message: This should be at River Rhône.  The other word order is an Americanism.  The Rhône is in the EU, where standard English is official.  — Chameleon 19:26, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*Class V and CEMT need to be slightly explained for the average reader (me). And Rhône simply means "river" doesn't it: cf. Rhein--Wetman 10:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

text: It is custom to state the average annual discharge as a flow rate in units of m³/s. That makes it easier to compare with e.g. an average monthly flow rate. The total average annual amount of water is [flow rate]x[seconds in a year] = 1.8 x 1010 m³ for Rhône. 90.184.242.141 (talk) 18:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

message: From the article:
The average annual discharge from Lake Geneva is 570 m³/s
The wording implies an amount (eg 570 m³), while the unit is a rate.  How should that be written?  The reference has the same wording, it seems unclear to me.  -- Klacquement 15:17, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have moved the article to Rhone because a quick look at Rhone (disambiguation) shows that all the other names would be qualified, by that I mean that if someone see Rhone in an article they will assume the river unless the context implies something else. For example if one reads "He crossed the Rhone." one would assume the Rhone river not the Rhone Glacier. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 09:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I am confused by the sequence of wording opening the Navigation section: Before railroads and highways were invented, the Rhone was an important inland trade and transportation route, connecting the cities of Arles, Avignon, Valence, Vienne and Lyon to the Mediterranean ports of Fos, Marseille and Sète. Before this, travelling down the Rhone by barge would take 3 weeks – it now only takes 3 days. What exactly does the "before this" refer to? Railroads and highways? How does that affect the amount of time to travel by barge down the Rhone? It would seem that shipping improvements would be playing a role in cutting down that transport time. As for railroads and highways, it is now 3 hours by highway and 1 hour 40 minutes by TGV (I just rode this route today!) and I assume similar time by freight train. -Krasnoludek (talk) 15:06, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone added the Italian name "Rodano" in the introduction, but to my knowledge there are no Italain-speaking regions where the Rhone flows. The reason given was the presence of Italian-speaking minorities in Valais but on the Swiss maps I can only see "Rotten", "Rhone" and "Rhône" and not "Rodano". Note: I'm not opposed to mention somewhere in the article that the Rhone is translated as "Rodano" in Italian if it helps (in the Etymology section for example) but logically the introduction should only mention native names. mgeo talk 12:10, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sierre has a small Italian minority. In addition, historically the French departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie belonged to the Italian-speaking Kingdom of Sardinia until 1860. The Vistula article mentions the German name Weichsel in the introduction, even though the river doesn't flow anymore in Germany.Mvaldemar (talk) 12:24, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sierre is a bilingual town since it is located on the French–German language border, but it is surely not an Italian-speaking city even if there are Italian-speaking people living there. On the other hand, the existence of the Kingdom of Sardinia may be a good reason to mention the Italian name. So, if nobody else opposes, I think you can add it back. mgeo talk 13:43, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Gletsch is way more to do with the Rhone river than Martigny yet somehow Gletsch was not bluelinked but Martigny was. Sigh. Can someone explain how this besighsomeness came about?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:411:1600:226:8FF:FEDC:FD74 (talk) 21:48, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
