Wikipedia weights, newspaper weights are not reliable. Only peer reviewed, published weights are reliable. Other than nepal chitwan, panna, nagarhole tiger weights, others in your list are not reliable.

Verified by contacting vets/researchers/Forest Department people present on site so yes they are reliable. You want to believe it or not, that's up to you.

It’s always important to vet your sources. Hearing 2nd hand from a photographer or guide is very different from hearing first hand from the one involved with the actual procedure. Peer reviewed means little in this regard unless they actually participated in the capture and weighing. Almeida for instance is used in many peer reviewed studies but none were actually there during his hunts nor do they have any way to verify his captures outside of his own word. That being said, he went out of his way to provide an abundance of detail so he can be quoted for good reason. 

Khan also provided valid sources so most the weights mentions seem good to me. Reply
