{{rfcquote|text=<br />
There is currently a dispute about how this article should be structured. Here are the two competing options:<br />
<br />
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Billion&oldid=1070657022 Version 1], using bullet points to treat the definition on the two number scales equally and clearly.<br />
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Billion&oldid=1070653570 Version 2], prioritising the modern-day definition in English speaking countries.<br />
<br />
Other relevant considerations:<br />
* [[#No, there are not two current definitions to the word in English]] – the discussion above that led to this RFC<br />
* The [[Trillion]] article<br />
* [[Names of large numbers]] article<br />

I would like to state the number of tigers in Tibet in the third paragraph of the article. [[User:BhagyaMani|BhagyaMani]] disagrees.<br />

Specifically, I propose<br/><br />
"India's tiger population was estimated at 2,603–3,346 individuals by 2018. Around 300–500 individuals are estimated in Bangladesh, 220–274 in Nepal, 103 in Bhutan as of 2005, and 10-12 in Tibet.
