thread_title: Wildlife refers to animals, not plants

message: The Whales section is giving me problems. 
I don't understand how it is organized whatsoever, there are possible relevance issues, there is unsourced information, and some of the information appears to be blatantly wrong.
First on the list is the paragraph before the first bullet point: Following statements can be said for all larger baleen and toothed whales, but especially focusing on right whales and gray whales in here because of their behavioral patterns (very high reliance on shallow waters comparison to their size that even entering rivers mouths and estuaries regularly, their strong curiosities towards mankind) eased hunters to kill them and were wiped out much faster than the other species followed by humpbacks. Other rorquals' situations were very similar to them, but their local extinction (functionally) occurred later in 20th century by modern Japanese industries.
I don't understand what this is trying to say, it makes little sense to me.
Secondly, the information contained within the bullet point: Today, biology and natural histories of baleen or larger toothed whales in Chinese waters prior to exploitations are very unclear because at those times when academic studies or approaches or recordings of cetaceans in coastal China were started to develop, because whales were already in fewer numbers enough for descent, feasible for academic accounts, records in local fisheries or industries didn't even occur. This was likely to be caused as the local populations of migratory whales were intensively hunted to the point of near-functional extinctions on the main migratory collider (Japanese archipelago) by Japanese net whaling industries. The fates of right whales, were even cornered further by American Yankee whaling, Japanese mass illegal and research whaling,[34] and the most devastatingly, Soviet Union's mass illegal whaling in 1960s to 70s with helps by Japan.[35] Gray whales migrating on both of Japanese coasts were wiped out earlier than the Korean counterpart, then the other population migrating along Korean Peninsula later being targeted to the extinction by Japanese industries.[36] The most intensive hunts of all times were carried out by Japanese whaling industries that covering wide range of east Asian waters including almost entire EEZ of China, North Korea, South Korea in 20th Century. Whaling stations were established in various areas along Chinese and Korean coastlines such as at Daya Bay, causing today's serious perils of whale populations and virtual, functional extinctions of almost all species or local stocks of larger baleen whales in east and southeast Asian nations.
The first sentence is very long, it is hard to read, and it doesn't make much sense.
The two sentences at the end need sources immediately due to their accusatory nature.
I am unsure what is meant with the use of the term 'Yankee', also used once more later in this section Yankee and modern whaling records suggest...
If it is simply being used to refer to Americans, then should it not be changed to "American"?
Third (almost done, hang in there!): Toothed whales, excluding dolphins, include the Sperm, Dwarf sperm, Pygmy sperm, Baird's beaked, Longman's beaked[37], Cuvier's beaked, Blainville's beaked, Ginkgo-toothed beaked whales, and the Orca and Pilot Whales (False killer, Pygmy killer, Melon-headed, Short-finned pilot).[29] False Killers still remain along coasts of mainland China, and are known to enter rivers regularly in particular regions.
Would it not be better to condense the first sentence down to "Sperm whales and beaked whales"?
The orca whale and the pilot whale are both dolphins, which seems to be confusing considering the "excluding dolphins" remark at the beginning.
The others mentioned (false killer whales, pygmy killer whales, etc.), are all dolphins as well, and not types of Pilot whales (as implied by the use of parentheses). 
The last sentence about the false killer whales has no source.
I hesitate to make adjustments and remove content without knowing what is trying to be said, so any help from those working on this page would be appreciated. Thanks! Greedo8 20:13, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Whales 

message: Is there a use for the "Other animals native to China" section? All of the animals in that category should fit into the other previous categories, no? I've already done some reorganization of this on this page today. I'm going to categorize all of the animals in this section into the others. If anyone else comes along and feels this is wrong or inaccurate, please feel free to reverse my changes. :-)
