message: I suggest that, for the sake of consistensy, we use the spelling Zambezi (most used English spelling) instead of Zambesi. --Ezeu 19:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Zambesi vs Zambezi 

message: Britannica states that the river rises near Kalene Hill. On the map Kalene Hill looks much closer to the sources than Mwinilunga, which is situated some 70 km southward, on West Lunga river (tributary of Zambezi). There is no info about Kalene Hill in the Wikipedia. Verdi1 16:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources of the river 

message: I suggest that the paragraphs on the tributaries be replaced by links to articles on each of those rivers, and details all be transferred to those pages. The article is quite long already, and could do with a few comments on the Zambezi basin as a whole and on the palaeogeographical history of the river. Does anyone object?

replies: text: As previously flagged and since there were no objections I have moved detailed text on the tributaries to articles on those rivers and replaced with the an oiverview of the Zambezi basin listing the rivers with some hydrological data, and including material on floods especially.

thread_title:  Tributaries: duplication of Wikipedia entries for those rivers 

message: The figure given here was 7000 m³/s which is found in other references such as MSN Encarta and several websites. A figure of 4880 m³/s is given on the Rivers of the Earth website. However I have found two references, both hydrological works, giving figures either side of 3,400 m³/s and so I have amended to this figure and given the references. Possibly the figure of 7000 m³/s is the mean flow rate for March or April, ie when the river is in flood. The same thing happened with the Victoria Falls page - rainy season peak flow rate being used as an average figure. Rexparry sydney 03:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Similarly these two references give lower figures for area of the basin. Rexparry sydney 08:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this be called the Zambezi River, not just the Zambezi? --I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 21:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: We also have Nile, Danube, Rhine, Mekong.  It's okay not to append "River" when there's really no confusion what you're talking about.  It's commonly called just the Zambezi (and "Zambezi River" though certainly not incorrect sounds very odd).  Also important to note is that there's no other significant Zambezis -- a different situation than, say, Mississippi, which would more likely be the US state.  As with Nile, Danube, etc.  I think the current name is appropriate. --JayHenry (talk) 00:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Removed the word 'beautiful' and changed 'spectacular' to well-known as it makes it sound like a tourism brochure otherwise.

message: Tributaries are normally classified as left or right looking downstream, as the tributary article says. So the lists in the infobox are the wrong way around. Babakathy (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
