Using "over 200" instead of "almost 300" regarding the events in Bataan on 10 February 2009 edit
Since the numbers posted in news articles vary so widely, with one source claiming that there were around 500 dolphins in Bataan,[1] I've decided to go with the smallest number all of them can agree on, which is 200 dolphins. Saying "over 200 dolphins" seems the most neutral since it doesn't dispute claims of 300 or 500 dolphins, whereas saying "almost 300" would contradict some of the other sources. --Edward Sandstig (talk) 15:27, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
