) 22:18, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to North Carolina Solar Center. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you. OnlyNano^talk 22:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OnlyNano. I do not believe the information I added as incorrect as it came directly from the link provided in the entry. Additionally here is an article from NC State College of Engineering noting the change: https://engr.ncsu.edu/news/2023/06/06/solar-and-much-more-nc-clean-energy-technology-center-marks-35-years/#:~:text=Its%20name%20was%20changed%20to,Center%20(NCCETC)%20in%202014.

Here is an additional article from The News&Observer:
