This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 4, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. -- Peripitus (Talk) 08:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
From the article...
On account of its relatively small size and sparse distribution the Pygmy Right Whale was not the target of a whalers.
perhaps instead
was not a target of whalers
Can somebody confirm the "Least Concern" status of the Pygmy Right?
Animal Diversity Web claims
"The pygmy right whale is so rare and unstudied, we don't even know how rare it is. There is no accurate count of pygmy right whales."

Should not be an "Non Available" or "Uknown" option then? Presenting such a rare animal as "Least Concerned" is quite risky, even to its conservation efforts, especially if we take account that wikipedia can have effect on public opinion.

...the temperature conversions are wrong. 5° C = 41° F. I bet the Celsius is the right temperature (21 degrees F = -6 degrees C), but since I don't know the source of the information, I'm going to leave it for someone who can confirm it. 128.163.7.129 ( talk) 02:20, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Cabrera et al (2005) says a speciman of pygmy right reportedly caught off Tierra del Fuego was actually a minke whale. Was there another pygmy right that stranded there (sources are vague)? Or was the above speciman the only example of this species there? It would change the range of the species several degrees of latitude if it had been the only speciman. Guess I'll have to look into more. OldBabyBlue ( talk) 03:50, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
The population distribution section states the species is "circumpolar" and lives in a band between 30 and 55 degrees South latitude. As the Antarctic Circle is at approx 66 degrees, the 30 to 55 range would be entirely north of the circle. Thus, I can't see how the Pygmy Right's range could be described as circumpolar. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the referenced source to check it out, so I didn't change the text of the article. I did tag the wikilink to circumpolar as needing disambiguation. That's actually what led me here in the first place and, as none of the links on that disambiguation page appear to fit here, and since it doesn't actually seem to fit the definition of circumpolar, I suspect we just need a rewording. -- LarryJeff ( talk) 20:04, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I guess Subantarctic is probably the best fit. I looked at that yesterday, and decided against it since that article defines subantarctic as 46 to 60 deg, so the pygmy right's range still extends farther north. Maybe instead of linking to another article, link to the Wiktionary entry for circumpolar? -- LarryJeff ( talk) 15:02, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Done -- LarryJeff ( talk) 15:56, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
There's a claim in the article now that this should be in Cetotheriidae; see: Fordyce, R. E.; Marx, F. G. (2012). "The pygmy right whale Caperea marginata: The last of the cetotheres". Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. 280 (1753): 20122645. doi: 10.1098/rspb.2012.2645.. Should we update the taxobox? Discuss.
