    I skimmed through the first ten pages and couldn't see any which have galleries. Report the ones which have galleries and they can be moved (you don't need to report every single photo for a specific zoo - if they are all grouped together just report one and say which page it is on so they can be found easily).

    So go through and report each one and say the album it should be in.

    At this point I'm going to have to ask @jobalba to pause creating new zoos and galleries from this thread.

    We have had an explosion of new facilities being added - and many don't have any content and are simply creating clutter.

    I will discuss with the moderators and come up with a new plan for how we will manage new requests.

    Would this potentially include going through the galleries and tags and removing empties? Approximately 25% of the US gallery listings are empty and close to equivalent for threads...

    Yes, when I have time I will investigate this and clean up unused zoos.

    The current system I have for managing the zoo database requires both the gallery and the thread prefix to be added at the same time - you can't have one without the other.

    So if there are either photos in the gallery but no threads using the prefix, or vice versa - then I can't remove them.

    But if there are no photos and no discussion about the facility - then there's no point having it there.

    My longer term goal would be to separate this all out so that we can build a more complete zoo database without necessarily adding clutter to the forums and galleries - but that's going to require a significant amount of programming work to make that happen.

    What about places with no live animals, like certain museums? Many, many facilities with prefixes (at least in the United States section) are of places that currently have no live animals, or at least only have pictures uploaded of fossils and such. There are also a couple of pet shops and at least two domestic-only farms. Will all these potentially be removed if they don't fit a certain "zoo" criteria?

    At this point I am only looking at facilities that have been created but aren't being used.

    You may have already seen this, but I put together a thread on the subject a little while ago. Some of the listings are outdated and there have been many added; if it would be helpful I don't mind rerunning through and updating it, if it would be of use.

    I hope you don't have too strict of a deadline for this? I just requested galleries for two zoos, and I have a whole batch of exhibit photos to upload, but I'm quite busy right now, so the galleries will probably remain empty for the next week or so (I wasn't as busy when I originally requested them, it just took a couple of weeks before they were created).
