just in case anyone takes a weedwhacker to this article (and it needs one) please keep in mind that when it was started, inline cites weren't common. it seems that what is listed as External links may in fact be the references for the article. Those of us passing thru should try and fix these references as inline cites when we can. Thanks.LiPollis 12:06, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I have moved most of them up into a reference section and have been moving some to the footnote system - I suspect most of the requests for sources and quotes can all be referenced using those links. I can't work out what "(Cleve Hicks, March 2007)" refers to but if anyone can find it drop it in the reference section (prefereably footnoted). (Emperor 13:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Clean Up

Bili Apes are just big chimps which are less and less like Gorilla's the more thet is learned about them. The article points this out is some places but then contradicts is in many others. Overall an absolutely horrible article.

I completely agree with the above statement. The article mixes a number of outdated, spurious, sensational, and just plain false media reports with the rather uninteresting facts that these are just an interesting population of chimpanzees. The article needs to be completely overhauled.

Amman vs Ammann

Parts of the entry use both varients, the wiki entry on Karl Amman uses one n, but his website two. I know this is a very minor nitpick, but surely it can't be that hard to get someone's surname right? I initialy went by the Wiki entry on him, and removed the second 'n', but i think if his own website is anything to go buy, then it should be double n here and on the wiki entry on him.

Any Pictures?

Some articles refer to them as "grey", similar to the apes in Michael Crichton's Congo. If people have seen them, why are there no pictures?
