Talk:Walt Disney World/Animal Kingdom

Star nomination archive

Walt Disney World/Animal Kingdom

I believe this article is now up to the standards established with Epcot and Hollywood Studios. All attractions are listed, as well as all restaurants and hotels. I believe the map is about as good as possible, although I'm not 100% happy with it; suggestions are welcome. (Suggestions are also welcome for the rest of the article, too, of course.)

• Support. A very well written and formatted article. One small comment on the map - you might want to show a label with a directional arrow for Rafiki's Planet Watch on the main map. It took me a while to figure out where Rafiki's was in relation to the main map. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 05:13, 22 November 2009 (EST)

• Support. Can't find anything wrong with it myself, although I like Burmesedays' suggestion. (WT-en) PerryPlanet ^Talk 17:57, 23 November 2009 (EST)

• Support. I am absolutely impressed by the way this came out. (WT-en) Jonathan 784 11:24, 25 November 2009 (EST)

• Comment. I've added a label to the main map directing readers to the inset. (WT-en) LtPowers 13:57, 27 November 2009 (EST)
• Promoted. (WT-en) LtPowers 14:53, 14 December 2009 (EST)

Alternative banner for this article?

Banner currently used in this article

Suggested new alternative banner

I have previously created an alternative banner for this article (which was initially created for the parallel article at the Hebrew Wikivoyage, but I decided to suggest we'll use it here at the English Wikivoyage article as well). Which banner do you prefer that we'll use on the top of this article? ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 13:31, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

• The current banner shows very little. The new banner is more interesting. Ground Zero (talk) 18:14, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Agreed. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:11, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Destar nom

Walt Disney World/Animal Kingdom (destarnom)

Many of the listings don't have coordinates and very few listings have addresses. Without either of these, you'd need to do some outside research as to see where the listings are. In my opinion, this seems more a usable article than a star or a guide article. I would ideally fix this myself but this is way too much work to do for a star article. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 23:46, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

• I can see the reason why coordinates would be useful, but do locations within Disney parks have addresses that are more specific than the park address? --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 15:43, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

  Not sure. I only visited this place when I was a seven-year old child which was too long ago to remember. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 21:53, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

• Powers is the main author of the Disney articles. He is not always here, and I think it's very important not to de-star any of these articles without waiting for his input and giving him a chance to edit them. So I oppose these nominations, at least for now, and without even rereading the articles, and I have full confidence that Powers will do everything to satisfy any criticism unless he were to choose not to spend the time working on them. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:05, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

  I just noticed that these two articles were also given a destar nom before by Traveler100. I hope these articles will be improved and remain as star, but until then, a lot of our guide articles are a lot better. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 22:35, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

All of the Walt Disney World articles are quite out of date as I fell behind on updates several years ago and I didn't want to miss something, so de-starring is probably reasonable. However, I don't quite see the point of coordinates for attractions within the theme park. Powers ^(talk) 14:23, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

I think that this kind of closed attraction (and airports) are one of the few places where static maps are likely to be better than a dynamic map. The current set of coordinates could confuse readers as the numbers don't match the numbers on the map. I wouldn't back de-starring just because it lacks coordinates if it has a good static map. However if it needs an update for other reasons than de-starring is the right course. AlasdairW (talk) 19:06, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

All see and do now I have coords or directions if I couldn't find exact coordinates. I didn't do all for blizzard beach though as it seemed to be filled with minor attractions where I couldn't find coords, if you want each blizzard beach listing to have coords I'll gather them for you though. Tai123.123 (talk) 05:16, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much :) The article is looking better now. Now just the buy, eat and drink left. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 05:24, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Yep I'll either do it later tonight or tommorow Tai123.123 (talk) 05:29, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

@SHB2000 Finished Coords, I was unsure if to get coords for the resort dining listings as they are listed under the resorts which already have coords Tai123.123 (talk) 00:38, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Nice work as always. To the ones in the resorts, I'm not sure to be fair and would defer to someone else. You can, but there's no information lost if there aren't any. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 00:41, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

If they are obvious once you are there, I'd say coords just add clutter. However, the listing with the coords should be clearly pointed out. –LPfi (talk) 09:23, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

As both articles have been brought up back to a star quality article by both Tai123.123 and SelfieCity, can I slush both nominations? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 06:55, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Springs has the Wikivoyage:Boring problem so keep that one, I don't know enough about American chains to deal with that myself. Animal kingdom should be fine though. Tai123.123 (talk) 06:57, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Okay, sure. I'll slush this one tomorrow if there's no objections. Thank you again for turning it back to a star quality article :-). For the Disney Springs one, I'll take a look at them (I'm somewhat familiar with them), but I'll leave it to our Americans from the east to pick as to which ones stay and which ones go.
