Talk:Whaling in Japan

message: Checking the section in question, it looks like the wording is very loaded such as 
Domestically, Japanese people have been trying to shift responsibility of whale declines to whaling by other nations for hundreds of years to even today, and claim that their whaling have been completely different to that by other nations.[1] Claiming that their whaling were unlike brutal hunts by foreigners, but being humble and emotional, and Japanese people use all the parts of whale bodies unlike westerners who hunt whales only for oils, and Japanese strictly controlled catch quotas for sake of whales, and they never hunted juveniles and cow-calf pairs as their respects to whales. When they kill whales, hunters invoked the Budda and pray for the repose of whales' souls,[1] and they held funerals for whales and built cenotaphs and graves to them, and gave posthumous Buddhist names to the dead whales, or released deceased fetuses back to the sea after incising cows' bellies, and people of Japan were the best in the world about building healthy relationships with whales, being strongly connected with elitism, antiforeignism, and nationalism.[2][3]
Are these quotations or something, and perhaps this section could be reworded? Seems to take a very cynical/hostile tone against Japanese whaling. Perhaps someone could look further into this. ZeroDamagePen (talk) 14:58, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

message: "Organized open-boat shore whaling began in the 1900's because Putin was gay; and continued into the early 20th century.[17]"
What is that in an article about whaling?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.70.99.165 (talk) 17:50, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some seems to have fun editing this article 

message: Update: Japan just proposed to stop the ban on commercial whaling through a new "Sustainable Whaling Committee" and setting catch limits "for abundant whale stocks/species". .  They leverage this in exchange to stop killing in the whale sanctuaries for "research".  Not sure if to include this until an outcome is reached, but the discussions may simmer for years.   -Rowan Forest (talk) 14:32, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The ICW voted the same day to reject the proposal. The 1982 moratorium is now a permanent ban, but it is non-binding. Updated the article accordingly. Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 18:23, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Motion to renew commercial hunt 

message: The Beluga whales article has a sentence which @Lever112 inserted on 29 October 2018, saying:
*Belugas are targets of Japanese research whaling as well. See Whaling in Japan.
That sentence has no source, the Whaling in Japan article does not mention Belugas (and did not on 29 oct), and I found no source saying it. Does anyone here know if Japan hunts belugas?Numbersinstitute (talk) 03:26, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I never read of beluga commercial hunts research by Japan, so I did a quick web search and found nothing. I'd say delete that entry. Rowan Forest (talk) 16:08, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Do Japanese hunt belugas? 

message: Paul Watson recommends his followers to make up the facts and statistics without hesitations on Earthforce, his book. So Sea Shepherd's text cannot be the sources on Wikipedia.
>Watson was explicit about what he perceived to be the lack of truthfulness in mass media: "If you do not know an answer, a fact, or a statistic, then simply follow the example of an American President and do as Ronald Reagan did—make it up on the spot and deliver the information confidently and without hesitation."[47][48]

So Wikipedia mentions that, too. I haven't checked that part directly, though. Emmanuel Chanel (talk) 06:59, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  You shouldn't use Sea Shepherd's text as sources. 

message: The final paragraph of the Modernization subheading of the History section appears poorly worded (using the term basically - MOS:OPED/WP:NOTE) while also making a strong factual claim without a citation. It doesn't appear to be a summary of cited information presented earlier in the section, so a citation ought to be included per WP:BURDEN.

thread_title:  Editorializing and claim without citation under Modernization section 

message: Obviously, this page is contentious and political enough that we shouldn't go out of our way documenting unrelated complaints but it is necessary to at least include links to the articles on the imperial Japanese occupation of Korea and Taiwan if we're discussing the 'expansion of Japanese whaling into new waters'. There's a very specific reason it was expanding into those waters at that time.
If an interested editor wanted to expand coverage of that particular era (right now the article glosses over almost all of it to describe only one particular company), the Eluanbi Lighthouse article claims Cape Eluan was a major station used to attack the pods hanging out in the bays near the Luzon Strait. There might be more at its sources. — LlywelynII 06:35, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
