Is this right 5ft high and only 27 inches long??? 86.6.206.39 09:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I messed it up here. The “27 inches long” is with respect to the horns, which I didn’t “get” back then. Will repair. --Van helsing 09:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Standing to 1m?
"Hartebeest stand to a bit over 1 m (3.3 ft)."

What does this mean? That an adult male stands about 1m at the shoulder, perhaps? And why standing to? Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:50, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * While it had already been specified to mean "at the shoulder" in one instance, I specified it for the other as well. The "stand to" is just a stylistic choice. A similar stylistic choice is used in the featured article Cougar. ö   Brambleberry   of   RiverClan  21:30, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Hartebeest
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hartebeest's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ITIS": From Mongalla gazelle:  From Llama:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:49, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Fixed a Mistake
I just fixed a mistake of the caption under the first image. It said it was in the Serengeti in Kenya, but the Serengeti is in Tanzania, and the description of the file also says Tanzania. Jubblubs (talk) 20:14, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Will check for any more errors. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Talk all words 08:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

de: link
Currently the link for the German language version goes to the article for the extinct variant of Nordafrikanische Kuhantilope. A better article would certainly be Eigentliche Kuhantilopen. I tried to fix it, but I've only been editing on Wikipedia regularly for 10 years or so, and I only have a degree in engineering, so I'm obviously much too stupid to figure out how to deal with this new way of managing the language links. Maybe someone in the know of the higher arcane workings can fix this? --BjKa (talk) 09:51, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right, but I think the issue has to be fixed by an admin on media wiki... FunkMonk (talk) 09:59, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Was redirected to this article whilst looking for Bubalis. I specifically wanted information about B. mauretanica. Is this the same animal as the bubal hartebeest? 216.255.171.122 (talk) 21:36, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
