Talk:Moskva (river)

Moskva River v Moscow River
'Moskva River' is more accurate to the Russian name, but I suggest removing the redirect from 'Moscow River' as it is commonly used in English and therefore should be corrected to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for place names Proper_names. Maiya 15:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * What's the point of removing the redirect?.. We don't want to have a duplicate article. Or did you mean to have 'Moskva River' redirect to 'Moscow River'? Why? I don't see how "Moskva River" does not meet the guideline you're referring to, both names are commonly used in English Azov 17:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I did mean to have 'Moskva River' redirect to 'Moscow River'. I'm still learning my way around here, sorry! I do still think that 'Moscow River' is more commonly used in English, but I suppose we'll see if anyone seconds this. Maiya 11:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Map
The map is not correct: the Moskva flows into the Oka above Ryazan, not below it. Please fix the problem. -- Ghirla -трёп-  05:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll get to it soon, looking at an Atlas it's pretty clear - I've never had the USGS data be that spectacularly wrong before Kmusser 17:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Etymology
"Moskva and Moscow are two different renderings of the same Russian word Москва. The city is named after the river." - it's rather not true - The river name was Moskъva(> rus. Moskva) and the city name was Moskъvъ [gordъ] (> rus. Moskov [grad or gorod]) which is adjective form from the river name ("the stronghold, city near Moskva river"). In later times both names were unifided but in OldRussian text city was called Moskov and the river Moskva... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.244.139.49 (talk) 12:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The wrong name
I'm not an expert in English, however, I tend to think that the correct name should be "River Moscow" (like River Thames etc). Both "Moskva River" and "Moscow River" seem to be some sort of rendering of the widespread dialectism "Москва-река" while the official name is "река Москва", the latter literally meaning "River Moscow". 178.177.21.234 (talk) 21:35, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
