Assessment

This article still sounds like an ad for the founder (though I have toned it down a bit). It needs to be rewritten so that it's about the facility, though a section dedicated to the founder (if she is not notable enough for her own article) would not hurt. The awards section is decently cited, but the bulk of the article has no citations yet. I am leaving it as start-class for now. Don Lammers (talk) 13:17, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More additions were made that mostly seem to be aboout the founder. This article is not about Lek, it is about the elephant park. Awards TO THE PARK are relevant, but not awards to HER. I have gotten rid of some of the worst of the non-encyclopedic content. If the founder is not notable for her own article, then this information at least should be separated out onto a new section so it's clear that it is about the founder, not the park. In addition, nobody has added citations. Don Lammers (talk) 15:36, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed additional ad-like content and peacock words, and moved the information specifically about the founder to a separate section. I also removed some duplicated statements of awards, as well as information (specifically about supplying medical care to rural areas in her trips) that has nothing too do with the facility. This article is still not adequately cited. Don Lammers (talk) 21:19, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

POV

From the point of view of professionals, ENP is highly criticized for its elephant management. My own report can be found here, and here, is a document written by Carol Buckley. being the author of one of the documents, I feel reluctant to give the critical views of this place, but I hope someone else does. I will now mark the article POV, though, it really needs some truth, not only being an advertisement. Dan Koehl (talk) 12:41, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
