Am I missing something, or does the reference not actually say that the Zoo is the only one to have labels in an American Indian language? It says it has labels in Navajo, but it doesn't say anything about that not existing anywhere else. I could swear the Sonoran Desert Museum has some labels in O'odham... --ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ (talk) 05:45, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Contributor Conflict-of-Interest

I am announcing a conflict-of-interest with myself being the primary contributor to this site for the Navajo Nation Zoo.

I had 'inherited' the Navajo Nation Zoo's wiki-site after taking the director position at the Navajo Zoo in May 2010. It had been almost a decade since the site had been created, and a lot had changed in that period. I felt it my obligation to provide update to the site in Spring 2018. My intention with Wikipedia was solely to maintain the information on this site, but who knows...I may add a few things here-and-there to other zoological pages.

It should be clearly noted that: according to Wikipedia standards, I am not a un-biased contributor the Navajo Nation Zoo. I have an obvious conflict-of-interest in adding information to the wiki-page for the organization for which I am employed. But, after many years in this role, I figure there is no one else that will be keeping this page with current, accurate information. I am doing this solely to be sure that the Navajo Nation Zoo wiki-site is maintained as accurate; I am not receiving any monetary compensation for doing so.

If you find anything inaccurate, biased, or otherwise not in keeping with Wikipedia standards because of this conflict of interest, please let me know and it will be corrected.
