Talk:Cuvieronius

}}

Survived till AD 400?? Is this a joke? I am looking for any reference for this date, and If I cant find one, and no one else can, i will change it to a more acceptable earlier date like 11,000 BP (http://www.amnh.org/science/biodiversity/extinction/Resources/Bestiary/Proboscidea.html). 76.205.70.19 08:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Matt Aufderheide


 * I have a reference for 400 AD:
 * The Illustrated Encylcopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals, consultant editor: Dr Douglas Palmer, Marshall Editions 1999


 * The passage is "[Cuvieronius] was hunted to extinction, and probably died out as recently as AD 400". It does sounds shockingly recent to me, so, as no evidence is given, I won't make the change. On the other hand, I guess a creature basically resembling a modern elephant could hypothetically hold out in South America for that long. Rwestera (talk) 21:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I have this book myself with the such late date reference (I suppose it would be possible, odds being quite low though (most everything else was eliminated over and around 10,000 years ago). One questions I have, which is probably a stupid question, regarding Wikipedia, what happens when people have sourced content that directly contradicts other sourced content?  Is there like any referee or system to choose which is better or more appropriate … or does all content get shown?  Nonprof. Frinkus (talk) 19:21, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, we try to do more research to see which source is flawed, and which one is correct.--Mr Fink (talk) 19:32, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
