    Anyone has the power to edit Zootierliste, you just have to register. :)

    There lies the problem for the UK side of it,too many people editing it,just from websites having never visited,or visiting and not knowing what they are looking at,so just adding what they think it is with out checking!!!

    That doesn't only go for the UK side, all countries on ZTL have to deal with that. There are of course a lot of people that add animals that aren't actually in the collection but a lot lists are quite accurate, that would probably never be achieved if there were only a limited amount of editors. If someone adds an animal that isn't actually in that collection it's my 'task' as an editor to remove it. Not my favourite activicty but oh well, someone has to do it! ;)

    Now I know who's ears to chew the next time somebody adds Whipsnade as a holding for krugeri Lions,which they most certainly aren't although they did come from West Mids,but just not from the inbred Talcum Powder Lions!!!

    In my case it would be a case of re-registering which I will not do,as I got sick of some idiots changing things with out any knowledge of if stuff had left or been moved off-show at certain collections!

    Thanks to who ever edited zootierliste :).

    I made an account and tried signing in, but it won't work, so that is why I couldn't do anything about it.
