Why American English?

edit

The Danube is in Europe. Usually European geohraphic locations are in British English. --Ireadbooks12 (talk) 06:18, 27 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

WP:COFAQ#ENGLISH says either can be used when discussing non-American and non-British subjects. This means that Europe in general can be in either style, as long as the article is consistent throughout. This typically means once American or Queen's English has been chosen for an article, it stays that way. As an American, I love reading silly English 😜 so I'd say that if it means enough to you to change the article in its entirety, go for it! Cartographile (talk) 19:39, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Native Names

edit

Why is there a native name listed as Nepali while appearing to just be German? MrPritzel (talk) 02:00, 25 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

River mouth, Romania or Ukraine?

edit

While this article lists Romania as the location for the river mouth, the coordinates for the mouth are 6km east of the Romanian border, putting the terminus of the river squarely inside Ukraine. The delta is of course massive, and contains many forks in both countries, but based on Google Map's labeling, the main fork/branch (inherently not labeled as a fork) follows the Ukrainian/Romanian border until a point along its course 6km from the actual mouth, where the border dips south pushing Romania's boundaries significantly south of the river and well north of Ukraine's border.

My intent is to simply change the mouth's "location" field to Ukraine. Objections? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cartographile (talkcontribs) 20:00, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

I'd suggest to Just change It into Romania and Ukraine. 91.80.17.247 (talk) 09:36, 23 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

10 countries?

edit

The article says that it runs through/borders 10 countries, but only mentions 9. Is Moldova the last one?

Josteinsnn (talk) 08:30, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

At the time you wrote this question the text you're referring to says the following: "the river passes through or touches the borders of 10 countries: Romania (29.0% of basin area), Hungary (11.6%), Serbia (10.2%), Austria (10.0%), Germany (7.0%), Bulgaria (5.9%), Slovakia (5.9%), Croatia (4.4%), Ukraine (3.8%), and Moldova (1.6%)" - listed that's:
  1. Romania
  2. Hungary
  3. Serbia
  4. Austria
  5. Germany
  6. Bulgaria
  7. Slovakia
  8. Croatia
  9. Ukraine
  10. Moldova
So yes, the 10th and last one is indeed Moldova. Cartographile (talk) 15:50, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Including Kosovo as one of the countries in Danube river drain

edit

Kosovo is recognized as drain of Danube, in Wikipedia in many of its articles related to Danube river and main tributaries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bina%C4%8Dka_Morava https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Morava 185.158.3.17 (talk) 10:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
