Talk:Upper Rhine

Merger
Support. In fact there is another article on the same subject at Rhine Rift which ought to be incorporated too. Strictly there is a distinction between the (Upper) Rhine Rift, which is the geological structure, and the Upper Rhine Plain, which is the geographical landscape on top of it. However that distinction can be brought out in the new merged article. If the merger grows too large, it can always be split out again, but perhaps more logically than the current 3 articles. For what it's worth, Upper Rhine Plain, Rhine Rift Valley and Rhine Rift are all authoritative English names (according to Dickinson or Elkins). I suggest we stick with Upper Rhine Plain as the overall title (since it embraces the others) and use Rhine Rift or Rift Valley as the sub-title of the geological section --Bermicourt (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

no support the first paragraph is correct, describing a part of the rhine river. as in the german wikipedia, this can and should be expanded. the part about the earthquakes and temperatures has no business in this article and i will move it to Upper Rhine Plain where it belongs. as to the destinction between rift and plain, i agree. it should remain together until there is sufficient info to justify sperate articles. rift and plain are also in one article in german wikipedia (Oberrheinische Tiefebene and Oberrheingraben).Sundar1 (talk) 11:31, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
