Zhifang waiji[edit]

(

)

~~... that centering China made the Zhifang waiji far more popular than the map it was written to describe?~~

ALT1:... that content from the 17th century atlas Zhifang waiji was still being used in encyclopedias in the 20th century?

Thanks for the interesting article. It is new enough, long enough, and well written. Hooks are fine, but to me the most interesting fact from the article is that the Chinese atlas describes a continent called Magellanica. Maybe use that as a hook? -Zanhe (talk) 07:35, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Could do - how about ALT2 ... that the Chinese atlas Zhifang Waiji includes maps of the continent Magellanica? Yunshui ^雲 _水 06:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

ALT2 is good to go (I deleted the word fictitious; it's better for readers to find out for themselves). QPQ is done and no copyvio found. Other aspects reviewed above. -Zanhe (talk) 18:57, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
