thread_title:  News sources to be added 

message: I'm proposing to merge the subspecies articles for Indian Javan Rhinoceros, Vietnamese Javan Rhinoceros and Indonesian Javan Rhinoceros into this article.  The subspecies really only differ in terms of conservation history; virtually everything known about the species comes from the Indonesian subspecies.  We can deal comprehensively with all subspecies in this article whereas to write a comprehensive article at the subspecies level would consist almost entirely of redundant content.  To be clear, I am proposing to delete absolutely no information, merely to merge everything into one place so that it is better organized, better sourced (few sources deal with the subspecies individually), and better contextualized. --JayHenry 05:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Strong support - makes no sense having five disjointed articles. Deal with them all together - people tire of having to click on linked articles. --Merbabu 07:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Support. No need to create sub-species, unless the topic reaches substantial article size. — Indon (reply) — 11:36, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: Can we change the first photo to one that doesn't seem to glorify the killing of these animals? Given their status and the terrible over hunting that occurs, I agree that the photo should stay, but let's put a more appropriate endearing photo first. Whoever put that there had their head in the clouds. --Bentonia School (talk) 03:34, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, here's the thing -- it's all about copyright.  The problem is that there are no photos of this animal that are not protected by copyright.  This was the only photo of the animal taken before 1923, which is when copyright laws kick in to effect.  If you have a picture of a Javan Rhinoceros, that you've taken yourself, we can use it.  But there are only 50 in the world and none are in zoos, so taking their pictures is quite tricky :) --JayHenry (talk) 04:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone get me a plane to Java and I will take it.  Seriously though, could anyone contribut a photo?

replies: text: I suppose not, tragically. BBC: The Vietnam rhino, as well as being the last of the species on mainland Asia, was also the last known surviving member of the Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus subspecies. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 12:34, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus extinct? 

message: I think I mean 'Indermis'...
Anyway, in the section about the subspecies, it states that the Indian subspecies gets its scientific name 'indermis' because males have small horns, and females have NO horns. Yet, later on below, there is a drawing labeled as a female 'indermis,' and there's clearly a horn on it's nose. So it seems clear to me that it's NOT a pic of 'indermis,' or its at least inaccurate. Of course, I'm no expert, but, still... 147.226.222.102 (talk) 23:10, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's the source of the image I'm not sure why it is captioned as belonging to that sub-species. FunkMonk (talk) 23:28, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's some info on specimens, and it seems that there was a one horned specimen in London Zoo, so the caption is likely incorrect. FunkMonk (talk) 09:49, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The shot rhino (the one with a hunter) seems to be incorrectly identified. Considering the shape of its head, its hoofs and its size, it is most likely a Sumatran Rhinoceros.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.37.205.231 (talk) 20:52, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Is this animal really extinct or Critically endangered? Need to edit either of the pages on basis of the facts.
Is it a sub species?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohitkr05 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link from "Extinct Animals" 

message: The article at the moment generally calls this species the "Sunda rhino" as a result of this edit (the sole contribution of the user) back in December 2013, undiscussed as far as I can tell. Given the overwhelming prevalence of "Javan rhino", not to mention the article's title, surely this should be reversed. Frickeg (talk) 05:19, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Is it really a good idea to all but give directions to would be poachers?! All of the rare rhinoceros pages list their locations. It just seems like you should want to make it at least a little bit of a challenge for a poacher to find them! 206.174.95.69 (talk) 08:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia articles do not prevent people from poaching : that is definitely the task of local authorities to  strengthen protection measures, and enforce laws and regulations!! – BhagyaMani (talk) 08:50, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, Wikipedia is just citing other available sources for the locations. Even if they were removed here, they would still be available. In any case, you can be very sure poachers don't use Wikipedia to find animals in their own countries, they'd just ask locals. FunkMonk (talk) 10:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly! They may not even have to ask locals, because they are locals themselves. I recall one who admitted to have killed some 20 when he was caught by police: he was illiterate. – BhagyaMani (talk) 10:58, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
