Talk:Indian cobra

Common Names Section

The Common Names section is becoming a dumping ground for a list of randomly-cited translations for the name of the cobra in a wide variety of languages. Since this is an encyclopedia article in the English Wikipedia site, I think that, while a couple of translations for major languages in the area might not be awry, the ever-growing list is more suited for Wiktionary than it is for here. I'll leave a couple of days for discussion of this, and if no one convinces me that the list belongs, I'll start to prune out a large number of the names, especially the uncited ones. —Dajagr (talk) 03:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

The problem seemed to be more with the use of a bulleted list which was taking too much space. I have trimmed some names since most are actually derived from the same name with a generic "snake" suffix. Shyamal (talk) 08:33, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Relaxed head photo

There are plenty of photos of the cobra with hood spread but, though impressive, is this stance as useful for an encyclopaedic artice as a photo of the snake in a normal stance? Does anyone has a photo of a Naja Naja in a relaxed state that they can upload for use? kimdino (talk) 13:46, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Etymology

The Etymology heading was removed (26 Aug 2018). Would you like to add that “cobra” comes from Latin colubra (snake)? NB: Isn’t cited on Cobra Page. MBG02 (talk) 11:42, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Conservation status?

If anyone has access to the info, it would be nice to add the conservative status to the infobox, as seen in the Monocled cobra article. Since this is a protected species, within some of its range, it seems that it might have some conservation status info. Thanks...Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 22:28, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
