Maps[edit]
Hi, good work on the maps -- it would be nice if you can mention some sources in the description, so that others can verify the accuracy of these maps. Most of your maps seem to be quite close to published sources, but some of them depict borders that are not supported (or contradicted) by other sources. Utcursch (talk) 15:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Utcursch, Thanks for appraisal, Source for the maps are usally provided with the image caption but after your comment I would list it down on the source section. Talking about the contradiction it usally happens as diffferent authors pose different veiws regarding the geographical extent of the Empires or Kingdoms in this case we actually can't do nothing For instance, Map 3.1 (p.65) in India before Europe by Catherine B. Asher and Cynthia Talbot (2nd. ed., 2023: Cambridge University Press) shows Vijaynagar Empire under Sangama Dynasty controlling whole of south(exept Kerala) and northern part of Sri Lanka meanwhile another map of Vijaynagar under Sangama made by Joseph E. Schwartberg 1 shows whole of Srilanka with sway of Vijaynagar extending far beyond Goa. We editors in this case reach to a consensus, Same you can do if you want any change in the maps.
