Talk:List of rivers of Italy

Naming conventions
If a river has a common English name different than its common Italian name (i.e. the Tiber), I am listing the river by its English name since this is the English-language Wikipedia. If a river does not have a common English name that is different than its common Italian name (i.e. the Po), I am listing the river by its Italian name. If the river has a common name in a language other than English or Italian (especially if the river has a Wikipedia page under this name)(i.e. the Isonzo), I am listing the river under its Italian name with the other name in parentheses next to it. This is because this page is a list of Italian rivers so it makes sense to list the Italian name of the river first and to put the non-Italian name next to it in parentheses.-Schnurrbart (talk) 02:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Hypsas
The page for Hypsas is a disambiguation page linking to one river that is already listed and to two pages that have not been made yet. This issue should be resolved sometime in the future.-Schnurrbart (talk) 01:55, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Only two rivers formerly called the Hypsas, I think: the Belice and the Sant’Anna. The information will have been taken from here, no doubt. But I am not sure what needs to be resolved. The reference to the Sant’Anna appears to be correct: at any rate the Italian Wikipedia article on Agrigento mentions it as the modern name for that Hypsas.

 * I fixed the problem. The two modern rivers are now listed in this article.-Schnurrbart (talk) 03:27, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Longanus
Longanus is a rather dubious river. The brief article on it gives no references and states that it was known as this in the past. I want to have better information on it before adding it to this list.-Schnurrbart (talk) 02:06, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No doubt again from William Smith’s Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography. Quite a lot of it has been pinched for Wikipedia—because it’s a good source. Yes, the article is here. Smith thinks it impossible to be certain which of the rivers of today is referred to, though he thinks the Fiume di Santa Lucia the likeliest.Ian Spackman (talk) 03:41, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Isorno
Where does the Isorno (river) flow to? Its article states that it flows from Italy into Switzerland, where it joins the Melezzo Orientale. Since that article has not been made yet, what body of water does the Isorno ultimately drain into?-Schnurrbart (talk) 03:36, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Isorno -> Melezzo Orientale (it:Melezzo Orientale) -> Maggia -> Lago Maggiore ->  Ticino ->  Po (river) ->  Adriatic. (I’ll try to finish  translating the Melezzo Orientale (and Melezzo Occidentale articles before lunch.) Ian Spackman (talk) 10:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
