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.

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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:52, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

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.

Nomination of Whale watching in Brazil for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Whale watching in Brazil is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whale watching in Brazil until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fauzan^{✆ talk} _{✉ email} 05:53, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

The following articles have also been nominated:

1. Whale watching in the USA
2. Whale watching in Hawaii
3. Whale watching in South Africa

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.

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!

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. Anyway, thank you very much!Gamera1123 (talk) 04:12, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Link canvassing

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:40, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

March 2015

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Salinas, Ecuador. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
