Rivers and hills of Sheffield

 * 1) Thanks for this list of Sheffield floods - I'm wondering if we're all happy that this page currently says that Sheffield is "located on the confluence of seven rivers" while other Sheffield pages (Sheffield and Geography_of_Sheffield) only say five rivers?  The 'extra' rivers are the Rother and the Moss.  My view would be that these last two rivers (the Moss is a brook, not a river anyway) don't go pass close enough to Sheffield city centre for them to be included.  I realise that this entry has been in from the start (thanks Buttons0603) and no-one else seems to have objected, so thought I'd better ask.
 * 2) On a similar note, the page says that Sheffield "is nestled in seven hills". The main Sheffield pages are much more circumspect about the number of Sheffield hills. The "seven hills of Sheffield" is, I think, a bit of a myth which has grown up to try and make Sheffield sound more like Rome.  Whenever anyone is challenged to unambiguously show the hills, they struggle - citation required at the very least, I would have thought. But I'm suggesting changing the wording to "several" hills.

I'm making the changes I proposed - no feedback received.
