Cross-checking ecoregion descriptions

Geographic + administrative extent

Pointers to primary references in article citations

Specific data we draw from it: descriptive prose (corroboration only), extent, reference pointers.

Good to know

Corroboration only. Plotwright does not treat Wikipedia as a standalone authority — it is used to corroborate claims already grounded in a primary or curated source, and contested facts are traced to the article’s own cited references.

How to cite this source

Prefer the primary reference a Wikipedia article cites; cite the article itself only as corroboration of widely-agreed description.

License

Article text is CC BY-SA 4.0; Plotwright paraphrases rather than reproduces. Media files carry per-file licenses.

Caution

Community-edited and variable in quality — never the sole basis for a factual claim; always pair with a primary or curated source.
