Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Olive baboon Ngorongoro.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on May 15, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-05-15. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! — howcheng { chat} 16:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
In the section "Communication", it's stated "Other vocalizations include ... "screams" (continuous high-pitch sounds responding to strong emotions)". Is it known that baboons have emotions? Does the cited book indicate that these monkeys are experiencing emotion? If this is an editorial choice to avoid verbiage like "in situations that, to the average human, would be emotionally charged", I can understand this shorthand. Still, maybe someone with access to the book could list out situations in which the "scream" is made? — Mwatts15 ( talk) 01:19, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Little action has been taken on the matters mentioned above by the nominator. However, fortunately another editor has corrected some of the prose which was too close to the source, and I find that the other copyvios suspected by "Earwig", were false positives where the Wikipedia article was copied by outside entities.

I think this article needs to use the dialect of English used in Tanzania and Uganda. -- John ( talk) 10:29, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
