Sea Life Brighton

Brighton Aquarium (now Sea Life Brighton) in 2018
- ... that when Brighton Aquarium (entrance pictured) opened, it had no exhibits?
- Source: Tim Carder, The Encyclopaedia of Brighton (1990), section 3. I have cited the hard-copy book, but text of this section of the book is reproduced in full at https://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/places/placeland/brighton_aquarium/sea-life-centre-4 and can be checked there.
- ALT1: ... that when Brighton Aquarium (entrance pictured) opened, it had no exhibits—but at the opening ceremony, Frank Buckland "produced, apparently from his pocket, a couple of juvenile alligators"? Source: As above for the first part. The alligators part is sourced to Clifford Musgrave (1981), Life in Brighton, page 284; again I have cited the hard copy book, but I think it may be available on the Internet Archive.

- Note that I (Hassocks) have added User:Fork me as a co-author following discussion on our talk pages; after the nomination was made Fork me expanded the article with material on the building's postwar history. I think I have made the necessary changes to the subpage to allow the credits to work correctly. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:36, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Holy shit, what a hook ALT1 is. Checked the source (it's on page 294) and it is indeed there. I wish it were possible to add that the babies became part of the collection, but alas it's pretty long. I would recommend, though, just piping Frank's page to some explanatory text like "a zoologist", since few people know who Frank Buckland is. Article 5x expanded since the 13th. No copyvio issues. This is an excellent article! A very thorough and complete history. What great work! Maybe a GA nom is due?
꧁Zanahary꧂ 03:33, 19 June 2024 (UTC) - I'm not going to vote on this as a co-author, but I think of the two ALT1 is the better one. The baby alligator story is great! Fork me (talk) 07:19, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- A note for any administrator who is promoting to queue, Earwig is not working. I also think the reviewer's ALT choice is meandering and ALT0 is succinct and conformed. Lightburst (talk) 00:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
