Talk:Benito River

Merge request from Uoro River
Uoro river doesn't exist. This is about the Uoro Mbini river, an alternative name for the Benito river. Check:

 * https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/map/equatorial-guinea-admin-map.htm
 * Can't see that those links support the claim. Uoro is used in English, such as at:
 * Africa Tour operators page.
 * Perhaps they are referring to a notable tributary? Klbrain (talk) 05:09, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The links supports there is no recording of the Uoro river in the place described at the main source: the Birdlife description of Monte Alen National Park it says "The park is bordered by the large and fast-flowing Uoro river to the west" and  if you check at OSM this is exactly the Mbini river.  Checking  Geonames I see a mention to the Uoro but,  it's even more confusing to me :-|  Also there is no reference to Uoro in Google Maps.
 * Recheking again, looking at this map made by Spain IGN in 1979 it describes Uoro / Mbini river. Look just at the left of the "R I O" word in the map: it says «RIO UORO O MBINI» in Spanish. You can check at R%C3%ADo Muni (Mbini in Fang language) names all the continental region of Equatorial Guinea.
 * So it seems the Ouro river really exists and it's another name for the Mbini/Benito river.

 * That's very thorough and seems fine to me. Now happy to support the merge. I also added on the merge template to the Benito River page a few hours ago (it was missing from there). Klbrain (talk) 12:00, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Did you realized Muni River maybe should be merged too? o_0 Olea (talk) 19:29, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * For Uoro River, ✅
 * Regarding Muni River, I think that this quite different. While the Benito (or Mbini) river "divides [Equatorial Guinea] roughly along the middle" with its mouth at Mbini, the Muni River is further south, forming part of the border with Gabon and with its mouth at Cocobeach (Gabon).
