Coordinates[edit]

I'm trying to find the coordinates to add it to the infobox and external links. The address I get from the website and into google maps yields this spot. Sat images are too low resolution for me to guess. If anyone has been there, can you find the exact location (lat & long) based on this? If you don't know how to get that into the article (see the likes of Henry Doorly Zoo's usage if you want to try) then just leave a message on my talk page and I can do it.

Thats it. I checked the map on their website and compared it to the google map and the roads match. The actual park borders that road, east and north of that spot, but that is the entrance. Polypmaster 16:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added. Cburnett 17:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Safari Vehicle Image[edit]

I've uploaded an image of the open air safari vehicle used to take visitors through the park. Can someone please insert the image into the article? My wiki skills are not great. Here's the image: The_wilds_safari_bus.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bikingshaun (talk • contribs) 03:28, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the photo. Perhaps it could be improved, but I've given it my best effort. Bikingshaun (talk) 03:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Advert[edit]

I've removed the advert warning on this article as it seems unjustified. If someone feels like the advert box is necessary perhaps they can justify it on the talk page. This article seems to be written in the same tone as other zoo pages. Bikingshaun (talk) 16:16, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Or perhaps they could just do the work to remove what offends them. As you say, this is written in pretty much the same tone as other zoo articles. I read it through, and did a bit of editing in the Conservation section, which was written perhaps a bit too much like it came directly from the organization. I don't see anything else even vaguely out of line. (For the record, I was NOT the one that placed the tag). Donlammers (talk) 18:47, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV tag[edit]

Added in the NPOV tag. I suppose this the old "advert" dispute above returned. Still, "cutting edge", "and more", and the whole strategic plan section (citing only The Wilds' website!) seem pretty clearly to push this into ad territory for me. --207.237.76.57 (talk) 05:56, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Attempted to make paragraph 1 more neutral while still giving the same information Removed "cutting edge" and "and more" 76.223.242.83 (talk) 16:39, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
