`  == Afro-Eurasia ==  There is (or was) a ``dubious - discuss`` tag for the ``four continents`` theory. Apparently nobody discussed this so far. I did not know this theory, IOW, I considered the ``four continents`` as patent nonsense. But checking the article it turned out to make sense: ``one land mass``, as explained in the article, with a nice animated GIF showing the count.   Unrelated, the article states quite often that Spain/Portugal/Greece consider the Americas as one continent. JFTR, that is also the case in Germany, or rather it was the case 40 years ago, I can't tell what they teach today. More precisely in Germany the Americas are considered as one continent with three sub-continents (North, ``Middle`` = Central, South; with Mexico and the Caribbean as part of Central America). Many contributors on this talk page already pointed out that there is no such thing as an ``Australian continent``, that continent is known as Oceania; please fix this. My own SoFixIt for today was a reference for ``the eighth continent`` — another case of patent nonsense that turned out to be okay, if so far only one source is good enough. –  `
