Any additional comments:
I didn't simply move it myself, because right now Sistema Ox Bel Ha redirects to Ox Bel Ha Cave System – I wasn't sure whether doing so would have resulted in circular links. Alfie↑↓© 18:54, 15 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Surveyed length?

edit

Sistema_Ox_Bel_Ha#cite_note-CINDAQ-2 gives the surveyed length with 435.805 km (270.797 mi) as of January 2023. IMHO, the sole valid source is maintained by the Quintana Roo Speleological Survey, giving with Nov. 2022 only 346.798 km (215.490 mi). According to historical data of the QRSS the largest increase in surveyed length happened with 44.5 km (27.7 mi) between May 1998 and April 1999. Failed the CINDAQ to officially report results of its new survey or was it not considered trustworthy by the QRSS? A difference of 89 km (55 mi) would be massive and without precedent in the exploration history of Ox Bel Ha. On the other hand, at least two authors of the CINDAQ’s report (Fred Devos, Christophe Le Maillot) are highly reputed in the cave diving community. In short: Which number is correct / should we give in the article? Alfie↑↓© 22:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
