Fin whale[edit]

Review section[edit]

The article seems to be outdated. It has several unsourced statements, ref bombs, and image sandwiching. The entire article needs to be rewritten for it to be improved, and some of the sub-sections could be merged into others. There are also some questionable sources that have been used and expand templates. OnlyFixingProse (talk) 13:32, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gonna pass on this one. Already worked on blue whale and humpback whale. This one doesn't interest me much. Same with sei whale. LittleJerry (talk) 13:35, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All good, many thanks for the work on those articles. OnlyFixingProse (talk) 13:40, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move to FARC: While there has been some work on this article, I am concerned that these are one-off fixes, and not a long-term, sustained campaign to fix up the article. Unsourced statements, needed updates, and large sections need to be addressed. Z1720 (talk) 00:31, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Move to FARC, a few improvements but they have not been sustained and the most serious issues are unaddressed. Hog Farm _Talk 14:34, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
