It describes "all rivers flow N-S" as a 'common misconception'. In my half century on this planet, nearly half of which are in education, I have encountered a lot of misconceptions but never heard of this. What is the definition of 'common' being employed here. The sources listed a few blogs; hardly encyclopaedic.  2001:8003:F231:2501:E41C:D857:B016:7B0F (talk) 11:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Agreed, that's an absolutely ridiculous idea that is not at all a common misconception. All I can find about it is people saying that rivers /don't/ always flow N-S, i.e refuting the supposed misconception, but nobody actually believing the misconception. 92.10.3.218 (talk) 20:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall: Adjusted the Wikilinks in the hooks. GA promoted two days ago, on 14 August. References were spot-checked for verification; no issues arose. I prefer the original hook. Yue🌙22:34, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I believe they were referring to this file in this section. Its caption says that it was taken in Quezon, which is in the Philippines. Since their edit request does not require reliable sources, I've went ahead and changed it. ZZZ'S03:00, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

"While rivers may flow into lakes or man-made features such as reservoirs, the water they contain will always tend to flow down toward the ocean. [1] However, if human activity siphons too much water away from a river for other uses, the riverbed may run dry before reaching the sea.[1]"

"While rivers may flow into lakes or man-made features such as reservoirs, the water they contain will always tend to flow down toward the ocean or, in the case of an Endorheic basin, a local low point. [1] However, if human activity or losses to groundwater[2] siphon too much water away from a river for other uses, the riverbed may run dry before reaching the sea.[1]"
Change:
"If a river of a higher order and a lower order merge, the order is incremented from whichever of the previous rivers had the higher order."
to:
"If a river of a higher order and a lower order merge, the order is not incremented. Order increments only when two rivers of the same order merge.[3]" RustyHydrologist (talk) 22:37, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Since I am not able to see the citations for the first change, I jumped onto another one and made the change per citaitons provided. I saw the reference is supporting the context being changed. VerdictByLogic - Let's Discuss08:59, 15 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
