Is this river the deepest in all of Africa? If not, which river is it?
[edit] Removed vandalism from link page
Some guy wrote something about a frog eating a chicken...
[edit] Length Differences?
Why is the length of the river listed on the right hand side in the table different from that in the article?
[edit] Size of rain forest
How can the Congo river pass through the fifth largest rain forest in the world, if only the Amazon rain forest is larger? Doesn't that make it the second largest?
- I was just investigating this myself - the text read "The river and its tributaries flow through the second largest rain forest area in the world, second only to the Amazon Rainforest in South America." until an anonymous edit on 12 July 2006; I don't know which way to correct it, either to change it back to "second largest" or remove the dependent clause. Anyone with a decent atlas want to help...? Simple web searches did not turn up anything definitive. Pawl 20:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Just did a google on the phrase "second largest rainforest". Various pages list the Congo rainforest as second-largest. 28 October 2006.
[edit] Formatting issue
The table of contents/first heading ("Congo River in Africa" -- which also by the way I corrected from "RIver" to "River") were inside the Infobox, in the middle of the caption/photo credit. I moved it to just after the infobox. --Jefs 16:17, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Separate Congo Basin from Congo River
Congo Basin is a region but Congo River is a river, therefore should be in separate articles —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Guitarhamster (talk • contribs) 15:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Constant flow
This article states that the flow of the Congo is constant throughout the year due to the fact that the drainage basin lies on both sides of the Equator. However according to [this] the average discharge at Inga on the lower Congo has a minimum of 30 000 m3/s in July-August and a maximum of almost 60 000 m3/s in November-December. Now I know that this is constant compared to many rivers which have a peak discharge of many times the minimum, but I still think the 'constant' should be qualified as this is a maximum discharge of almost twice the minimum.

[edit] Wildlife
How about adding a section on flora and fauna of the river? The Zambezi River article has a section on the wildlife of its river. Dogru144 (talk) 07:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
