Great article! Only problem is the name. Google say; there are 31,500 webpages (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_qdr=all&q=%22Tiber%22+-river)] on the internet with the word "Tiber" that do not have the word "river" in them. Changing over the name of the entry to Tiber river. --User:maveric149
Isn't that as much a reason not to rename the page? Often the word Tiber is used without river, but still the river is meant. Your version gives some other meanings of the word, but none of these would warrant a link to Tiber - they both would link to some longer term including Tiber. Don't disambiguate something that is not amiguous! Also notice that there are (not counting this page), 2 pages linking to Tiber river, but 9 to TiberAndre Engels
Disputed
It's not quite clear if the Tiber is the 2nd or 3rd longest river in Italy. Britanica says second longest at [1] (http://concise.britannica.com/ebc/article?eu=406032) which I'm inclined to trust, but several other sources, incliding the ESA at [2] (http://earth.esa.int/showcase/ers2/Rome_Italy_SAR_IM_Orbit_45796_20040123.htm) are indicating that it is the third longest river in Italy. Does anyone have any more information on this? Zachlipton 05:39, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Since the "other" candidate for second longest river is not even mentioned, and since no 'dispute' is entered on this page, it seems premature to slap a "disputed" label on this article. The "disputed" label has been so misused at Wikipedia that many fastidious editors won't touch it. Wetman 06:00, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The river in question is the Adige River. I do not know about unknown or approximate river lengths or alternate possible tributary routes. Edital 18:48, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
