This is disputed and the article is generally very one sided. - FrancisTyers 18:29, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Agree that this article is quite POV and one-sided. We're making active attempts to take an NPOV approach to the same topic at Koko (gorilla). At some point, this article should be edited to conform. Martinp 04:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Multiple articles on great ape language

This article is one of at least 16 articles on Wikipedia primarily about the fascinating but controversial subject of Great ape language. These articles have been created independently and contain much interesting but uncoordinated information, varying levels of NPOV, and differences in categorization, stubbing, and references. Those of us working on them should explore better coordinating our efforts so as to share the best we have created and avoid unnecessary duplication. I have somewhat arbitrarily put the list of 16 articles on Talk:Great ape language and would encourage us to informally coordinate efforts there. Martinp 18:02, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
