Common Names Section[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Relaxed head photo[edit]

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)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

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)[reply]

Conservation status?[edit]

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)[reply]
