No, that's not what that article is about.
It's not about the misconception that the Earth is flat. It's about the myth that medieval Europeans believed the Earth is flat. That's not the same thing.

- coldtea 9y agoPerhaps you didn't read the parent's link? It too is about the "the myth that medieval Europeans believed the Earth is flat" and not about "the misconception that the Earth is flat". It's just that it's called the "flat Earth myth" (instead of "flat Earth belief in the middle ages myth").
- PaulRobinson 9y agoTPA is a Wikipedia explanation about why Wikipedia can not argue the earth is not flat. The linked article I was replying about was done so in the context that the Earth is flat is a 19th century myth. I was explaining the article they were linking to was not related to the same subject.
- coldtea 9y agoThe parent didn't say his link was about the same subject (to the original article). They just added the information that the belief that the middle ages believed the earth is flat is recent-ish. His "Tl;dr" was meant to be for the link he provided, not the original article.
