Talk:Monkey World

Questions to be answered
I have hunted around the internet and I cannot find the interesting details of how this center grew from 2 acres to 65 arces. Was the first 2 acre sanctuary totally self funded by Jim? What about the 65acre current sanctuary? Was it totally funded by Jim (a zoo worker)?... somehow this seems improbable, so who funded this? was the land donated? was it afforded just by the admission ticket sales? I hope someone can flesh out the details, it would be interesting to know how he did this and what foundations or individuals were involved in the growth of the facility. I think other sanctuaries or potential sanctuaries might find this information to be useful or inspirational. So if you know some details please help provide them. Thanks. -- Unsigned

Fair use rationale for Image:Monkeybusinessdvds.jpg
Image:Monkeybusinessdvds.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Friends of Monkey World
I have a site called Friends of Monkey World. I think it'd break wiki etiquette for me to add it to the page myself, as it is my site. So I'll just leave this note here, and if anyone else thinks that it is suitable for linking from the article, they can go ahead and add it. --dudegalea (talk) 07:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Original research and COI
The article appears to be frequently edited by one or more persons connected to Monkey World. Although these edits are likely made in good faith, editing articles with a subject you are connected to in some way is strongly discouraged – see Conflict of interest. These edits are also unsourced which would suggest original research: "Wikipedia does not publish original research or original thought.

The following document looks like it would be a good source of independent reference material

Are Additional citations still needed
The additional citation template was showing from 2009 and yet there have been many additions. Shouldn't this template be removed now? 212.159.5.89 (talk) 12:30, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
