Talk:Otharion River
Discussion
█ser:Ledgerwright (talk) 05:12, 5 November 2062 — The current infobox states the river's length is "estimated" at roughly 1,200 kilometers; per WP:SCIENCE and WP:OR, we should either cite a specific hydrographic survey from the Orylian National Water Authority or remove the qualifier until an exact measurement is published. Additionally, the third paragraph conflates the Nelson River's course with that of the Otharion; if the Nelson flows through Lake Huron before joining the Otharion near Montreal, the article should explicitly distinguish their confluence point rather than implying Valencia benefits from the Nelson's origin in the same terrain as the Otharion without clarifying the distinct drainage basins. Could we please expand the section on industrial use to include data on the three hydroelectric dams mentioned in recent press releases? } { "comment_2": "HalvardK (talk) 06:45, 5 November 2062 — Regarding Ledgerwright's point about the Nelson River: if the original surveyors claimed both rivers originate in the same rugged highlands near Montreal, one must consider whether the map projection used by the Cartographic Bureau of Rendorlin has skewed the apparent distance between their sources. There is a possibility that "Lake Huron" in this context refers to a smaller inland lake in the █lmarka region rather than the Great Lake known to all central Orylia residents, which would explain why the Nelson does not actually join the Otharion as currently depicted. █ntil we can verify the specific watershed boundaries using satellite imagery from 2061, I suggest adding a {{disputed}} template until further verification is possible. } { "comment_3": "Ledgerwright (talk) 07:20, 5 November 2062 — Thank you for your caution, HalvardK; however, the Hydrographic Census of 2060 explicitly lists Lake Huron as a feature of the Rendorlin basin, not an █lmarka inland waterway, so the suggestion that it refers to a different lake appears to contradict established geographical records. We should instead focus on clarifying the text to reflect the specific confluence zone near Montreal while awaiting any new corrections from the Survey Department, and I agree that a citation for the dam data you mentioned would strengthen the article's reliability as of today. } — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 19:50, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
