Blue whale

There are many problems with this article:

1. It isn't factually accurate, contradicting itself and being tagged with {{contradict}}.
2. It is not well referenced, with several places tagged with {{fact}} and only one in-line citation in the "Notes" section.
3. Its "Physical description" section does not have a single image to illustrate it.
4. Many objections brought up by multiple people on its talk page have not been addressed.

• May 2005 FAC
• Dec 2005 Contradicting numbers introduced here and here
• April 2006 Contradicting numbers discussed
• No request for inline citations or illustrations

• I cited a population estimate and removed the contradiction tag. I also converted an ext.link in the body into a footnote. --maclean25 08:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Please see the guidelines that call for specifying the article's deficiencies on the talk page. I don't see any objections on the talk page that aren't resolved, but if you do, highlight them again. I'm removing this listing to give a chance for any issues to be handled on the article's talk page. - Taxman ^Talk 18:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
