Inconsistency in the stated length of the Irrawaddy River
The article gives two different lengths for the Irrawaddy River. The infobox states the length as 2,288 km, but the opening paragraph of the body text states the river "is about 1,350 miles (2,170 km) long." The difference between these figures is 118 km — approximately 5.2% — and neither is labelled as an alternative estimate or attributed to a different measurement of the river's source. Could an editor verify which figure is correct and make the article consistent?
