User talk:Koenraadt
I am Gerard Koenraadt, 70 years and live in Suriname where the official language is Dutch. I have allready translated the English Wikipedia article on "Amazon River" into Dutch, because it was a lot smaller than the English page. but now I have a problem: I find that the Amazon does not end at its mouth but where its physical influence ends.The Amazon delivers a huge amount of sediment which is caried by the westward Guyana gulfstream as far as the mouth of the Orinoco and even into the Carribean basin. No problem to add it to the dutch page; this will leave the English page shorter than the Dutch. So I would like to add this section on to the English page also. The sediment discharged by the Amazon and the Guyana gulfstream make the Guyana coastline the fastest accreting coastline in the world. These statements can be fully referenced, no problem
