Ramu is or was the name of a (possibly non-existent) reported feral child. The reports are from an area around Lucknow, India. The way the links are set up, clicking the word "Lucknow" does take you to the Wikipedia Article on Lucknow, India, but clicking the word "Ramu" takes you to a Wikipedia article about a river in Papua New Guinea. Please look at a map and make your own conclusion as to whether Papua New Guinea is in India. I would like to request that Wikipedia alter its interruptive intrusive banners that ask for donations so that some small plea is made for donations to be forwarded to readers like me (there are probably thousands of others) who spend more time writing about stuff that Wikipedia gets wrong than we do reading stuff that Wikipedia gets right.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 08:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Fund For Christopher Lawrence SimpsonReply

Nonsensical and unserious source

edit

The source [21] mentions a story about a "Danish Bear" boy In 1619, a 14 or 15-year-old Danish boy was found to have been. Presumably written, originally by italian philosopher Lucilio Vaninin. The story is most likely not true as it is hearsay from a "man of credit". Also bears have been extinct in Denmark for thousands of years and the story is nowhere to be found in any danish media.
