Talk:Four continents

Random page grade - June 15, 2006

1. Four continents
   • Well written? - FAILED - there should not be a list in the lead paragraph WP:LEAD.
   • Factually accurate? - FAILED - only one source.
   • Broad in its coverage? - FAILED - needs to go into more detail about each of the four. This article is little more than a time line.
   • NPOV - PASSED
   • Is it stable? - YES
   • Images - FAILED - "Four Continents" graphic is not explained well at all in the caption - why is Australia pictured?; The placement of the other graphics is bizarre and distracting.

Could do with some mention of Adriaen Collaert and his allegorical 4 continents engravings from late 16th cent. What the hell does Mr Hyde or his collection have to do with anything?? That's just Americocentricity at its most brazen and irrelevant to the actual (poor quality) article. (Peacay 13:30, 30 November 2007 (UTC))

Four corners

"The four corners of the world" redirects here, but this expression is from the Bible, and a bit older. 88.89.136.31 (talk) 04:49, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Hatnote

There are (as is clear from a search) more "Four Continents" sporting events than just figure skating, so the hatnote should probably point to a disambiguation page. (The continents being referred to here are the five Olympic continents, with Europe being excluded because it has its own continental events, and the "4C" events are for the rest of the world — Europe having more national federations in some sports than everywhere else put together.) 207.180.169.36 (talk) 04:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
