Not sure what to "improve"[edit]

It's not at all clear what "multiple issues" exist regarding this Wikipedia article. The article pretty much reiterates the story (quite accurately) from Jim Corbett's book "Man Eaters of Kumaon," including the salient details of the chase and the kill, and is in no way sensationalized or exagerrated. One might complain that the broader questions such as impact to Indian culture and society brought first by the tiger's existence and then by its demise are omitted, but in fact no such information exists--Corbett's account is the sole source of information about this tiger, told in Corbett's inimitable dry and matter-of-fact fashion. To have included any further information at all would be to indulge speculation or to reveal that the writer had an axe to grind. Corbett has a deserved reputation for being incredibly brave and for helping to rid the Himalayan foothills villages of northern India of man-eating tigers and leopards when they had rather suddenly become a significant menace from 1900 through the 1930s. Sadly, thanks largely to habitat loss brought on by incredible human population growth, most of the tigers are gone from all of India, a fact that Corbett himself saw coming and bemoaned.
