Talk:Don River (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Name format

Is there a policy on standard formats for named geographical features? I notice that the three entries (before my addition) were all in different formats. -- Daran 07:36, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

The common format in Wikipedia is Don River, Scotland. The entry Don River (Toronto) is a redirect to Don River, Toronto, but I would consider Don River, Canada to be the correct form. As for River Don, England, I don't know, if the prefixed 'river' is an inherent part of the placename. -- Cordyph 07:59, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Thanks. I suppose I ought to create a stub... -- Daran 08:53, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Actually, comma disambiguation is generally limited to communities (neighborhoods to cities), and parens are used for everything else, so they should all be like "Don River (Toronto)". Waterguy 00:03, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dab page?

I was surprised to enter "Don River" and come to a dab page. My feeling is that the one in Russia is sufficiently pre-eminent so that Don River should go to that article, with a note at the top directing users to the dab page. JamesMLane t c 05:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
