There is currently a dispute about how this article should be structured. Here are the two competing options:
# [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.
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Billion&oldid=1070653570 Version 2], prioritising the modern-day definition in English speaking countries.
Other relevant considerations:
* [[#No, there are not two current definitions to the word in English]] – the discussion above that led to this RFC
* The [[Trillion]] article
* [[Names of large numbers]] article

'''Question:''' Is there sufficient material in the body of the article for the following sentence (with refs as indicated) to be added to the lede:
"According to language [[pundit]] [[William Safire]], the term derives from the older phrase "right-wing nut",<nowiki><ref name=safire2008 /></nowiki> and although it is occasionally directed at extremists on the political [[left (political attitude)|left]], it is primarily aimed at those on the [[far right politics|far-right]].<nowiki><ref name=safire2006 /><ref name=safire2008 /><ref name="nytimeswingnut" /><ref name=lexico /></nowiki>"

Please see the above "Stating the number of countries in which the tiger is found"
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/>
"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.
