Comment on title[edit]

I understand the title is in line with what other news agencies are using, but it really fails as part of NPOV and keeping strictly to the news. "513-pound bluefin tuna fetches $177,000 at auction in Japan" or something along those lines would be more appropriate. --SVTCobra 02:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know what you mean. No problem, I'll change it. PSD27 (talk) 02:53, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just changed it from "Big Money for Big Fish" to it's now current title. PSD27 (talk) 03:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Made downstyle as per WN:SG --Thunderhead 04:34, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Sure. PSD27 (talk) 04:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Review of revision 932691 [Passed][edit]

Exchange rate doesn't change in 9 years?[edit]

If you use the exchange rate from 2001, rather than today's exchange rate, the bigger tuna from 2001 actually sold for less US Dollars, respective of it's higher Japanese Yen amount. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.63.165.171 (talk) 01:44, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

attribute claim[edit]

This needs to be attributed to something specific: "this promise—one that is widely supported by the international community." What is the community? The UN? Some maritime organization? --SVTCobra 02:41, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the fact that the article's sources—among other websites and resources that I have checked—do not appear to specify who the "international community" actually consists of in this context, it may be wise to just remove that passage. Thank you for pointing that out. PSD27 (talk) 03:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Page move[edit]

could you please change the title of an article from Giant tuna sold for $177,000 at Japanese fish market to Giant tuna sold for over 16 million yen at Japanese fish market please

i know this is not wikipedia.

And might I ask the reason to rename the article? It says so in the first paragraph. --Mikemoral♪♫ 05:27, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
