Inconsistent length figures: 6,300 km (infobox) vs 6,236 km (body text)
The article gives two different figures for the length of the Yangtze River. The infobox lists the length as 6,300 km, but the opening paragraph of the body text states the river "flows for 6,236 km." The difference of 64 km is approximately 1.0%, and neither figure is attributed to a different source or a different definition of the river's course. Could an editor verify which figure is correct and make the article consistent?
