If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or click here to ask for help here on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

About Ulban Bay Right whale

Hi, thanks for your dedicated edits. As of the title, I have a issue with your edits about the article. In the reference I cited,

"North Pacific right whales (Eubalaena glacialis japonica), that had been regularly observed in the Shanter region before the be-ginning of whaling (Томилин 1962), during the last half-century have not been seen in this part of the sea or their observations were not confirmed (Brownell et al.,2001). "

Therefore I hardly see any reasons that you may delete my adding even though you may consider that Shantar is out of the species' normal range.

Fabius shipwreck

Thanks for your information on the Fabius shipwreck. I can only add in things to the shipwreck list from the sources I have, so that's what I did. Your amplifying information is helpful, so I recommend you go ahead and make changes to the shipwreck list accordingly, following the general page format and citing your source. As for the "coast of California" meaning the "coast of Baja California" to the old-time whalers, that's a matter of historical interest, but for a list of shipwrecks read by a general audience of modern-day readers in 2017, it would be confusing if we relied on the general Wikipedia readership to know that; besides, the source I am using is referring specifically to the State of California, not Baja California. Hence, "coast of California" in the shipwreck lists means the coast of California as it is understood by the general readership today, and the coast of Baja California would need to specified when applicable. Mdnavman (talk) 15:47, 28 August 2017 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]

The point is Soledad reef is on the west coast of Baja. I'll change it when I have time. For now I'll remove it so mirror sites don't repeat your mistake. ST1849 (talk) 16:58, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shantar island

see reply on my talk page. Benjamin Trovato (talk) 01:05, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your query about whaling stations - my knowledge of Russian American Company operations is really quite limited and does not extend to whaling stations. I have never studied RAC systematically, just when they crossed paths with someone or something I was working on. Sorry I can't help.Dankarl (talk) 02:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC) You might ask User:SaberToothedWhale who might know or refer you to somebody else.Dankarl (talk) 02:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's ok. Thanks for the reply and reference. ST1849 (talk) 17:43, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the message you left for Ezhiki and looked at the reference. There is one photo dated 1940 of a whaling station crew. So it looks like a Soviet-era station. Whether the apparently American steam engine is a remnant of an earlier American station or salvage from something else, or was simply sold to some Russian or Soviet entity is the next question. Americans were all over the Russian Pacific Coast 1880-1923, but I have not seen a whaling station mentioned. The Russian Empire was not much happier with outside investment than the Soviets were, so I would guess a pre-Soviet station would have had a Russian name and at least nominally majority Russian ownership. If there was US company involved it might have been the Pacific Steam Whaling Co. and the site might have shown up among their stations in their materials, even if the Russians thought of it as a Russian venture. They had some competitors who do not come specifically to mind right now. Good hunting.Dankarl (talk) 03:25, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure the only photos on that site that show Big Shantar Island are the ones with the old rusted steam engine. The other ones I think they just found on Google. For example, one shows a sperm whale at one of the stations on South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic. I'm familiar with the Pacific Steam Whaling Company. They were primarily involved in the Western Arctic. They didn't do very much whaling in the Sea of Okhotsk. They did send the Mary and Helen II to the sea in 1885, which visited the Shantar Islands. Her logbook only mentions finding some rusted old barrels on Feklistova Island. As I told another editor, I think the remains on the island are Soviet-era, but I don't think they were a whaling station. Very few bowheads existed by the 1870s, and almost none by the 1880s. There was some beluga hunting in the region in the early 20th century though. I'm not sure if that was associated with any settlements on the islands. ST1849 (talk) 18:30, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I almost forgot. I saw a video on Youtube (since deleted, unfortunately) that showed various rusted old pieces of machinery on Big Shantar Island. It included a shot of a spoked metal wheel like the ones on the old steam engine. On its rim was written "Clayton & Shuttleworth, Ltd, Lincolnshire, England". According to their wikipedia article, they didn't become a limited company until 1901. The article doesn't use inline citations though so I wasn't able to verify that it became a limited company that year. If that date is right, it would put it after the peak of bowhead whaling there (1852-1860) and well after bowheads had been depleted in that region (1860s and 1870s).
