Guarded support—Aren't there a lot of free recordings of whale songs? And don't they vary from pod to pod, and from location to location (equivalent to a cultural imprint)? So we're likely to get more of these: can't the file-name specify where and when it was recorded (if this can be brief ... like "Bering Sea, 2009"), so the file-naming system can be more functional? Can the click be removed and the noise reduced? Tony (talk) 03:14, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything going on in the final 10 seconds of the file? It seems empty to me, but perhaps I'm missing a more subtle form of the calls. Juliancolton (talk) 18:41, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Glad we have some sort of file, but I have seen some presentations on whale calls and there is a lot more stuff out there and higher quality. (also with some analysis of the calls, from time-domain spectrums, or from pod-based research). Just think we are not really nailing EV without that.TCO (reviews needed) 04:50, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per TCO. Ben (Major Bloodnok) (talk) 21:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted. In the discretionary zone, concerns raised are of some significance. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 9:24am • 23:24, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
