Severe article issues
[edit]This article was linked on reddit, and I immediately noticed it has very serious issues. Pretty much everything from the Behavior section and below is not in line with Wikipedia's Manual of Style. YouTube links (which are not supposed to be listed in the article as URLs anyway) are not considered reliable sources unless they come from verified accounts. Since these appear to be from a general user account and don't contribute anything to the article aside from fluff, I feel they should be removed.
Images should not be directly linked into article text as they are in the 'Special Skills' section (which should also be formatted as 'Special skills' to conform with Wikipedia Manual of Style).
The factoids in the Popularity section read like trivia. Trivia lists are not allowed in Wikipedia articles. A lot of this information can be recycled as actual encyclopedic content, but honestly, the way it looks and reads now, it's more like someone's fan blog for the gorilla. At the very least, I see that sources are being used/linked (although I cannot verify them myself and there are a lot, so their reliability is questionable), but to me the article looks like a spaghetti mess in its current state.
