Talk:Elephant goad

message: I don't know wiki formatting well enough to begin, nor do I know the subject matter well enough to contribute. But this article barely touches on the use of it as a tool for training, doesn't address its modern use... It's basically useless. It only talks about it in reference to historical India, despite it having much more widespread use and still being in use today. There's a lot that could stand to be done here 68.36.48.221 (talk) 07:50, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article needs a major rewrite 

message: I reverted the edit to this page by Anon15, because it is a direct copy and paste from this site which has been neither edited to fit the article nor altered in anyway from the original text, if some of the information needs to be reinserted, the ditor should use their own words.Ms408 00:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool. Thanks you very much. I went ahead and took the liberty of adding the page you referenced to the articles referfences list.Ms408 04:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone needs to re-write this article and site sources. It is not describing the proper use of the tool but how it is used as abuse on elephants.
:I have removed unsourced material which may be outdated. The ankus is currently used in the US differently than in India of the past. A distinction should be made.--Amadscientist 06:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is extremely incorrect 

message: Please clarify the fact that this tool is still used today. As the article was written it had a historical as well as POV in the direction of India and Hinduism. It would work that way if it was ONLY a historic item. It is still in use today.--Amadscientist 07:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article has more to do with a tool still used 

message: I believe this article should have a clear image of the tool that is not a stylised detail in a larger work. This ought to be the main image on the page so that people can see in a glance what is being discussed. I am not currently aware of any such images in the public domain, but am pretty sure that one could be fairly easily sourced. EthicsEdinburgh (talk) 10:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I strongly believe that i have  to change the origin name of ankus as ankusham,since the word roots are from 
 proto dravidian family,not from indo-aryan family(i.e.,sanskrit) . I will provide reliable sources for that! So kindly accept my proposal of name change and get avoid further edits by admin editors of this article.It's my request. Pokiridebba456 (talk) 01:12, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
