A geographic anomaly edit
The sources are in conflict as the relative position and distance between Gauhati and Behali, India (not to be confused with Behali, Pakistan. I did my own research and came up with distance and direction which is consistent with one of the sources. However, the conflicting information has been left in the article, and one of the claims probably should be removed. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:44, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
He or it? edit
The elephant is referred to as 'he' at first and later as 'it'. Not being able to ascertain WP's style on animal pronouns, I have changed 'it' to 'he' everywhere except in the quotations. However, I am happy to be contradicted, as long as consistency is maintained. PhilUK (talk) 16:56, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know about the WP:MOS on the subject. FWIW, I agree with you. Sorry that I missed that, but sometimes one loses the trees for the forest, and vice versa. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:24, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Tusks or no tusks? edit
It states his appearance has no tusks but most images of him have tusks, could they have killed the wrong elephant? 49.186.68.20 (talk) 04:37, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Possibly best to leave it as ambiguous considering it isn't even guaranteed they killed the right elephant. Someguy1220 (talk) 00:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
