Comments[edit]

Wikipedia convention is to bold the title (or approximate occurence thereof) when it first occurs in the article. Thanks Dysprosia 05:03, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Dysprosia... yes, I'm aware of that. However, a list is not, strictly speaking, an article, and the bolded text was not the article title. Futhermore, the bolding of that text is visually unattractive. Those were the multiple reasons behind my edit. -- Seth Ilys 05:06, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Asymmetry of Iowa rivers[edit]

Rivers discharging into the Missouri or the Mississippi should be ordered according to the side of the basin (right or left) along these major rivers. The lists resulting can be used to see the asymmetry of river basins, very clear in Iowa, and corresponding risk of flooding. --Fev 03:27, 16 February 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fev (talk • contribs)
