That "Harbour Porpoises are not and never have been actively hunted by whalers" is incorrect, see for instance the German page on Harbour Porpoises. Stefan29 19:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I think the Gulf of Bothnia should be removed from the range. The Archipelago Sea is the northernmost area in the Baltic Sea where harbour porpoises are normally found. I don't know about the Gulf of Finland, but I would be surprised if the range extends all the way to the bottom of the Gulf. -- Chino ( talk) 11:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Mereswijn doesn't seem correct. The Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal gives various spelling of the word but Mereswijn isn't one of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Floris1978 ( talk) 09:28, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Watch a documentary called The Dolphin Murders, seems dolphins actively murder the Harbor Porpoise for unknown reasons. 101.103.172.182 ( talk) 12:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
The explanation that porpoises are being killed by dolphins due to competition for food does not stand up in my view. This would be an example of inter-species rivalry without precedent. Is there any evidence that they do actually prey on the same fish?
The alternative explanation [1] that dolphins exhibit infanticidal behaviour and that the porpoises are mistaken for juvenile dolphins seems more plausible. There is evidence that adult dolphins kill juveniles - see the reference article. John Muir ( talk) 10:58, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Both spellings (British and U.S., respectively) are used in this page: "harbour" 55 times (including the title), and "harbor" 11 times (including in the infobox). (In the porpoise page, "harbour" is used 33 times, and "harbor" 12 times.) Should there be one consistent spelling here (along with a note in (or near) the lead clarifying that the other spelling is also acceptable)? PatricKiwi ( talk) 22:46, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
The "taxonomy" section has no taxonomy in it. It is merely a discussion of vernacular names. I'm afraid to edit here, so someone else would have to fix it. DCDuring ( talk) 14:59, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
The picture of the mutilated dead one could be removed. Its disturbing and serves no purpose. 2001:569:FBA9:DF00:505A:D6D2:C03C:7785 ( talk) 08:54, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
