Can I get a second opinion?
You see... the Ciudad Valles page says " Archaeologists believe that Tamtoc is the northernmost pre-Columbian city with pyramids in Mexico". But the Sierra de Tamaulipas page says "The archaeological ruin of El Sabinito, about l3 miles (20 km) southwest of the city of Soto la Marina, is at the northern edge of the Sierra.[6] El Sabinito may have consisted of 600 houses with a population of 1,500 at its peak. It was abandoned about 1100 A.D."... and the Huastec page says "The Huastecs emphasised the worship of Quetzalcoatl, and circular temples to the deity are found throughout the region". El Sabinito is one of these temples. So perhaps since it is a circular temple it is not classified as a "pyramid"? I suppose that makes sense.

 * I have dug up an archived copy of the source for the claim in the article on Ciudad Valles. It doesn't look particularly reliable to me, but it cites some sources of its own that you may want to look up. It's in Spanish, though, and so seem to be its sources (links to those also are broken). I have also dug up an archived copy of the source for the article on the Sierra de Tamaulipas; it doesn't look any more reliable to me, but it does mention pyramids. Make of that what you will. The Mesoamerican pyramids article may be of some help. Huon (talk) 20:40, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I actually do know Spanish.

Help me!
Hi, I'm Kale. And I was wondering about something. You see, the Tiger Rattlesnake page says it's the 3rd most toxic snake in the Western Hemisphere. And it suggests that the Mojave rattlesnake is the most toxic of all rattlesnakes, and the 2nd most toxic in the Western Hemisphere. So, assuming the most toxic snake in the Western Hemisphere isn't a rattlesnake... what is it? Yellow-belly sea snake? Common Lancehead? Eastern Coral snake? Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere online. Haha. Thanks for your help.

 * This is really a question for the Reference Desk (the template is really intended for help with using Wikipedia), but FWIW, Bothrops insularis would seem to occupy the number one spot according to this source, Crotalus tigris gets the accolade here, it's Lachesis mutus according to this book and this book, but this book favours Bothrops asper. Take your pick, I guess... Yunshui 雲 水  13:38, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Dear Yunshui, Thank You!
