Template:WikiProject Waterfalls

[Untitled]

Why is Yosemite Falls listed on the table? The description above the table is 'This is a list of waterfalls of the world by mean annual flow rate, height and width' but the mean annual flow rate of Yosemite Falls is listed as 'unknown'. Either the flow rate should be listed or the line for Yosemite Falls should be deleted I would suggest.

Also, it says the list "excludes rapids, such as Inga Falls", and yet the second entry in the list is Inga Falls? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.97.41.12 (talk) 18:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Guaíra flow rate

How is it that the quoted flow rate of Guaíra waterfall is nearly three times the flow rate of the Parana river? (And the river flow rate is taken at the mouth!) 157.182.105.1 (talk) 04:35, 6 February 2011 (UTC) I was just looking at the same thing. Unless there is an objection, I would like to change it to <15,000. There are many rivers entering downstream of the dam, it looks like the largest has a flow of 1700. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.202.252.87 (talk) 15:29, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adjusted flow rate for Guaira from maximum to average, per the main source for the list. Additional sources would, of course, be good, since it's still a very large number. 96.241.148.200 (talk) 03:51, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Got sorting features to work right

I added coding to the tables. The feature to sort the falls by flow rate, by maximum drop, and by width were not working right. Now it works. 173.79.191.234 (talk) 15:59, 21 January 2012 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of waterfalls by flow rate. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://www.webcitation.org/6F8bwNLDA?url=http://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/waterfall/Guaira-Salto-del-103/ to http://www.world-waterfalls.com/waterfall.php?num=139

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

Waterfall heights

Heights of waterfalls are notoriously difficult things to get right - various definitions are used since water heights vary with flow, some are not single but double or multiple drops, the actual measurements may be made inaccurately, longstanding inaccurate ones tend to persist in the public realm even once superseded and, as would appear to be case with images of many in this article, various drops are better considered as rapids rather than waterfalls. I'm not offering a solution to this problem (is there one?!), just a warning to the unwary visitor to this and other waterfalls pages to treat the info with caution. That said I've changed or removed the most glaring inconsistencies. cheers Geopersona (talk) 05:36, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Khone Phapheng Falls

These falls are part of an archipelago in the Mekong River that may be 11 km wide, but the actual width of these falls is much narrower, I guess not more than 200 meter. Sorry for the proud Laotians. The falls are impressive anyway - as long as they are not exploited for hydroelectricity (which is a common problem in the area). Rbakels (talk) 08:06, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
