Talk:Japurá River

Comments
Is this from that old 1911 encyclopedia (i.e., all the Amazon articles), or from some extraordinarily hard-working Wikipedian??

Shouldn't the tributary articles be located at XYZ River or Rio XYZ? There are bound to be names of Brazilian states, cities, and other places that use the names of the rivers.

This is likely from some old ecyclopedia. I found it this morning in a terrible state. Pinkunicorn did a great job on the tributaries, and i'm just mopping up. Personally, i'm all for using the local names without the title in front or after (we are all friends here :-) --Anders Törlind

Except for Madeira of course... - All the rivers are from the Amazon river article originally, and I guess it's from the 1911 text (or at least from an old text). I think we can keep the names they're on now. If there are conflicts later, we can fix that will "Foo" pointing to "Foo river" and "Foo state" or whatever as needed. Some of these rivers seem to have half a dozen names in different languages as well as they flow through different countries, so if anyone feels like adding lots of redirects there's stuff to do. Someone who actually knows this area will probably do a better job of polishing it that I can. --Pinkunicorn

I still think they should all be redirected, or it will just be a persistent problem, but that's just me. Maybe I'll do it later, maybe not. More importantly, if it is from the 1911 text, it would be a good idea to add notices to that effect. --Larry ____

There are some articles that prove in tandem the claims made in this article about the size of the catfish (in the Environment section). The first one is a research paper that states the abundance of a species of catfish, Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii, in the Japurá river. Another article states that the size of that species is "at least 1900mm". That can be edited in the article as well. I'm new to Wikipedia editing—how would you cite like that, with reasoning? 2601:646:8C00:2110:B836:4236:EDAF:4934 (talk) 21:51, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
