RE: Seal HuntingI reverted many of your edits made today on the seal hunting article. I noticed that your edits were really just a blanket attempt to agriculturalize the the killing of seals in Canada. I allowed it in the case of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) using the word, "quotas" "TAC" etc. But, going in and carpet editing all of the iterations of the word Kill to Harvest is agenda motivated. Sorry about the undo in those cases, but it's not a POV edit in that manifestation and therefore goes against wikipedia editing rules. --XB70Valyrie (talk) 16:11, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, No idea if I'm using this properly... today was the first time I've ever edited anything on Wikipedia. Feel free to go about your editing; I was mostly just experimenting. I didn't remove the word kill in "carpet" fashion. Left it where it was used in quotes and as it pertained to descriptions of how the animal comes to die. Used harvest(ed)when it is describing the commercial aspects of the hunt. Maybe harvest wasn't the right word either, but "Killing" seemed an unfair word - used for a purpose - as you wouldn't find it used to describe similar commercial activities with respect to fish or land animals.

Tuna would be described as caught, harvested, landed etc.. You wouldn't say "100 tonnes of tuna were killed in 2011".


 * First off; thanks for joining wikipedia. And, Welcome to what is an often rewarding but sometimes be a frustrating realm. The learning curve is steep. Always remember to sign your "talk page" entries, like this --XB70Valyrie (talk) 01:45, 25 May 2012 (UTC) by going up to the top of your text window to the tool-bar and click on the pen-scribbles icon. It will sign where you leave your cursor. I don't think I understood that until my 20th edit, or so.


 * RE: Harvest v Kill - You bring up a good point. That's why I wasn't die-hard about changing every word back to "kill". Nonetheless, in the interest of interchangeable synonyms like kill, land, harvest, murder, put-to-sleep keeping an article a balanced one, and also more readable too, I do believe a well grounded (by position perspective) variety of "This parrot is dead" should be used.
