Article needs image of la niña del rayo

edit

I haven't been able to find a free image of la niña del rayo. I'm sure that images exist which could be considered fair use, but I don't yet understand the fair use policy well enough to be comfortable identifying and uploading copyrighted images. Perhaps someone who is more experienced dealing with images on Wikipedia can assist here? CJK09 (talk) 01:48, 24 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

For fair use to be appropriate here, you need to explain why a) it is not possible to make a free image of la niña del rayo, b) have a sufficiently small image and c) a rationale on how the understanding of the article would be impaired by its absence. b) and c) don't seem to be big issues but a) is a mite more questionable.

Environmental conditions conducive to preservation

edit

On the face of it, saying that certain environmental conditions are conducive to preservation makes perfect sense.

But if you think about it a little more deeply, preservation is not a thing. Decay is a thing (a process), and preservation is merely the absence -- or prevention -- of decay.

Seen from that perspective, it might be better to avoid the circumlocution, and instead of saying that extreme environmental conditions are conducive to preservation, just say directly that such conditions are known to inhibit decay. Toddcs (talk) 23:19, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

The largest empire during the early 1500s?

edit

The Inca Empire (Quechua: Tawantinsuyu, "The Four Regions"), was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America,[8] and possibly the largest empire in the world during the early 16th century.[9]

The latter reference is Moseley, Michael E. (2001), The Incas and their Ancestors, London: Thames and Hudson, p. 7. (https://archive.org/details/incastheirancest0000mose_y8g8/page/6/mode/2up) It indeed says that it was probably "the largest nation on Earth" during that time.

This seems patently wrong unless measured by some metric I don't know of. This very wiki lists the Ming as being more than three times the area of the Inca at both their respective peaks. Anyone have any clue how that conclusion was reached in an otherwise spotless source? PhilosophicalSomething (talk) 05:44, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Credit where credit is due

edit

The article on the Children of Llullaillaco names only Johan Reinhard as director of the expedition. Constanza Ceruti was co-director but has received no mention. This deserves remediation. 76.9.74.166 (talk) 22:34, 11 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
