Article discussion[edit]

I saw this title and thought OMG another one of these! I read the article and think it does have important information. The lead was far too short and needed addition information to also conform to MOS:INTRO. I added content so please check it out and see how it looks.

I would suggest some rewording because the repeated use of "study", "a study", and "the study" would give the impression the article title might be better as "The Study of Whale feces". Otr500 (talk) 19:45, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
