Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 19:50, 19 August 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol confirmed.svg The article was promoted to GA status on time, and thus meets sourcing, length, and paraphrasing requirements. A QPQ hasa been done, and both hook facts are cited inline and verified. Of the two hooks, the first hook is probably the more interesting one. While this won't prevent me from approving this and this is otherwise good to go, I was wondering Template:U if a third hook, about the zoo hoax (whether it be through the "this is a hoax" notice, or the claim that the hoax was written to highlight the then-sorry state of the zoo) could be proposed here as well.

  • ALT2 ... that in 1874, The New York Herald wrote a hoax story that claimed there had been a mass escape of animals from the Central Park Zoo?
  • ALT3 ... that in 1874, The New York Herald wrote a hoax story to draw attention to inadequate safety precautions at the Central Park Zoo?
