	:Given that it looks correct, no problem...

Perhaps it could do with tidying up (or expanding) the markup-comment somebody else left about the original 'one' case of Hairy, now that there are two for people to find (if they squint), but that might be someone else's job to do. ;) [[Special:Contributions/81.179.199.253\|81.179.199.253]] 01:34, 19 February 2026 (UTC)		:Given that it looks correct, no problem...

	Greetings! Regarding the [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=3158:_Shielding_Chart&diff=405243&oldid=405238 cetacean needed] wording, it is actually a dank meme from the Wikipedia editors' community. Not only has some joker stuck the phrase into {{w\|List of cetaceans}}, but the editor Tamzin is quite prolific and well-known for {{w\|Talk:Salaam (disambiguation)\|using this pun}} in their signature. So it is really an appropriately-worded in-joke for this comic explanation. Please keep it; it is not a typo or a mistake.
