More pronghorns than people in WY?

Wyoming has a population of ~560,000. The number for the entire pronghorn population given is 500,000. So is the claim that there are more pronghorns than humans in Wyoming false, or is the pronghorn population number low?--129.72.152.165 (talk) 20:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cite for speed, please

"The top recorded speed was 61 mph (98 km/h)." - Let's have a cite, please.

I've removed this claim cited from infoplease.com, as it isn't supported by several other far more authoritative sources - MPF (talk) 12:33, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

vandalism

undid minor change that knocked out reference header. apparent vandalismRvannatta 01:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The october 29 edit seems to be by a controversial editor with out citation. While not vandalism on its face, it seems to be a doubtful change with no discussion which is disfavored.Rvannatta 22:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

your edits if the prong horn page suggesting that the prong horn and an antelope are the same does not seem supported any any information. what is your authority....???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rvannatta (talk • contribs) 02:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My authority is none other than Wikipedia itself: the Antelopes are a number of species in the family Bovidae, so i) there is no such thing as "the antelope", and ii) the pronghorn does not belong to Bovidae, but to its own (related) family, Antilocapridae (as is clearly explained on the Antelope page). And, I don't see how this edit could possibly be vandalism. Tjunier 07:17, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the one that reverted this edit. I have noted that the IP address making the edit has been the subject of a number of

allegations of vandalism. It is my understanding however that wikipedia cannot be cited as authority for something as that is bootstrapping.Rvannatta 02:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
