[edit] Gibbon wall partitions at the Met?
I removed this edit for comment here.
- <<Some say the Gibbon wall partitions (New York Metropolitan Museum of Art) reveal the true dual nature of the gibbon: troublesome yet speculative -- a notion that is highly debated to this day.>>
I also note the quality of that editor's other changes to Wikipedia. The Gibbon wall partitions at the Met may be notable enough for exposition in Wikipedia. But we would need some citations, such as perhaps a picture from the Met Website. Nevertheless, even if the Gibbon wall partitions at the Met are both 1) notable and 2) supported, still the Gibbon wall partitions have nothing to do with the "gibbons" that are the small apes in the family Hylobatidae. Any ideas? --Rednblu 20:21, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] social
Are gibbons social animals? The article doesn't say.--24.52.254.62 18:56, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nomascus hainanus
Groves vide Wilson & Reeder (2005) recognized Nomascus hainanus as a separate valid species and treated N. nasutus as a subspecies of N. concolor. This is based on his revision of the gibbon family (Groves, 2001).

Therefore, revise the species listing. 72.194.116.63 02:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC) Vahe Demirjian 18.28 21 February 2007.
