There's some important information in this article, but I think it really needs to be improved. It's got a very pseudosciencey feel to it, lots of missing citations and somewhat questionable claims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.254.65.130 (talk) 14:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned in the article about Koko, there's a lot of stuff in the popular press about the two signing gorillas, but very little primary data: however, the claim I happened upon in People.com today, that Michael may have described his dreams seems plausible. The claim isn't sourced: does anyone have an idea where this anecdote comes from? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:54, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
