• For "tall" images, use "upright" instead of a specific width. (fixed)
• Still need to put in state even though 'Navajo Nation' is used, as a lot of people (including myself) won't know where in the US Navajo Nation is, even though most people will have heard of it (but even that can't be presumed).
  • ??? it says Window Rock, Arizona. Or what do you mean by "state"? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 04:02, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
    • Maybe move the state's name, like this: Window Rock, Navajo Nation (Arizona), United States... will that be clearer? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 04:06, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
      • I had to modify the text to include Arizona. You're proposal above is also fine. Arsenikk ^(talk) 08:09, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

• Funding lacks reference. For this sort of things, the official site will be more than fine. (fixed Donlammers (talk) 23:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC))
• Convert acres to hectares, not sq km. (fixed) (additional instance fixed Donlammers (talk) 23:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC))
• Second paragraph of "Exhibits and mission" need refs.
  • Good point. That was left in from the old stub. I'll try to find something; if not I'll remove it. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 04:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
    • It seems any references to the vegetation have disappeared... or maybe the person who started the stub just mad it up. Removed. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 04:22, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
      • FYI I found this: http://wikimapia.org/6620831/Navajo-Nation-Zoological-and-Botanical-Park. This contains identical text, so obviously one copied the other (though I can't tell which direction) and we can't use it as a source. I spent a bit of time yesterday as well, and can't find references to plants -- strange for a "Zoo and Botanical Garden."

• The article uses a slightly informal language sometimes, such as "welcomes" and "in this spirit". I made some copyedits to try to make it more encyclopedic. (fixed)

Most enjoyable article. I came over some small issues which I fixed most, some GA-criteria-relevant, some perhaps not. What remains are two places where references are needed. Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:40, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

One thing I forgot: three of the links in the refs to the official site are now dead. Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:43, 2 July 2011 (UTC) (fixed Donlammers (talk) 01:48, 3 July 2011 (UTC))

It seems these have been fixed. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 04:12, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations with a good article. Arsenikk ^(talk) 08:09, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
