River mouth, Romania or Ukraine?

While this article lists Romania as the ___location for the river mouth, the coordinates for the mouth are 6km east of the Romanian border, putting the terminus of the river squarely inside Ukraine. The delta is of course massive, and contains many forks in both countries, but based on Google Map's labeling, the main fork/branch (inherently not labeled as a fork) follows the Ukrainian/Romanian border until a point along its course 6km from the actual mouth, where the border dips south pushing Romania's boundaries significantly south of the river and well north of Ukraine's border.

My intent is to simply change the mouth's "___location" field to Ukraine. Objections? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cartographile (talkcontribs) 20:00, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

I'd suggest to Just change It into Romania and Ukraine. 91.80.17.247 (talk) 09:36, 23 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'd say to call it "Romania-Ukraine border" (with whatever type of dash is appropriate) InfoManiac297 (talk) 07:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

10 countries?

The article says that it runs through/borders 10 countries, but only mentions 9. Is Moldova the last one?

At the time you wrote this question the text you're referring to says the following: "the river passes through or touches the borders of 10 countries: Romania (29.0% of basin area), Hungary (11.6%), Serbia (10.2%), Austria (10.0%), Germany (7.0%), Bulgaria (5.9%), Slovakia (5.9%), Croatia (4.4%), Ukraine (3.8%), and Moldova (1.6%)" - listed that's:
  1. Romania
  2. Hungary
  3. Serbia
  4. Austria
  5. Germany
  6. Bulgaria
  7. Slovakia
  8. Croatia
  9. Ukraine
  10. Moldova
So yes, the 10th and last one is indeed Moldova. Cartographile (talk) 15:50, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Including Kosovo as one of the countries in Danube river drain

Kosovo is recognized as drain of Danube, in Wikipedia in many of its articles related to Danube river and main tributaries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bina%C4%8Dka_Morava https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Morava 185.158.3.17 (talk) 10:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Upper vs Lower Danube

It would be helpful to the lay reader if Upper and Lower were clearly defined in the article. Is there general agreement on the parameters? Eddylyons (talk) 23:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Danube vs Danube River vs river Danube

Hi. I do not understand your revert. WP:NCRIVER says "X river" (i.e. non-capitalized "river") is not recommended. Mellk (talk) 13:08, 25 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

The lowercase "river" is used for disambiguation e.g. "Danube (river)" or "river Danube". Am I missing something? Mellk (talk) 13:13, 25 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
It would be great if you would engage with me first before making such changes. I see an argument that we do not need to include "river Danube" in the title if the main article does not have any disambiguation. There is no other list with such a title. Not to mention that you are introducing typos because of your willy nilly changes. Mellk (talk) 13:32, 25 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
