replies: text: No need to whine. The double name could be justified for Eisack-Isarco, because it flows only through Alto Adige/South Tyrol, but Adige is an Italian river, for the greater part of its course it flows through Italian-speaking Trentino and Veneto and it is universally known by its Italian name.

text: Don't increase a little problem. I proposed a change of only two denomination (one more evident that another) and not to delete all southtiroler geographic names! --Ilario 20:39, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Attention 

message: The request for a move to Adige has been up for six days, and it seems consensus has been reached in favor of the move. So I'm moving it. --Angr/ 17:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consensus reached 

message: Can someone please include a map? If (especially) Americans like me are ignorant about geography, lets educate 'em. Also, perhaps the panoramic photo could be resized - even on broadband it takes a while to load. 207.224.27.76 23:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  No Map ?? 

message: The article used to include this bit near the beginning: "Ancient greek: Athesis, Αθισης".
That seems odd since the two words (transcription and Greek orthography) don't match. If the Greek had been Αθησις, it might have worked, but I didn't know whether that was correct so I just removed the entire claim.
I tried googling for Αθησις but only found a couple of hits which were part of μάθησις which had been mis-written or mis-scanned as μ΄αθησις; and googling for Αθισης only finds sites that copied the Wikipedia article.
If you can find a source for the Ancient Greek name of the river (and I'd appreciate it, for a private project of mine!), please add the name with the appropriate citation. Bonus points for including the correct accents. -- pne (talk) 16:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Greek name 

message: The use of German language names for certain geographic places (only those in in South Tyrol should apply..) but then not even using the name in any manner regarding the river is not consistant at all. Certainly the river is called the Etsch in Bozen province by the vast majority of the pop. with the official sanction of the Italian govt!! By this rational the Italian name for the man made lake should be included also. Italian is the co-official language of Bolzano/Bozen Pro. and some Italians do live there!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.82.144.244 (talk) 16:21, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
