Vertical lines
I see a couple vertical lines in the graph. Did Chris claim to be two different weights on the same day? In that case, it would represent a range and you should do a trend line. AReasonableMan (talk) 11:53, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- The graph is over ten years so what looks like a vertical line is actuality Chris clamming his weight has changed over a period of days such in the case of early 2019 where he initially reported his weight as 213 and then three days later as 209.3. I think there was a few of the points where he gave a range and I just imputed a number in between for those. --Finnegan (talk) 12:13, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
