List of rivers by length

I think this is one of the more important lists on Wikipedia, and should be featured. I only made minor edits to the list, but comments would be appreciated. Phoenix2 19:24, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is the sort of list we would like at WP:FLC. However, it has some issues:

• Why is there a table and a numbered list, both of which broadly duplicate each other? Can't they be integrated?
• Since actual lengths are disputed, it does not help very much to list "some lengths found in sources" - much better would be to state which reference cites which length.
• The format of the table is not brilliant - it could do with a "number" column on the left, it would look better as a {{prettytable}}, and some colours (for example, a different one for each continent) would be a good idea - see the recently featured lists in WP:FL for some ideas.

Good work so far, though. -- ALoan (Talk) 22:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments, I'll try to get {{prettytable}} in there, add some colour, and check the already featured lists. Phoenix2 22:48, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Amazon and Yangtze have superscripted numbers, but I don't see any footnotes. If you add them, could you use {{ref}} and {{note}}? — mark ✎ 08:34, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'll add footnotes for those rivers. Phoenix2 17:01, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Could you lighten up the table colours a bit? Its too jarring. Could you also mark part of the Indus region area as disputed, like you have done for Ganges-Brahmaputra? =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:15, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment. Phoenix2 20:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I will soon submit this list to Wikipedia:Featured list candidates, so if anyone has any final comments/suggestions, they would be appreciated. Phoenix2 02:45, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The colors used for NA and AUS are still bad. BTW the dispute is not India/PRC only. It is India/PRC and India/Pak. Two different disputes. To save you the trouble in figuring it out, just find out how much area it has in Pak/India/PRC-administered Kashmir. map. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:10, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

I lightened the colours of Oceania and North America. I'll try to fix the disputed river. File:PhoenixSuns 100.pngPhoenix2 21:57, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
