Inconsistency in the stated drainage basin area
The article gives two significantly different figures for the drainage basin area of the Yellow River (Huang He). The infobox lists the basin size as 752,546 km², but the opening paragraph states the river has "a drainage basin of 795,000 km²," and the "Geography" section repeats: "Its total drainage area is about 795,000 km²." The difference between these figures is approximately 42,000 km² — about 5.6% — and the article does not explain the discrepancy or attribute the two figures to different measurement definitions. Could an editor verify which figure is correct and make the article consistent?
