Tricia The Elephant Died

Well 120.16.171.201 (talk) 13:13, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Details have been added. She was probably the single best known animal in Perth. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 08:47, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

We currently give 24 January 1957 as Tricia's date of birth, based on this news source. However, it's not clear to me whether Tricia was captured from the wild or born in captivity in Vietnam. We know that Tricia arrived in Perth in January 1963, so perhaps this is why the zoo celebrates her birthday on January 24. Ackatsis (talk) 00:17, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GAN

I think that this article is either at, or close to, a state where it can be considered a "Good Article". I would like to consult with Mitch Ames, Steelkamp, Ldawe, Therealscorp1an and of course, Ackatsis, before doing so. I consider it to solidly pass "B" class. It was perhaps for the best that my first nom of this page was not done correctly, and so was reverted, as it will take a while for the article to restabilise, once the high traffic (and therefore higher rate of drive-by vamdalism) has passed. That's enough waffling from me. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 07:07, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with good article policies, however ~~I plan to hopefully expand this article in the coming days with whatever information I find~~, so we could possibly put it up for good article nomination after that. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 21:28, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I have looked, but there is little information to expand upon. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 00:20, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
