Greenpeace backs Hershel

[edit]

Is Herschel typo'd in this source?
The cite is missing a url and I couldn't easily find one.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  16:53, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tom.Reding: I've been trying to find an open access copy to link to. I originally accessed the article though NewspaperArchive in wikipedia library. The union Bulletin archives are paywalled here but its a link that can be used, so I've added the URL.--Kevmin § 17:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted page move

[edit]

@Ravenpuff:, I reverted your changes to the lede and article title, as "Herschel" was a series of male sealions over a decade (80's-90's). This is reflected in the article prose and in the sources that note the original male likely disappeared by 85-86 and the name was conferred by the media and authorities each year after on the largest male that arrived at the locks.--Kevmin § 19:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
