Source for Size of Amazon Basin
The size of the Amazon basin in this article is stated in this article as:
"This basin encompasses 7,000,000 km2 (2,700,000 sq mi)"
But no source is given, and I believe Wikipedia prefers sources for hard stats like this, right? These numbers match what the online Encyclopedia Britannica has:
"The vast Amazon basin (Amazonia), the largest lowland in Latin America, has an area of about 2.7 million square miles (7 million square km)..." https://www.britannica.com/place/Amazon-River
It has been a long time since I've edited a Wikipedia article, but if I can figure out how to add this as a source, I will - if anyone else wants to, please go ahead.
I looked the Enc Brit article up because the Wikipedia article for the Amazon Basin has DIFFERENT number for the size of the basin, BUT is linked from this article, the one on the Amazon rain forest. I'm going to make the same suggested on the Amazon Basin page in a moment. Ergonaut2001 (talk) 02:35, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Replying to my on talk? Sorry if that's not standard.
- Figured out how to add the current online Encyclopedia Britanica's article about the Amazon River, as a source, here, for the size of the Amazon basic; this WikiP article had the size given by the Enclopedia Britanica, but no source was given here. Ergonaut2001 (talk) 19:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Should probably change that first sentence to "was".
Given that the Amizon is basically gone toatly at this point... 216.122.155.62 (talk) 06:26, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Although it's shrinking, it still does exist. Rasnaboy (talk) 08:00, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
Languages in infobox
Originally, the infobox only had Spanish and Portuguese translations of "Amazon rainforest." Now, we've added Dutch, as that is spoken in the Surinamese Amazon. Should we add French, considering the presence of French Guiana? Or would this make it too cluttered? Zoozoor (talk) 04:22, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
