message: Ths article is deffinitely not up to Wikipedia standards. Almost nothing is cited. In addition, there are subjective claims in it such as "Corbett was a man of integrity and a person with great character." There are also highly dubious claims that sound like folk tale legend rather than actual fact, such as "An excellent hunter with keen senses, Corbett sometimes stalked to within twenty feet of his prey." That seems extordinarily unlikely unless said prey was blind, deaf, and had no sense of smell.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.199.8.148 (talk) 23:51, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  jim Corbett 

message: There's considerable difference in the year cited for Corbett killing the Champawat Tiger (tigress).  They vary from 1907 to 1911 to 1926.  I'm told that his memoir, 'Maneaters of Kumaon', only states that he killed the Champawat cat four years after a bounty was established.
This site seems as good as any, stating that he slew nearly a dozen maneaters between 1907 and 1938, the Champawat being the first.

Anybody have more definite information?

thread_title:  Champawat Tiger 

message: *Move as I believe this Corbett is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC; semi-confirmed by WP:GOOGLETEST in #Discussion section. jonkerz♠
*Oppose The boxer "Gentleman Jim" Corbett is of similar notability. Jim Corbett should remain as a disambiguation page. Tassedethe (talk) 18:30, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: The photo of Jim Corbett and the slain tiger in this article is a slightly different version of the photo used in Champawat_Tiger. In the Jim Corbett article, the tiger is captioned as the "Bachelor of Powalgarh", however in the Champawat Tiger article, it is captioned as the Champawat Tiger. So it appears that at least one of the photos is mislabeled.
This topic was already raised by another user at Talk:Champawat_Tiger#Picture_of_the_tiger; I am cross-posting here to solicit more attention to the matter. --Burpen (talk) 17:32, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which tiger is pictured in the "slain tiger" photo? 

message: The page on tigers of chowgarh is mainly about Jim Corbett and how he hunted them, not the tigers themselves. It's basically a summary of the section of his book that deals with those tigers so i think it would be appropriate to merge it into Jim Corbett#Hunting man-eating tigers and leopards.

replies: text: I would completely agree with the merge proposal. If there are any other tiger hunt summaries of a similar nature, they too should be merged here. Shyamal (talk) 11:52, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  There are, but I think it's best to discuss them one at a time. Each article is different and mass discussions tend to get stuck. WikiWisePowder (talk) 13:41, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
