Thanks for the interesting article. It is new enough, long enough, and well written. Hooks are fine, but to me the most interesting fact from the article is that the Chinese atlas describes a continent called Magellanica. Maybe use that as a hook? -Zanhe (talk) 07:35, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Could do - how about ALT2 ... that the Chinese atlas Zhifang waiji included maps of the fictitious continent Magellanica? Yunshui 雲水 06:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
