Hyde Park, Cincinnati

The Hyde Park in question where candlelight vigils were held for Harambe is the neighborhood in Cincinnati, not the one in London, that needs to be changed. 184.167.242.59 (talk) 15:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC) Reply

The article in the citation refers to a vigil held in Hyde Park, London, not Cincinnati. Although there is a Hyde Park neighborhood in Cincinnati, it's not where the vigil in question was held. ~2026-31742-70 (talk) 00:44, 29 May 2026 (UTC) Reply

"Music" section of article is completely unneeded and repetitive.

Multiple mentions of musical homages are already mentioned in the previous section, so why is there a music section with one singular entry? (also unsourced and referencing an artist without their own article).

I can't edit because I am an IP user and prefer to stay anonymous, but I would seriously consider acting upon removing the "music" section and just adding that line of text to the previous section. 167.102.183.145 (talk) 18:35, 25 April 2025 (UTC) Reply

Gone. No indication of notability. Added in March but went unnoticed apparently. -- Green C 01:47, 26 April 2025 (UTC) Reply

Was the person who was dragged by Harambe 3 or 4? Also, it says that "he was grabbed and violently dragged and thrown by Harambe." This seems a little misleading, no? Judging based off of the video, he didn't seem to be thrown around. In fact, the New York Times article explicity states, "'He wasn’t throwing him around,' Ms. Nicely said. 'He wasn’t mauling him to death, which is what I thought was going to happen.'" Existing Human (talk) 03:01, 10 October 2025 (UTC) Reply

@GreenC, thanks for checking my edit. I didn't see the 15' figure on the infographic since when I opened the article the images didn't load (). I can only see it in the archived version which I didn't check when making the edit. Perhaps it's worth adding a note to the citation.

Just a minor quibble, but do we have a source for "to investigate the child splashing in the water"? I mean it makes sense but I don't see it mentioned explicitly in the article. Alaexis ¿question? 06:30, 29 May 2026 (UTC) Reply

Splashing also in infographic. Maybe you have a spam blocker that blocks the image? -- Green C 15:56, 29 May 2026 (UTC) Reply
Right now the article says that this was Harambe's *intent*. Alaexis ¿question? 20:47, 29 May 2026 (UTC) Reply

Jersey is not in England

The reference to the Jambo incident should be updated. 1. Jersey is not in England. 2. Gun laws in Jersey are different to those in England and even today guns remain more accessible than in the UK. 3. UK Gun laws were hugely tightened following the Dunblane massacre in the late nineties. This came after the 1986 incident. ~2026-34351-36 (talk) 23:51, 11 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Fixed. This was an Australian publication quoting an American, so it was bound to flop. Einsof (talk) 00:26, 12 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
