- The original source is a scholarly article specifically about the territorial extents of historical polities with notes on methodology and so on, whereas the one you added is a book on a topic only tangentially related to the one at hand which also briefly mentions a few areas. See WP:RSCONTEXT. TompaDompa (talk) 10:18, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
That article affirms that the Qing Dynasty was bigger than the Spanish Empire when official sources of the government affirm that there was no empire bigger than the Spanish Empire in the XVIII century. In fact, only Hispanoamerica is bigger than China + Mongolia, that is something objective and can be easily verified.
Another thing that can be easily verified is that the Spanish Empire is bigger than the Abbasid Caliphate for more than 2.6 million km2, seeing the photo of both is easy to see.
In addition, the source used speaks of 1810, when the maximum extension occurred in the eighteenth century.

Spanish Empire[edit]
Hi Mr tompa,please change the Spanish Empire to reliable source because Spanish Empire most be put on the list with correct and reliable source ,and I think Spanish source not good for Spanish Empire, all of Empires must be equal,I think Taagepera source is justice Sasan Hero (talk) 00:20, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
- I did, and the other user changed it back. I agree with you on the need for a consistent approach, but I'm trying to avoid an WP:Edit war by discussing it on the talk page. Feel free to weigh in there. TompaDompa (talk) 00:24, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

- Like I said, I changed it, and then they changed it back. I don't want an WP:Edit war so I won't keep reverting, and I'm not an admin so I can't lock the page (and this really doesn't warrant locking it anyway). TompaDompa (talk) 00:34, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
