There seems to be a discrepancy in the list of largest banks by Market capitalization with the second position in the list being edited to reflect State Bank of India instead of China Construction Bank in the previous version of the page. State Bank of India is the second largest bank by market capitalization in India but not in the world.

This entire page is sourced to one website, relbanks.com, which in turn offers no sourcing whatsoever, not even an ownership statement. Relbanks is anonymously registered in Australia. I do not believe this can be considered a reliable source. Several reliable, named alternatives are available, all of which appear to cite The Banker as the authoritative source. I wonder if relbanks has simply lifted their data. No way to know, since it's not sourced, though it used to cite The Banker in previous years. Jcfreed (talk) 14:16, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
misinformation?
Clearly there is a discrepancy amongst sources here. I was just reading the Wells Fargo wiki page[1] , and it cites a Euromoney article saying Wells Fargo just eclipsed ICBC with a market cap of $236 billion[2] . That puts Wells Fargo in the #1 slot (as of August 2013). DeepersD (talk) 19:19, 31 October 2013 (UTC)DeepersD
