"Gio masks are crude and blockly and the people wear when teaching young people how not to behave." Uh, is "blockly" even a word? I assume the sentence should read "people wear them when teaching..." Muzilon ( talk) 10:55, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
More relevant than that, I'd like sources for "Chimpanzees are rarely represented in African culture, as people regard them as too close to humans for comfort." Somewhat related to the subject of cultural knowledge, "Who Knows What About Gorillas? Indigenous Knowledge, Global Justice, and Human-Gorilla Relations", from the abstract, "Indigenous knowledge of gorillas is almost entirely absent from the global canon. The absence of African accounts reflects a history of colonial exclusion, inadequate opportunity, and epistemic injustice." Already provides a more satisfying "explanation." Extremophile ( talk) 20:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Lately, there has been a lot of vandals/trolls who have vandalized the page. So maybe this page needs to be protected so that only auto-confirmed users could edit the page, reducing the chance of vandalism. DinosaursRoar ( talk) 19:32, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Should the "Use in research" subsection of this article include images of both Ham and Eos, the chimps who have been sent into space? Or would one image of one of them suffice? LittleJerry ( talk) 00:55, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
You should have "checked the other recent edits" because I added information on both Ham and Enos in the section so I could remove the Enos image due to sandwiching. LittleJerry ( talk) 12:59, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
|total_width=
parameter can be adjusted to match the map above it in the article. The captions can be set for each image or a combined one added with |footer=
, which seems best here. —

08:59, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Wrote up a caption which seems to get everything in while keeping it brief. Since the section being discussed is the 'chimpanzees as research subjects' section the caption accents this status while giving the individual apes their due historical respect. Personally I'd place the portrait image of Enos near the top of the page. Should have been given a ticker-tape parade. Randy Kryn ( talk) 03:21, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
After changing the slang word 'chimp' to the proper name 'chimpanzee' Little Jerry reverted dozens of instances on this page in good faith. The proper name for chimpanzee is chimpanzee, not Chimp. Although chimp is listed as an alternate name in the lead, many pages have slang terms listed as alternate names but they aren't used as descriptors in the text of articles. The species name is chimpanzee, the title is Chimpanzee, and aside from those obvious points for using the full species name, "chimpanzee" gives the animals the proper respect as a cousin animal. Randy Kryn ( talk) 22:43, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
There has been so much vandalism lately on this article, so this is why the Chimpanzee page needs protection (possibly indefinite) against vandals. Therizinosaurus2 ( talk) 05:36, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
It's just that how come this image is used for speciesbox anyway? Esagurton ( talk) 14:57, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
I notice a CN tag was reverted at this section, because it is stated in the ref at the end "Werness, H. B. (2007). The Continuum Encyclopedia of Animal Symbolism in World Art." I get a snippet view that suggests something like that, but it is a quirky statement in tertiary source. The section could be improved, if some agreement on what "in culture" is possible. ~ cygnis insignis 01:41, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
I made the spelling of "behavior" and "behaviour" consistent, and my edits were reverted. Is consistent spelling not more professional? Cassie Schebel ( talk) 16:16, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
Apologies, the issue has now been resolved.

This article says "The oldest known male captive chimpanzee to have been documented lived to 66 years, and the oldest female, Little Mama, was over 70 years old." But apparently J. Fred Muggs is 71 years old. Either that chimp is actually dead or the record lifespan needs to be changed. 2607:FB91:188:9A00:AE:A558:31B7:9023 ( talk) 00:00, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

in section Characteristics, third paragraph is currently: "Chimpanzee skin that is covered with body hair is white, while exposed areas vary with it being white passing with age into a dark muddy colour in eastern chimpanzees, freckled on white which with age becomes muddy in colour and heavily mottled central chimpanzees; and black forming butterfly-shaped white mask that with age darkenings in western chimpanzees."
extremely strange phrasing on this sentence, i would change it to:
"Chimpanzee skin that is covered with body hair is white, while exposed areas vary: white which ages into a dark muddy colour in eastern chimpanzees, freckled on white which ages to a heavily mottled muddy colour in central chimpanzees, and black with a butterfly-shaped white mask that darkens with age in western chimpanzees."

Please change the confusing and misleading "physical strength 1.5 times greater than humans" to "muscles 50% stronger per weight than those of humans" ("mass-specific"), which is what the linked reference actually supports; particularly clear in its discussion appendix.

I'm planning on nominating this article for FA by mid-April to early-May. I'll be working on it next week Tuesday; who else wants to join? I'm also working on the narwhal and bonobo articles, so a little help would be really helpful. I feel like it's time this article gets Featured. I already recruited Chiswick Chap. Wolverine XI ( den • 🐾) 18:07, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
In the interest of not edit warring with @ Wolverine XI, I'm starting a discussion about whether the word robust should be linked to Robustness (morphology). I believe it should, since there are multiple meanings of the word in different fields, and the use of the word robust did confuse me when I first read this article.
