Formatting issue

[edit]

The formatting on the first part of this article has been completely messed up for nearly a week ever since the last edit. Please fix. 2001:14BA:9CBC:4100:49AC:128F:4467:3B7D (talk) 19:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Need help with editing the taxonomy box in the infobox

[edit]

I’m trying to edit this article so that it displays the genus instead of the species since that is what the first paragraph in the article states. I tried reading a lot of information and looking at other articles, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Can you help me fix this? Please ping me when responding.

@Interstellarity: This looks to have been done - RichT|C|E-Mail 17:18, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better wording needed

[edit]

"Giraffes live in herds of related females and their offspring or bachelor herds of unrelated adult males but are gregarious and may gather in large aggregations" is rather infelicitous as gregarious and aggregation are versions of the same Latin word. Could we say "groups"? 90.240.117.141 (talk) 17:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just noting that this has been done (aggregations to groups). pillowcrow 22:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
