@Chiswckchap As Lula has been in power for a while now so there is less deforestation would it be OR to ignore land use change and simply tick the 4 Climate Trace boxes which mention “cattle”? Also we could link to their methodology, which they explain in detail. Then the lead could just say “more than 4%” which is not likely to change for years.
I mean although the FAO is presumably a more reliable source than Climate Trace a lot has changed since 2015, and I have not yet been able to find the FAO methodology. Chidgk1 (talk) 07:17, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- It sounds extremely risky to me, so please, let's not do it. Further, this article is currently going through a GAN review, so it's definitely not a great moment. A third thing: this is not the right article for intricate detail on environmental matters, as it's the top-level article on all things Cattle; we already have Environmental impact of cattle production for exactly that subject.

- Ah thanks I did not notice that article - I will move some detail there and ask on that talk page Chidgk1 (talk) 13:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- OK I have put a lot of detail in the main article and the answer seems to be between 4% and 12%. If anyone from the FAO is reading this where are your methodology and error bars please? Chidgk1 (talk) 12:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think you'll get an answer that way, and I do think your own methodology of calculation and inference is extremely close to the WP:OR boundary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to All the Mammals of the world there are 4 species of cattle: Bos frontalis, Bos domesticus, Bos taurus and Bos indicus. Pls can you change it?
- Yes, we can add a note about the species. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:31, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One of the images used in this article (and elsewhere) is labelled "Cobbes Farm Museum, England". There is no such place. I suspect the photo was actually taken at Cogges Manor Farm near Oxford, but that's just a guess. Ef80 (talk) 17:45, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Certainly the place. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:48, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
