Discrepancy
editThe lead says the world big year record is 6852 while later in the page in the World big years section that record is given as 6833. Should be a uniform number, which is correct? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:54, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Well, actually this citation cited in the lead section of the article says 6,852, not 6,833, so perhaps we should change it in the body as well. JurassicClassic767 (talk | contribs) 20:50, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Good point, I didn't click on that one (I limit my click-arounds) but it's the record holders own website so he is probably putting out the correct number. And check out List of birdwatchers for the huge life-lists that some people have! That page also includes the two overall-species numbers in the lead. Seems 10,700 would be a good number for the dinosaur lead. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:55, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Changed it based on that ref (I mean the wrong 6,833 number). It's actually amazing how many "dinosaur" species :P people actually discover by only watching them. And yeah, seems like 10,700 would be a better number, I'll go on and change it right away. JurassicClassic767 (talk | contribs) 21:13, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
