Citations on North Pacific right whale article

Hi. Nice work on the right whale page. Are you a researcher of some sort? Several times you've put "personal contact" as a citation on the page, which I believe would be original research and isn't allowed on wikipedia. I don't want the information removed, but is there any other way you could provide a peer-reviewed paper, or perhaps at least a news article of some sort to back up the sightings?

[[Omura's whale]] images

Hi. The Omura's whale page is currently devoid of any images. I know only of copyrighted images of the type specimen, the first paratype, and a few from off northwestern Australia (assuming they are indeed Omura's, which they appear to be) and Komodo National Park. You wouldn't happen to know of any free images online? SHFW70 (talk) 22:01, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Minor edits

Image:Information.svg Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --John (talk) 10:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Atlantic spotted dolphin

Please don't edit-war. If you are unhappy with my edit, discuss, don't just revert.

I undid your edit because it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the fact that the Bahamas are "famous" for this species. I'll give you some time now to add your reference. If the addition appears to be your just your personal opinion. I will remove it again.

Pygmy right whale off Madagascar

Hi Gamera1123. What is your basis for placing the pygmy right whale off Madagascar? Our distribution information is generally taken from the IUCN, which doesn't show this species in that area. Thanks, WolfmanSF (talk) 05:47, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Wolfman, thank you for comment. Sorry for not putting any references. I am a member of Namibian Dolphin Project, and there are increasing records of sightings and stranding records along coastal Namibia. I will add references, and thank you for pointing.

Kola Peninsula

Hi there! Thank you for adding cetacean/dolphin information to the Kola Peninsula article! I had, however, clean it up a little bit. One of the sources was to a commercial site (which isn't a problem per se, but the site was additionally failing our reliable source criteria) and the other did not support the statements being made. Would you consider adding better sources where I inserted the "citation needed" tags? The article is considered to be a good article, but it won't remain such for long if parts of it remain unsourced :) I'll be happy to help with formatting and such; it's finding proper sources on this subject that's a challenge for me. Thanks again for your interest!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); May 5, 2014; 16:48 (UTC)

Dugong and law

Hi Gamera1123!

Thanks for editing Dugong! Your ref http://www.47news.jp/CN/201312/CN2013122101001763.html does not seem to talk about that law. Do you have any other URL talking about the relationship between this law and the non-release of the data by the government? Cheers! Nicolas1981 (talk) 02:48, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Nicolas1981!

Thank you for mentioning. Indeed, it was my mistake to refer the law at this stage. I referred the law because several of domestic NPOs and experts working on Dugong conservations published official statements claiming the removal of the law with referring to Dugongs. However, there had not been in NEWS so far hence I hesitated to add references. I can refer the statements published by NPOs including Dugong conservation groups. Thank you for questioning anyway! Gamera1123 (talk) 03:15, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Citations

Thank you for your recent additions to :Whale watching where you have greatly expanded coverage of disputes.

One of Wikipedia's fundamental Five Pillars is verifiability through reliable sources. Unfortunately, the citations you have added are difficult to verify. Please see the citation guideline. In particular, these citations are difficult to understand:

  • Mainichi Shimbun, 2007, <クジラ>ウオッチングの観光客の目前で捕獲 知床沖
  • Shiretoko Nature Cruise
  • http://www.kk-elm.jp/ KK Elm

The first does not link to a source or uniquely name one well enough to search for it. Indeed, it seems to repeat what is written in the Wikipedia article.

It is hard to follow the second citation to a source, or even guess where to look.

The third is not in English, and so an English-speaking reviewer cannot verify it, or use it to expand the article.

Please revise these citations so any English speaking editor can verify that they support the article content. Otherwise, they will have to be treated as unsourced statements and be subject to removal. Thank you. —EncMstr (talk) 16:59, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for such helpful notice! I'm aware of the problem with my sources I linked, and am still looking for feasible sources. As soon as I successfully find them, I will re-write the parts. Again, thank you. Gamera1123 (talk) 01:28, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

:There is no requirement that sources be in English, although for obvious reasons there is a preference for English language sources where they are of equal quality. See WP:NONENG. Apart from this, the advice from EncMstr is applicable.-gadfium 03:08, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

::Thank you gadrium for the helpful message and your kindness! It's very helpful and I'm very glad to know these! If possible, I would like to search for sources in English, but in case I won't find them, I would have no choice but to use non-English sources.
