 * Was the link https://meridian.allenpress.com/tjs/article/74/1/Article%205/487323/POST-PLEISTOCENE-HORSES-EQUUS-FROM-MEXICO not cited correctly? I put it in the footnotes. Minidoodhc (talk) 03:14, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't see that that is a reputable scientific journal. Our article Texas Journal of Science isn't encouraging.

In any case it only has one citation, to some Mormon site. We'd expect it to be cited in other academic journals first. We sometimes use primary sources, which this is, but exceptional claims need better sourcing, in this case discussion by other professionals in the field. As described here on a Mormon discussion board this would be a paradigm shift (which is what the authors call it). Doug Weller talk 07:42, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
