message: *An extensive and authorative reference is UNEP, (1991) "Silent Valley National Park". It includes many other authorative references, especially: (Unnikrishnan, P.N. (1989). Silent Valley National Park Management Plan 1990.91-99.2000. Silent Valley National Park Division, Mannarghat. 83 pp.) The question is how much to include in the article. Much is in already. Needs selective picking for weak categories.
*Another major source is from M.S. Rana and Shashi Uniyal (2003) Selected Bibliography on Conservation of Rainforests in India, wii.gov.in
*an exellent source is Silent Valley : Whispers of Reason/edited by T.M. Manoharan, S.D. Biju, T.S. Nayar and P.S. Easa. Peechi, 1999, xxx, 419 p.,  Can anyone get a copy?
*What is this Reference:silentvalleynationalpark.com (2007) Silent Valley National Park Welcome to Silent Valley! Normally such a .com reference would be labeled and or deleted as commercial spam, but this is extremely exhaustive and accurate. It would appear to be official Govt of Kerala site but there is no indication of owner or author.

message: I haven't read through the article in detail, but here are some comments at first glance. 
#Check out the WP:STYLE. 
#There is no dearth of images in the article, which is good. However, the panorama pic at the beginning, can be moved somewhere down below in the article. Also, the size of the image needs to be reduced to fit in the page. Also, as there are enough images for the article, the one about the DNA was moved to the relevant paragraph.can be removed, particularly because it is not directly relevant to this article.
#""Only An Axe Away" is a well-researched film documentary on the struggle to preserve the Silent Valley. The film shares the anxiety of the people of Kerala about the future of the Silent Valley. Producer: Third Eye Communications, Director: P. Baburaj and C. Saratchandran, Malayalam/40min/2004/DV [13]." This part can probably be moved to the new article↓a new section called Documentaries or smth.. just my opinion.
#Also, the history section appears a tad too long. Maybe a sub-section seperate article about "Save Silent Valley" the debate which this can link to. can be created?  --Madhu 17:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Silent Valley Core and Buffer Zones.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: The source given for the Hindu legend is a mail group archive which is far from a reliable source. Anyone else can set up another mail group and put forward a Muslim or Christian legend. So please give reference from some published books written by experts in the subject. Or I will be tempted to remove the above said notation. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.0.9.165 (talk) 05:02, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
