What an interesting read. Article looks good and matches hook, and QPQ is done. Earwig's is clean. Looks good to go. —Panamitsu (talk) 02:45, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"This docile, loving animal is the world's largest producer of milk, cheese and other dairy products. A most economical, truly ecological animal."

I was incredibly skeptical of this claim upon reading it given how big dairy cattle production is. After searching it appears to be not even close to being true. https://www.fao.org/dairy-production-products/production/dairy-animals/en/ I recognise that is is a quote/relates to what the event itself claimed but should there not be a note or something in brackets to inform the reader that this claim is false?

@Traumnovelle: This seems reasonable. I've added a note. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 12:29, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
