About Arikomban

The matter given here are all false information. He is a magnificent elephant and high court has already declared there is no evidence for the said killings. He is only a victim of the resort Mafia in Kerala. He had trianquilized and translocated tragically and brutally two times by Kerala and Tamilnadu forest depts for the mafias. All people of Kerala lovea him and wants him back but we don't know why TNFD had done to him ,no updates are there about him . 2402:8100:3922:1CC0:0:0:0:1 (talk) 14:23, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

This is wikipedia, a global source of information rid of personal biases and opinion. The article is anything but. 88.152.186.228 (talk) 14:30, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

POV

Words like Mafia, the entire biased article, also suffering from multiple issues, is written in POV fashion, most probably by animal rights activists. Claims like all people love him etc, are unsourced, and the critical tone against the Forest Depertment who are trying to solve this problematic case, without killing the animal, are prtrayed in a very biased way.

Kerala is an ecologically sensitive area where land is a big concern due to high population density and so these human-man issues. Elephant renting/taming is big business in kerala and these wild elephants are captured and tamed for it .Since Arikomban case drew much attention he was not captured and made a kumki elephant and was relocated. I am quite new to wikipedia. Could you let me know how I can improve the contents. Jjmgwiki (talk) 16:16, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

The last reasonable version of the article seems to be Special:Permalink/1159804585, which is where editors might like to start again from. Uncle G (talk) 10:47, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

I'd support rolling it back to there; better outdated than quite so soapboxy. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and restored that revision. DrowssapSMM (talk) (contributions) 15:15, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
