The text says that Latifrons went extinct about 20 ka bp, but the image shows a vertebra with a (presumably human) Atlatl point in it, dated to 4-3.5 ka bp. 98.248.37.60 (talk) 03:28, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This bison never had over 3000kg and over 2.5m at the shoulder

Why some users are keep changing this? http://library.sandiegozoo.org/factsheets/_extinct/bison_extinct/bison_summary.html Porbably even the 2000kg weight is wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.48.210.235 (talk) 22:31, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe because you rarely bother providing a reliable citation and then attack other users in order to assert ownership of articles?--Mr Fink (talk) 03:09, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rarely? Every edit I made have reliable citation. I never attacked other users, I only defend myself, the only guy I "attacked" was the one who call me nobody (you), I wasn't the one who started this.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.48.210.235 (talk • contribs)

So, can you go ahead and provide some reliable citations, like from a scientific journal or text, that back up the changes in dimensions you've made already, or are you going to continue proving my own point?--Mr Fink (talk) 23:46, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, as always I provide reliable sources I don't know what you are talking about. If it's in this page, in case you don't know some users are changing the weight and height 0f 2000kg to over 3000kg and 2.5m to 2.7m or something withouyt any sources, I don't see you complaining about that and you went as far as supporting vandalism from those users (by changing the correct body size of this bison) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.48.210.235 (talk) 23:52, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The weight is listed as 1250kg, now this is a reliable source — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.48.210.235 (talk) 23:56, 4 January 2019 (UTC) https://books.google.pt/books?id=-QxQAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA36&dq=Bison+latifrons+body+size&hl=pt-PT&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZyOG9qdXfAhUIlhQKHXIwAQAQ6AEIQzAD#v=onepage&q=Bison%20latifrons%20body%20size&f=false Another, "as large as the modern bison"[reply]
