Talk:Jim Corbett National Park

message: When was this National Park Established? The first reading says "Established on 1936 BCE as Hulalala National Park" while the info box says it was established on 1921. So when was it actually established? Nissim 14 (talk) 04:34, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

2. WP:UNITS: No results turned up for mile. Since I don't see a mile/km conflict kindly point out where are we violating the rule as I have not been able to detect it.
3. I'm neutral regarding the use of any template (:Template:Protected areas of India or :Template:WildlifeofIndia). Any template can be implemented by any editor.
That's about it. The article's looks good and if a WP:UNITS flaw is detected then please let me know so I can fix it.

thread_title:  Beautiful template 

message: This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write.  This is how the article, as of November 14, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?:  Prose is readable, and mostly complies with the Manual of Style. National parks are not one of the titles to be italicized (or placed in quotes) per MOS:T, so that needs to be remedied unless there is some applicable guideline or precedent that contradicts this. As as side note, I created the Ramganga National Park article as a redirect to this one. Some of prose reads a little awkwardly in terms of flow and order. The introduction's second sentence is a bit odd, since shouldn't the etymology be a priority over the bit about Project Tiger and such (even if the project was an integral part of the formation and development)? I'll try and tweak that myself. In Fauna, again the section goes right into speaking on tigers immediately. Shouldn't the complete overview of the fauna - such as the facts in the end of the section - come before detailed mentions of particular species (however spectacular)? In the second sentence of the second paragraph of History, it says that "even disturbing" the mammals is prohibited. Is that the literal language used? Because outlawing the harassment of animals in parks is not unusual to my knowledge. Next, in History it says "permits timber cutting"; I assume you mean the local harvesting of wood for home fuel that goes on in much of rural India. If this is so, then distinguishing this from the type of commercial clear-cut logging that comes in to Western minds when we think of national parks and timber cutting is a good idea. One last issue, and probably the biggest, is that quite a bit of the content of Challenges seems to be historical in nature. Perhaps some of it should be moved there, and the section renamed Current challenges. What do you think?
:2. Factually accurate?:  Referencing and citations are great, nice work!
:3. Broad in coverage?:  Covers all major aspects concisely.
:4. Neutral point of view?:  Fair representation of all significant views.
:5. Article stability?  No instability here.
:6. Images?:  Accounted for with proper licensing tags where present, a few are quite gorgeous btw. Good choices and placement.
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved.  After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again.  If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice.  Thank you for your work so far. — VanTucky Talk 02:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Good article nomination on hold

message: Many of the earlier mentioned issues have already been taken care of as is shown in these diffs. I've tried to address the remaining issues.
* When I thought of Fauna the first thing to enter my mind was admittedly the magnificent tiger. The overview regarding the species found in the park has been put in the lede now. 
* According to Rangarajan, M. (2006) "It was an offence to kill or capture 'any mammal, reptile or bird' or even to disturb them within the 180 square mile park." but then the same rules (for disturbing an animal) can be found elsewhere as well so I'll remove it (the "disturbing an animal" part).
* The cutting of trees done in Corbett is usually for fuel with some cases of felling for local furniture etc. Mostly simple domestic use instead of a regulated large scale commercial logging.
* I divided the Challenges sections into past and present.

thread_title:  Spam links from tour operators 

message: I've edited the History section to eliminate some confusion I had between the original "reserve" (1907) and the park (1936). I rearranged things to eliminate duplication and put them in chronological order. My intent was to do so without eliminating any information or changing the meaning of anything. If I have failed in this, please dodn't hesitate to make corrections.
Still confusing, I think, is the relation of the three main entities (tiger reserve, national park, and wildlife sanctuary). Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve is a redirect to this article, and I will be making the Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary the same shortly. As far as I have been able to tell, Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve = Jim Corbett National Park + Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary + some other forest buffer lands, but this is still not quite clear to me when reading the article.

message: Please add "...and F W Champion" to the section about the founding of the Hailey/Corbett National Park.  What now reads "In the early 1900s, several Britishers, including E. R. Stevans and E. A. Smythies, suggested the setting up of a national park on this soil. The British administration considered the possibility of creating a game reserve there in 1907.[9] It was only in the 1930s that the process of demarcation for such an area got underway, assisted by Jim Corbett, who knew the area well." should read "In the early 1900s, several Britishers, including E. R. Stevans and E. A. Smythies, suggested the setting up of a national park on this soil. The British administration considered the possibility of creating a game reserve there in 1907.[9] It was only in the 1930s that the process of demarcation for such an area got underway, assisted by Jim Corbett and F. W. Champion, both of whom knew the area well."
I think E. R. Stevans should read E. R. Stevens.
Please add to the Further Reading section:
