[edit]

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 [shallot] 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

[edit]

See Talk:Struma#Naming.

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)[reply]


Better map?

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
