How can the intro state that it is 1954 miles and then the table in section 2 give a total of 1933.4 miles. We need consistency when somebody adds data involving numbers they need to check against the other sections of the article that already contain numbers to make sure there’s only one set given. But when people haphazardly add data without doing proper checking then we wind up with bad discrepancies that confuse the reader and add distrust in the article as we don’t know which one is accurate.— Preceding unsigned comment added by KarlderGrosse843 (talk • contribs) 21:01, 18 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
The numbers come from different sources. In fact, the cited source for the 1954 mile figure goes on a length to address the fact that it's not an easily answered question, since all non-straight line borders can be measured by different degrees of specificity. Did you happen to read that source? It's interesting. Either way, it's not our job to make them consistent, that would be Original Research. If you want to cite an article that discusses this discrepancy, or one about how the length of the border in two different articles is off by 1% (1954-1933.4) 1.05%, just make sure it's relevant and cited, not our original research.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jason Potter (talk • contribs) 06:53, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
