Talk:Billion

There is currently a dispute about how this article should be structured. Here are the two competing options:

1. Version 1, using bullet points to treat the definition on the two number scales equally and clearly.
2. 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

Talk:Bengal tiger

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. BhagyaMani disagrees.
Specifically, I propose
"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. BrightOrion (talk) 10:04, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
