If it's generally considered as a subspecies, as the intro says, shouldn't the scientific name have three words in it? Namely, Sousa chinensis __?__. --Menchi 23:43 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

And I Googled a bit & found nothing. --Menchi 23:43 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I assumed it was the nominate race, and I've confirmed that from two sources now. jimfbleak 05:31 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Knee-jerk editing?

I see that someone jumped in and edited this article based on the mass-media news reports today. I'll admit these reports were my own inspiration for looking up this article, however I was surprised to discover that this species exists throughout Asia and not just in one river in China as the news has been reporting. Since that was apparently the only place that the search was taking place, it would seem the demise of the dolphins may be greatly exaggerated (to paragraph Mr. Twain). Do others feel that the reports of are perhaps influenced by politics rather then science and that the article here should be adjusted to be a bit more objective?

Wrong dolphin, it's the Baiji that has been declared functionally extinct. Extinction revoked.

Yes, that was me. If you mean the yahoo! artical. I may have reaf it wrong but, the way I read it was that they were extinct every where. Penubag 04:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)penubag

That's the wrong dolphin. The dolphin that's now extinct is the Chinese River Dolphin. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 07:41, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
