Northern Right Whale Dolphin → Northern right whale dolphin — Fix capitalization —Calliopejen1 03:14, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't appear to be uncontroversial. Wikipedia:WikiProject Cetaceans and many other WikiProjects dealing with animals suggest Capitalizing All Words, even though that doesn't seem to make sense in terms of most other naming conventions. Dekimasu よ! 06:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

small, slender and finless species ...

Note: "small, slender and finless species"
This is a peculiar statement in an article that presents pictures of the creatures with fins.
I don't think that there is any such thing as dolphin, whale, or porpoise w/o and fins. They all have horizontal fins that they use to steer with. Also, all of these aquatic mammals have "tail fins", otherwise called "flukes".24.156.77.198 (talk) 22:33, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
