Sei whale

Review section
The article suffers from a lot of issues. It has a lot of unsourced statements and some refutations/ref bomb. Most sections also need to be rewritten, like the description section and conservation status. The Mass deaths section should probably be combined with the "whaling" section. There are also some dead urls in the sourcing that can be improved, including other questionable sources that are used. OnlyFixingProse (talk) 02:57, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC Population estimates needs to be update, and probably merged into conservation. Post-protection whaling section suffers from too many block quotes which make the section hard to read. Citation needed templates need to be addressed. Z1720 (talk) 15:54, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC per all of the above, and skimpy lead. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  17:43, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC per above. Hog Farm Talk 13:40, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
