The current map is a fine map of the river's basin, but the article needs a map that shows the river's location within France. Un sch ool 07:08, 30 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Unschool I agree. The infobox would have to be changed, but the map (right) of northern France could be added below the current detailed map... Jokulhlaup ( talk) 08:48, 30 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Made the change - now has two maps... Jokulhlaup ( talk) 10:42, 1 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Isn't it pronounced Somme as in bomb rather than /sɔːm/ 'sawm' (like fraud)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeelitePowellite ( talk • contribs) 14:11, 29 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Yes. At least in England, it always rhymes with "bomb". The reference is "reliable", but American, where there is "cot/caught merger": arguably the vowel might be lengthened, but I cannot imagine ("demerged") 'au'. LDEL (a UK offshoot of Merriam-Webster originally) gives just /sɔm/. I will be bold, to try to avoid lists of parenthesized pronunciation variations in the first sentence.

I checked further, and Merriam-Webster Collegiate 8th ed. gives /sɔm/ first, so I think that will do. (Actually their first key is "säm", as is "cot or cart", second is "sɘm", which would be the same as "some". Imaginatorium ( talk) 16:19, 2 April 2019 (UTC) reply
