Magdalena Bermejo

[edit]
  • ... that Magdalena Bermejo estimated 5000 western lowland gorillas died in an Ebola epidemic?
  • ALT1 ... that of 143 gorillas Magdalena Bermejo studied in October 2002, only 13 were still alive four months later?

  • Contains a citation needed request. Prose (515 words) are fine. Sources mostly ok, but www.wilderness-safaris.com seems flashy and comercially diven (it asked me to "Choose my destination", and it's 'about us' section seemed to be a check-in area. Otherwise fine, but I'd really drop wilderness-safaris.com. The source for the hook is behind a paywall but the fact checks out in a google search; but maybe restate as a "2006 outbreak", so as not to be so vague. I think overall the page needs a relook before it maybe passed. Hold in other words. Ceoil (talk) 02:05, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
  • @Ceoil: Thanks for the comments. I was aware of some of these problems but didn't have time to fix them before that pesky five-day limit was up. I have a much better source than www.wilderness-safaris.com, and I'll finish improving the article in the next day or two. RockMagnetist (talk) 07:14, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
  • It's ready now. I think the second hook is better. RockMagnetist (talk) 23:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Inclined to agree. Hook check outs re source and is interesting, lenght ok, etc. Ceoil (talk) 20:26, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
