I think Memphis has one of the best zoos in the country and I'd like to see more information about the events and innerworkings of the zoo.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The lead section of this article gives a great intro to the Memphis Zoo. It states the basics including the size of the zoo, the number of animals, and the recent amounts of money spent to renovate the zoo. It is fairly concise and briefly describes the sections that follow.

Content

All of the content in the article is relevant to the zoo though it is lacking in its Events and Incidents section. I'd like to see more information about each individual event as they are all different and important to the article. There is a lot of information about the Zoo Boo event as well as the Zoo Lights event that could be added to the article.

Tone and Balance

This article is written from a neutral point of view. Nothing seems biased to me. There is no persuasion anywhere either.

Sources and References

After clicking a few of the article's linked sources, many send me to a "This webpage does not exist" screen. Many of the broken links are old and outdated while most of the new ones work fine. These old links could see some updating.

Organization and writing quality

I think the History section could be organized a bit more with more content added. Maybe by 10 or 20 year increments. The Exhibits section is perfect to me organization wise. Writing quality is good all-around.

Images and Media

The images all enhance the understanding of the article in my opinion. Especially in the Exhibits section as it shows the animals in their exhibits which gives a nice visual of what is being read. I think the overhead satellite map of the zoo is a great addition too.

Talk Page Discussion

This article is B-class. The talk page is super small with the 2 most recent additions being from 2012 and 2018. The most recent is an attempt to fix the broken links.

Overall Impressions

I think this article is relatively strong when it comes to the history and exhibits sections. Everything that follows it is a bit weaker and could definitely use more content as it is underdeveloped. The events section could be expanded on with A LOT.
