[edit] April 2007

• 29th - I requested a copy of the zoo logo and permission to use it, I also requested more up to date information about the animal collection. BeckyAnne 17:48, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
  • We can use the logo under fair use on this article. I think this would be suitable. But if they want to get us a nice, prettier looking one then so be it. :) Cburnett 00:04, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Ok, Will grab one, though that logo you linked is the Zoo Society Logo not the Zoo Logo. BeckyAnne 22:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] May 2007

Would any one be upset if this article was moved from John Ball Park to John Ball Zoo. John Ball Zoo is currently a redirect to park page. I would like to keep the article consistent with other WikiProject Zoo articles. BeckyAnne(talk) 19:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Makes sense to me, since there is a park but the article is about the zoo. For another example of this, see Reid Park Zoo. There is a "Reid Park" but there is nothing notable about it to have an article. --Spike Wilbury 03:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, unless someone opposes the move I will make the move next time I have a chance, is there anything special I need to know about to move a page? BeckyAnne(talk) 04:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
