I have posted an extensive Explanation about the usefulness and purpose of this article on Mikkalai's talk page, should anyone be interested. Pasquale 00:39, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
An most welcome article. For research purposes alone, so good to know the Dutch name: "Zoom" for the "Somme river", opens up many new paths. Reckon on an 'lost' English exonym suchlike: 'Soom' or 'Soome' too. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.67.145.164 ( talk) 01:10, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
I disagree with
Dbachmann's statement that "only genuinely different names should be listed, not stuff like "Aar" vs. "Aare", "Danube" vs. "Donau" etc.)". If that were the case, it would be entirely a matter of opinion, and completely subjective. It seems to me that his argument is unsupportable. I recommend a prompt removal of his {{
cleanup|date=November 2010}}
notice.

I removed the {{ more citations}} tag on the article, which had displayed:
This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. / Find sources: "List of European rivers with alternative names" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR (October 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
because the introduction is entirely non-controversial and requires no sourcing. Statements like "This is a list of rivers" etc. don't need sourcing and indeed can't be attributed to sources outside of Wikipedia. All the names of the individual rivers should be supported in their separate articles; no purpose would be served by copying all the references in those separate articles back into this one. -- Doncram ( talk) 22:42, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

List of European rivers with alternative names → European rivers' alternative names – As a matter of basic editing, move article to more natural name. Note that every river in Europe certainly has multiple names, while this list probably does not include every one, contrary to implication of its current title. This is a list of sets, one for each river, of the more commonly used names, indirectly sourced to coverage in the individual rivers' articles. Doncram ( talk) 22:53, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
See ongoing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Latin names of rivers, where there is suggestion that List of Latin names of rivers might be merged to here. -- Doncram ( talk) 23:35, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
