Naming[edit]

Why was this moved from River Tarn, where I started it, to Tarn River? -- ALoan (Talk) 11:44, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Rivers, "River articles may be named "X", "X River", or "River X", depending on location and most common usage. "X river" is never recommended, and "X (river)" should only be used if absolutely necessary." Since most French rivers follow the pattern "X River" in Wikipedia (see Rivers of France), I have moved this article from "River Tarn" to "Tarn River". olivier 04:16, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)
