How can the intro state that it is 1954 miles and then the table in section 2 give a total of 1933.4 miles. We need consistency when somebody adds data involving numbers they need to check against the other sections of the article that already contain numbers to make sure there鈥檚 only one set given. But when people haphazardly add data without doing proper checking then we wind up with bad discrepancies that confuse the reader and add distrust in the article as we don鈥檛 know which one is accurate.
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) 鉂澂鉂 Raydann (Talk) 10:48, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Mexico鈥揢nited States barrier 鈫 Mexico鈥揢nited States border wall 鈥 The term "border wall" has been used much more often than the term "barrier" when referring to this structure. Usage of "border wall" overtook "barrier" sometime in ~15 years ago. Move per WP:COMMONNAME. 鈥 Treetoes023 ( talk) 03:29, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
So this seems to be ramping up and doesn鈥檛 seem to be close to ending and maybe we should add a section about it? Biglad14 ( talk) 15:33, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
