Change the data that the population was 6 to 12 million before conquest to 6 to 7 million before conquest per the most accepted figure given Teotzin190 (talk) 01:00, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
The actual sources give no mention of a “10 million” population, the one in the graph showed 7 million and the other said 6 million Teotzin190 (talk) 04:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for responding, there are differing estimates on the population where it goes from as low as 3 million in E1 to as high as 12 in E3 million but the E2 gave an average estimate of 7 million which works better as a neutral number which I think should replace the apparently “10 million” data that whoever made the article put in as it is also supported by another cite that says 6 million. Teotzin190 (talk) 05:34, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
In my opinion, it would seem clear enough from the phrasing (which I've copyedited) that the 12 million figure is the highest estimate in a range of them. We should generally be wary of "averaging" (or selecting an average) of what we consider to be the polar viewpoints on Wikipedia, lest we accidentally select a non-representative estimate.

Can you mention that the middle estimate is around 6-7 million, supported by graph E2 of the cite where 7 million is given and a source published by Jaime Jaramillo Uribe in 1989 where an estimate of 6 million is given? Teotzin190 (talk) 05:56, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
My only worry would be that 6–7 is not attested as the most common range per se, but I would very much like to add a sentence to that effect, as the total range is quite large and a narrower majority range should be mentioned if it's sourceable. Are there any surveys you could point me to that say this is the range containing a majority of estimates, or something like that? If not, I could just list the four estimates individually. Remsense诉05:59, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
There are very few sources on the matter but three support the 6-7 million range: one cited as Juan Friede (1966). Invasión del país de los chibchas. Santa Fe de Bogotá: Ediciones Tercer Mundo, pp. 19, another cited as Jaime Jaramillo Uribe (1989). Ensayos de historia social: La sociedad neogranadina. Santa Fe de Bogotá: Tercer Mundo, pp. 87. And the E2 chart of the source that’s currently being used. The first two are books. Teotzin190 (talk) 06:11, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Could you tell me the page number in Jaramillo Uribe 1989 that gives the 6 million figure? I can't find it with my limited Spanish abilities. Remsense诉06:33, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The animation of the historical map would disturb some people. It doesn't meet the accessibility guidelines of the manual style which recommends animations should be under user control (or only run once). I am not technically proficient enough to modify it so I ask another editor to do so. Humpster (talk) 04:37, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
