Question?
[edit]Have NOTNEWS, RECENTISM and the 10YT all been repealed and I missed the memo? -Ad Orientem (talk) 20:22, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
- If you believe the article shouldn't be here under those standards, you're welcome to nominate it for deletion. I've seen a lot of articles nominated recently under those standards that seemed to be on much less shaky ground. ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:21, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
- The subject is clearly notable. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:00, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
April's offsping...
[edit]I am new as a member here..so I really dont know how to go about changing and fixing the misinformation..but April has had 5 total offspring counting Tajiri..the others being Jace. Autumn, Levi..and the elusive Jigsaw whobwas taken early because April quit feeding him leading her current keepers in Airondocks to believe she was pregnant again..therefore moving Jigsaw to another facility to be cared for..I have a friend who has been doing amazing research and can verify all her info into the 5 offsping..their fathers...and even farther back. I think her group on facebook is All About Mamma April. She can help with TONS of verification into lineage. ShaunMichaelSimpson (talk) 12:19, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Confusion reigns supreme
[edit]Most sources say that she was 20 when she died. However, of those which have a birth year, the only one that I've seen so far is 2002. That would make her 18 or 19, depending on whether she was born before or after her death date i.e. day and month (I note that the birthdate in the article does not appear to be sourced thus far). To add to the confusion, her official website states that she was 18 in 2017, which would make her 22 or 23. I also note that the source used for the birth year of 2000 (in the first line of the Life section), actually says 2002. Clearly, the source info MUST match the article. Editrite!

Picture in this in NOT April
[edit]FYI the picture here is not April. It is Johari. I removed the picture and caption, but someone put it back. UGH — Preceding unsigned comment added by AFoust (talk • contribs) 22:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- I suggest you have a discussion about
This picture was NOT April, it is Johari
with commons:User:PatrickHipes, who uploaded the original as their own work with the descriptionApril the Giraffe at Animal Adventure Park
. - PatrickHipes has over 10,000 edits on Commons: & Wikidata. Given that you have about 4 edits as of this edit that I am making, who should I believe? Perhaps if you offered some compelling verification other than your own original resarch ... Peaceray (talk) 00:44, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
