You have no right to insist on anything particularly a POV pushing agenda to focus excessively on the state of Nevada or Texas for that matter What you originally inserted into the article was several different edits that contained various content most of which was irrelevant or inaccurate Your new proposal is not acceptable because it puts undue weight on Nevada and the we must use all sources argument is absurd we could easily add five more books Dobie s guess is the outlier and we don t need a bunch of other in between guesses for here or there All sources are not created equal and the 100 000 in Nevada is IRRELEVANT to the legislation Please read WP UNDUE I also took a look at your single legitimate original point that the five million number in Evans seemed dodgy and I agreed with you on that point we are using the Dobie number simply because is so widely disseminated that it needs to be mentioned in a proper context Your edits to the lead your rambling edits about Texas and your extrapolation of a wholly made up number the 200 000 nonsense was poorly done and inaccurate At this point I already proposed material on the BLM numbers of 1971 for the Implementation section where I think it fits I would not object to some comment as to current numbers being added there and you can even say that the majority today are in Nevada if the stats verify that The language of the history section where Dobie is mentioned now is short consied and puts Dobie s comment in context I don t think it needs to be changed now We don t do a stated by this expert and that expert type of writing in wikipedia as much as you suggest Evans is as you pointed out the editor of a horse encyclopedia I suggest we break down the proposal into component parts Should we add info on the numbers the BLM found in the 1971 census I say yes if done concisely and properly sourced If so should we add the wording A census of animals in 1971 determined that there were approximately 17 300 horses and 8 045 burros found on lands subject to the Act ref to myths source already in article as I proposed above for the first paragraph of the implementation section I like it but am open to better ideas or improved if brief phrasing Should we add ANYTHING about estimates from Nevada circa 1900 I say no it s irrelevant because those numbers are guesses as much ad Dobie s and unless we want to go on and make a chart of something that contains Orgon Wyoming etc it s just trivia Should we add any other estimates besides Dobie s 2 million number Maybe if there is another similarly respected source with an overall estimate If Amaral estimates for the entire west or if Ryden has numbers I d be interested in seeing these but I don t see a need for a laundry list particularly one that is only for one state All sources No that s just silly Those are four solid discussions If you want to add other suggestions break them down to a single topic so we can assess each in context
