From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm new enough to make a few errors on protocol, but I swear I know what I'm talking about from a knowledge point of view.

I wage a constant battle against people who think Aornis is the name of one of five tribituary rivers of the river Styx, along with the Acheron, Lethe, Cocytus and Phlegethon rivers. Check the Wikipedia article on Hades, people- it's not. The river Styx doesn't even have any tribituary rivers. And the Acheron, Lethe, Cocytus and Phlegethon are all full rivers, not tribituary. Read up on some Greek Mythology, people! If you did, you'd stop trying to pretend that Aornis is the name of a river. It's the name of a character in Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series. It's one of my favorite series, actually. But the fact remains that the Aornis is not the name of a river. Feel free to prove me wrong if you can find concrete evidence to the contrary.

A few errors on protocol indeed, but I'd say that ultimately it is far more important to get the facts right. Your argument looks convincing, so I changed the Aornis article into a disambiguation page. See the rationale on its talk page. May not be the best solution, but at least it's something.
