Connecticut River revert
Greetings. The St. John's River is not a river in New England. It intersects New England, but most of its length is elsewhere. The Connecticut River is entirely within New England, so the article is correct in its wording. - Denimadept (talk) 18:47, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I guess I do not understand the logic here? Yes, the Saint John River has more watershed in New Brunswick, but 211 miles of its course is in New England - thus isn't it in New England. And even if you only wanted to include the portions before it shares a border with Canada, over 100 miles is banked on both sides by New England via Maine. For a comparison, I can only imagine people would agree that the Nile is the longest river in South Sudan, even though other nations have more of its length. Also, I can only imagine people would agree that the Connecticut River is the longest river in Connecticut, even though most of its length is elsewhere. Plus, I doubt many people with argue with me for saying the Saco River is in New Hampshire, even though it is also in Maine (and is even longer in Maine). Why not say the Saint John River is the largest and longest river in New England? Nhsalmon (talk) 22:38, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
