message: Elk supposedly have ivory teeth as well, and jewelry is made from it. I don't know enough about it to add to the article however. Someone may want to look into it. 74.211.30.145 (talk) 16:32, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  request 

message: This sounds like complete nonsense.  I've never seen an actual hanko owned by anyone that was made of anything other than wood or sometimes plastic.  I'm sure it's possible to have an ivory one custom-made for an exorbitant price, it's probably about as common as somebody in the West getting fitted with diamond-studded gold teeth.  This comment sounds like typical anti-Japanese rhetoric, probably originating (ironically) in one of those countries where where they go around lopping off tiger penises to make magic potions.--220.29.92.30 (talk) 14:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Japanese hanko industry? 

message: So if we want to make ivory piano keys, couldn't we just use the teeth of horses and cows and whatnot? you'd probably have to use three per key, but there's no shortage of cows.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 02:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

message: This text had been recently expanded with text copy-pasted bodily from http://www.bwsmigel.info/GEO.115.ESSAYS/Gemology.Ivory.html, with awkward links at the ends of the passages.  I left a note with the editor responsible, but the text should eventually be paraphrased and sourced, or else removed.  Best, Eliezg (talk) 18:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Recently the file :File:Ivory and Carriers (relates to David Livingstone) by The London Missionary Society.jpg (right) was uploaded and it appears to be relevant to this article and not currently used by it.

message: An anonymous editor has added "rhino" to the lead.  Are rhinoceros teeth ivory?  I assume its horn is not ivory, but this should be clarified.  Ecphora (talk) 03:11, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rhinoceros? 

message: the article states ^that to be part of the cause of the increase in south african elephant populations. what exactly is meant by this? how do comedians encourage elephants to breed?· Lygophile has spoken 18:24, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "positive encouragement from comedians" 

message: why are all the edit this section hyperlinks all the way down by the references? makes it difficult to make edits.· Lygophile has spoken 11:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This is in Firefox, yes?  I think, it's to do with the way the pictures are placed, all at the start of the article. In IE it would be ok I think. Johnbod (talk) 14:20, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  edit section hyperlinks. 

message: Large culling operations - not true, ivory trade increased because of larger South African elephant populations - not true. Yes mechanised ivory hanko production was a major problem especially from Japan in the lead up to the CITES Appendix 1 listing. Nine year moratorium decided in 1989 - not true.
I'll try to improve this article with strong references.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enviro2009 (talk • contribs) 11:43, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Much of the trade bit of this article is simply not true 

message: I've expanded the ivory trade article which makes the "availability" section of this rather poor and unsubstantial. Rather than re-edit this should much of it be deleted with a link to ivory trade?? (Enviro2009 (talk) 18:58, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a "main article" link but the length here seems about right. Touching up at similar length might be best. Nice expansion! Johnbod (talk) 19:43, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ivory trade article now substantial 

message: For real? I'm having trouble determining whether or not this is vandalism. This is going to need some clarification. I'm going to tag it up with a citation needed for now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unbal3 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Obama Ivory Ban 

message: This section includes some facts already mentioned in the "consumption before plastics" section that don't seem particularly relevant in the "controversy" section (for example, most of the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs). KaJunl (talk) 22:59, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  The "controversy and conservation issues" section 

message: There is most definitely more of a controversy than just regarding conservation. Elephants are amazing beings who are caring and highly intelligent. Whether they're endangered or not, to permit people to kill them for their tusks would be a disgusting outrage. Fire God Prime (talk) 21:48, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conservation Only? 

message: "tusks (traditionally elephant's) and teeth of animals"
tusks are teeth
 "one of the physical structures of teeth and tusks. The chemical structure of the teeth and tusks of mammals is the same"
Thats correct as tusks are teeth!
Its like saying    apes and gorillas! or coy carp! redundant and missleading--A12bc34be5 (talk) 07:21, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Its written under the picture: Ivory has always been a highly valuable material for carving. Ivory is not highly valuable for carving. Carving for itself has no favorites.
