Talk:Whale watching
External links[edit]
The Project:External links policy sets the bar pretty high for listing individual businesses in an article such as this one, so instead of linking to operators it would be MUCH better to link to the article for the town out of which the operator operates - for example:
- In the United States, major whale watching areas include the following:
- Monterey Bay - Area in which grey whales are sighted in the Spring and Fall, and humpack and blue whales are seen at other times of the year

Destinations[edit]
When a new destination is added, that whale watching (tours etc.) should feature in the Do section of the linked destination. This should also be fixed for the existing destinations. Danapit (talk) 11:01, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Identifying species[edit]
Should we be capitalizing the names of animal species, or leaving them without the initial cap? I see both conventions being used in this article, for example, Gray Whale and gray whale. Orca or orca? I don't have a preference either way, but it would be nice to have it consistent throughout. Any thoughts? Mrkstvns (talk) 17:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Museums with remnants of whales?[edit]
Shall we include museums with displays of whale skeletons and similar? The Museum of Natural History in Stockholm has a prominent collection, though live cetaceans are nowhere to be found nearby. /Yvwv (talk) 14:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- Those are off-topic for a whale watching article. Looking at skeletons is not watching. Those would be for a topic on natural history museums. Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:00, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
