Talk:River Shannon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regarding the Shannon being the longest river in the British Isles... according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_of_Great_Britain#Longest_rivers_in_the_United_Kingdom the Severn is longer. (Unsigned comment by 195.92.168.173)
- The Shannon is not in the United Kingdom, which is a different thing from the British Isles. See British Isles (terminology) --A bit iffy 20:39, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't quite follow.
"The Shannon is the longest river in the British Isles." The River Severn is in the "British Isles" and according to the facts provided in an article about the United Kingdom it is longer.
The river as far as Limerick pls the length of the estuary exceed the length of the River Severn. I am unsure how the length of the Severn was defined (with or without the estuary). The Shannon is always listed as the longest river in the British Isles. I hope this helpsDmccabe 01:23, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

There are possibly some extra details in the Italian version - it:Shannon (fiume), if someone has time they should check it with babelfish and decrypt. zoney ♣ talk 01:19, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Map
The map looks good. I've resized to half size, although perhaps a new rendition with captions applied to a map of slightly larger than the current resize would be better.

[edit] Source
As defined by the article the river does not have Dowra on it. Does the river not have its source at the Shannon Pot, County Cavan? Laurel Bush 16:59, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC).
Is it Shannon Pot or Cavan Pot? Last time I saw it the pool was signed "Shannon Pot". Laurel Bush 09:52, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC).
[edit] Cromwell?
I've heard the quote 'to Hell or to Connaught before (Junior Cert history yay!) but not attributed to Cromwell. I'm suspicious Indigenius 00:50, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
