Talk:Yūshin Maru No. 2

Cleanup

This article needs cleanup badly. 69.19.214.183 (talk) 23:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Indeed. I've replaced Sealove us (talk · contribs)' contribution with a short mention of the incident. The MV Steve Irwin page has all the details with less slant and better citation. --Swift (talk) 02:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Aggressive/Paramilitary

I've tagged the addition by User:Orca1 9904 as being dubious. I almost deleted it outright, becomes it's extremely contentious and clearly needs a citation. If this were on a BLP, I'd have taken it out, but since no names are involved I figured I'd give you a chance to add a source or two. If you can't find a reliable source in the near future, I'm going to remove it. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:44, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

    I remember hearing the suspicions in the episode.  It is true keep the line on.--Intelati (talk) 02:46, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

One or two episodes of Whale Wars ago I think? Cite episode could work. My only concern is if it was Watson who said it. He is not RS at all and has admitted to not telling the truth. If I recall he said something like "since they are following us aggressively I believe they are paramilitary." I also worry about the weight. And realistically, who cares if they are paramilitary anyways since they aren't down there having a fun and playing jumprope together. It really doesn't look like anyone actually does care from a google news search. On the fence.Cptnono (talk) 03:32, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

I believe I made a mistake with this edit; I mis-identified the vessel. The vessel that intercepted and pursued the Steve Irwin was the MV Shōnan Maru 2, not the Yūshin Maru No. 2. I apologize for the oversight and will make the nessicary changes immediately. Orca1 9904 (talk) 07:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice. I didn't catch that. Make sure you source the other article or expect another dubious tag.Cptnono (talk) 07:14, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
