[edit] Image queuing
I'm queuing this image until there is enough text in the article to support it. — Chameleon My page/My talk 06:23, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
The picture caption says "Tourists observing the tigers" and the article text says "they are led on leashes to a nearby quarry, where they can roam around freely. Tourists may observe this from some 10 meters away,". I think that's pretty clear. Not seeing what you're after, I'm restoring the picture. AxelBoldt 11:24, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- No, no. I wasn't referring to lack of info about that particular picture.
- There was discussion about articles with a bad image-to-text ratio. I was bold and implemented this nascent policy. — Chameleon My page/My talk 12:30, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- If you consider that image important to the article, how about queueing another one here instead? Right now the images to the right and the images at the bottom overlap with my browser window size, which isn't that small. Wikipedia lacks images, however sometimes less is more - one or two represenative images are sometimes better than 5 similar ones. andy 18:36, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Can anyone confirm that there has been an attack on a tourist? The FAQ page on the Tiger Temple website claims that there has never been an attack. I suspect that this sentence is missing the word 'never' or has come from an apocryphal source. --Stubish 05:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

- Last time I was there I asked a worker at my guesthouse if anyone has been attacked and she said that a French tourist had been bitten. Could be a rumour, could be true. However, the 'temple' is unlikley to report it (It's actually no longer classed as a temple as it no longer supports enough monks to qualify) as they are increasingly revenue-driven.

"will live out a life of non violence and, according to the Buddhist beliefs of the monks, be more likely to be reincarnated as a human in their next life"
- Where is this from that they'll be reborn as humans? From the national geographic documentary, the monks say they believe the animals are friends family and other monks reborn as the tigers and other animals in the temple. humans are considered pretty low on the scale of being reborn, buddhism says human life is full of suffering.

Hey, there's a lot of edits that aren't being explained, can future editors fill in the edit sumamries or mark them as minor? Chuckygobyebye 07:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
