Closed Animal ID

There are many correcly identified animal pics in "To be Identified" gallery.
Those should be moved to their respective galleries - for a certain zoo or a certain country's wildlife.
 
I didn't even know there was a "To Be Identified" gallery! If I need something identified I post it in the zoo where it was taken.

Seriously, they need to be moved! So only the doubtful and un-identified pics will leave.

it isn't as simple as waving a magic wand. It depends firstly on moderators having the time to do it, but also it is going to be a lot of work because there are almost 400 photos in there and to move ID'd photos to their respective galleries means looking at each one individually to see which zoo it belongs to and whether it has been identified satisfactorily etc (and also some people re-upload the same photo to the right gallery after identification so you'd end up with duplicate photos in those galleries).
 
I have reduced the ID gallery to just over 130 photos. All identified photos have been moved to their respective zoo galleries (or "other" or "wildlife"), or deleted if they were useless. With ID shots of wild animals the identified ones have either been moved to the "wildlife" galleries, or deleted if they were not good enough to bother keeping.

The only photos left in the ID gallery are:
1) ones for which no identification has been attempted;
2) ones where the identification suggestions are not solid;
3) where no locality for the photo is given (so they cannot be moved anywhere);
and 4) where there are currently no forum sections (i.e. Burma and Mongolia).

Any complaints let me know.
