Many rivers list which tributaries they arise from. The Saskatchewan River is fed at its longest by the South Saskatchewan River, and that is fed at its longest by the (don't entirely remember) Bow River (might be the Hay River). The Wikipedia page for the South Saskatchewan lists these details, with citations. If you look there, you will find the information necessary to complete this change. It doesn't seem fair to list so much tributary information for other rivers, but not for the Saskatchewan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dampendair (talk • contribs) 20:15, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discharge

Water yield data are outdated and inaccurate. You may want to check with the "List of rivers by discharge" page. 2A02:AB88:4702:7900:E814:7E1D:E460:AFD (talk) 10:21, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Senegal has wrong continental color-code

The Senegal rivers location is color-coded as North American. Needs to be Africa. 77.181.78.72 (talk) 09:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong length for Amazon River (or wrong citation number)

In the main table, one can read that the Amazon is 6,992 km long according to source [9] (Liu, Shaochuang; Lu, P; Liu, D; Jin, P; Wang, W (2009-03-01). "Pinpointing the sources and measuring the lengths of the principal rivers of the world"). However, that article claims that the river is 6,575 km long, not 6,992. So either the value 6,992 km comes from another source than [9], in which case the source number should be changed, or the value should be changed to 6,575 km, to match source number [9].

Wrong length! I have changed it to 6,575 km to match the source cited.

6,992 km is the questionable number reported by an unpublished 2007 study, as pointed out by Britannica. Zywk (talk) 14:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
