Location of Nicea
Please see Battle_of_the_Hydaspes. The exact location of Nicea is not know. --Enric Naval (talk) 09:53, 7 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Please refer to wiki "Nicaea, Punjab" references


 * The 1910 edition of Encyclopedia Brittanica is too old. Archeology has evolved a lot since 1910. I'll try to find more modern sources. It looks like it hasn't been found yet. But first I will look at what sources say. --Enric Naval (talk) 19:14, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Enric.

Maybe once the current conditions / history are unhelpful finding the details, we should refer to the distant history for sustenance.


 * The modern sources are not being unhelpful, they are only saying that the location is unknown. And it means that there is no definite proof of Mong being the location. We shouldn't resort to using outdated sources just because we are unsatisfied the answers given by the modern sources. Wikipedia is supposed to reflect the current consensus of scholars, not the outdated consensus of a century ago.


 * I have opened a discussion in Talk:Battle_of_the_Hydaspes, in case other people want to comment. --Enric Naval (talk) 17:51, 6 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I can't find any modern sources supporting the claim that Nicaea is Mong. Consequently, I have added the conclusions of modern sources. 1910 Brittanica is an outdated source in archaeology, and I have left a qualified mention in the Mong article.


 * Wikipedia is not based on outdated sources. Please don't restore again the claim without modern reliable sources that directly support the claim. --Enric Naval (talk) 09:40, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
