Talk:Rio Negro (Amazon)

message: Surely it receives the Casiquiare canal from the LEFT (from the north, from the Orinoco direction)?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.23.104 (talk) 19:26, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

message: Rio Negro seems to be much more common variant in English. Here are some unscientific Google statistics:
 Negro River     -  5570 (including Britannica)
 Rio Negro       - 44600 (including Encarta)
 Rio Negro River -   664
 Black River     - 34800 (mostly false positives)

* Support - as you say, far more common. Warofdreams 8 July 2005 13:29 (UTC)
* Move to Río Negro with the acute accent.  — Chameleon 8 July 2005 13:58 (UTC)
** Río Negro is a Spanish name. In Portuguese, it's Rio Negro. -- Naive cynic 23:51, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

message: According to this article there are at least two Rio Negros - are we going to create a disambiguation problem by moving it? Rmhermen July 8, 2005 17:36 (UTC)

message: rio negro <=> río negro
when
rio negro redirect to río negro
or
río negro redirect to rio negro
:: Considering that this river flows entirely in Brazil, to add its Spanish name would be inconsistent. Perhaps just like adding a redirect Rio Mississípi just because in Portuguese we use the accent on that name. jggouvea 01:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: 1. The Mississipi is not in Brazil... exceptions are made if the name is native to that region.. and the river is not "entirely" in Brazil but also shared with Colombia and Venezuela. Two countries against one..--((F3rn4nd0 ))(BLA BLA BLA) 04:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This was added recently:
"Negro river contributes more of 70% of apples and pears to the production of the country, and 38% of this one to almost export fresh type, whereas a 40% become industrialized in form of concentrated juice, and their final destiny are the export [" 
Can anyone verify it? Debivort 05:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That refers to the Argentine Rio Negro. Apples and pears are temperate and do not grow in the Amazon.--Wloveral (talk) 01:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  strange new addition 

message: The discharge figure given for the Rio Negro (28,000 m3/s) refers to the Madeira River instead in the reference cited. The value for the Rio Negro is 103,000 m3/s.

thread_title: Restructuring of article

message: Shouldn't we move the title to Black River? Why favor the Portuguese name in the title if there is also a name in Spanish and an alternative name? The name of Rio/Río Negro can be perfectly translated into English as Black River. We translate the name of the Rio/Río Amazonas into Amazon River, why not do the same to Rio Negro? − Allice Hunter (Inbox) 21:29, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
