Talk:Friedrich Robert von Beringe

Removed speedy deletion tag
On the day of this article's creation, someone tagged it db-hoax. Google Scholar gives over 200 hits for Robert von Beringe, many giving an account similar to the one in the article. I have removed the tag. --Stfg (talk) 09:01, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

A near-complete rewrite
This article was VERY sketchy, although accurate as far as it went. I've tried to fill it out wth more biographical data and more precise information about von Beringe's discovery of eastern gorillas. Unfortunately, much of the available info online about von Beringe is in German; very little is in English. I've translated/copied some material from the German Wikipedia article on him (as cited). I also have an email request in with another English author that might give us some good additional info, if I get copyright approval and/or upstream links to better original sources.
