The rationale behind the request is: "Important".

"Shamu"

There is a photo in the In captivity section of the article that is captioned with "Shamu in 2009, with a collapsed dorsal fin."

The Orca, Shamu, died in 1971, and while the Orca in the photo is participating in a "Shamu Show" it is most definitely not Shamu, now what Orca is in the photo? I'm not sure, but I can't edit the article to correct it. CoasterDave (talk) 08:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may find help at Shamu (SeaWorld show). - UtherSRG (talk) 12:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean, I'm just correcting the article in here because the "Dolphin" page is protected, I cant edit it CoasterDave (talk) 23:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. The article I pointed at may help you identify the orca displayed. When you have, please use {{edit requested}} to make your request. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:11, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wish to edit the Integumentary system section in the anatomy information. There are mistakes regarding the nature of Cetacea. Cetaceans are not a species, but an Infraorder of animals. Thedolphinqueen (talk) 01:27, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed "species" to "infraorder", and made a wikilink. Cheers, Mgnbar (talk) 02:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Please change species in "The epidermis of this species..." in the Integumentary system in the anatomy section to Infraorder, as Cetaceans are not once species. Thedolphinqueen (talk) 03:37, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 04:06, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
