Rumors
[edit]Anybody posting rumors of what might be replacing Python, DON'T. Please keep the article neutral and rumor-free.
Also, the claim made by the Serengeti Express commentators seem like weasel words and ad libs. It is not verifiable and keep this out of any of the pages until there has been an official word from the park.

Review
[edit]The general manager of Busch Gardens Tampa, William Thurman, expected the approval for the expansion was anticipated due to the recent success seen at the park in October 1975
seems oddly worded. What is specifically tripping me up isexpected the approval for the expansion was anticipated
Done Re-tweaked to: "In October 1975, the general manager of Busch Gardens Tampa, William Thurman, expected the expansion to be approved by the city of Tampa due to the recent success seen at the Busch Gardens parks." Adog (Talk・Cont) 20:37, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- Why is reference 12 titled "Tigers"?
Done Added the sub-titled header to the title as well found on page 1D of the St. Petersburg Times article. Adog (Talk・Cont) 20:37, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- Why is reference 23 used twice when it can just be used at the end of the sentence
she expressed "feeling a little unsteady on [her] feet but exhilarated."
?
Done Deleted. Adog (Talk・Cont) 20:37, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by Adog (talk). Self-nominated at 00:25, 2 September 2020 (UTC).
- @Adog: great work on improving this page to GA. My review follows:
General: Article is new enough and long enough |
---|
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |
---|
|
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |
---|
|
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px. |
---|
|
QPQ: None required. |
Overall: Nothing specifically wrong per se, but in the original hook, I would recommend linking "inversion" (and also removing the Florida link per MOS:OVERLINK). epicgenius (talk) 18:48, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Appreciate the review! Have corrected per suggestion and have done the QDQ. :) Adog (Talk・Cont) 19:26, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Adog: Thanks for the response. You don't need a QPQ for this one, though, since you've only had 2 promoted nominations so far; i.e. you can save the QPQ credit for a later nomination. epicgenius (talk) 20:05, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
