Talk:Struma (river)

Untitled
Is it really proper to move this to Struma? Is there a regular English term for it? In my experience it is always Strymon, but that's mostly from reading references to it in the context of ancient Greece. (Google gets 594 results for "Strymon River" and 641 for "Struma River", by the way.) Adam Bishop 13:37, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * I see 2,410 English pages for Strymon river and 2,480 English pages for Struma river on Google. I don't know offhand whether most of the river flows through Bulgaria, but it probably does and it seems that the native term is taking over the ancient one. (I dislike the practice of using " River" in article titles, but that's different.) --Joy &#91;shallot&#93;   03:18, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * Actually there're 218 results for Strymon river and 352 for Struma river. There're also 74 results for Strouma river. I think that if English hasn't got its own word for the river, the article should take the native name. Struma rises in Bulgaria, and the article should be Struma River. --webkid 08:21, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

How can it go 400 km south if it's only 290 km long? The other way around would make sense. However, another possibility is that one or both numbers are incorrect. Jeroen 13:37:20, 2005-08-09 (UTC)

Naming
See Talk:Struma.

You are missing a very important point here. Regardless if it is Struma or Strymon, the discharge of this river is way beyond 76 thousand cubic meters per second. For your information the discharge of Mississippi is a meager 13 thousand cubic meters per second. Please fix your numbers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.126.228.33 (talk) 16:05, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Better map?
I just wanted  to  ask  if  anyone can  find  a  better  map. I clicked  on  the  map,  but  I  still could  make  no sense  of  it. Maybe my  eyes  are  getting  old,  but  even  with  my  glasses  on  this  map  was  not helpful  to  me. Sorry if  I  have  put  this  comment  in  the  wrong  place. Wikipedia has changed  itself  a  bit,  so  I  can  no  longer  comment  directly  on  the  talk  page. Please! Better map? I speak  not  as  an  editor  but  as a  user. 46.12.92.230 (talk) 21:47, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The river is highlighted (unusually) in red - at least this article has a map, unlike a lot of others--Jokulhlaup (talk) 16:32, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
