[edit] stub

I think it is correct that this article is marked as a stub (and should remain so for the moment even though I added some information). There is so much more to say about the river Isar. I just added a section on the etymology of the name of the river Isar. It's a translation from the respective section of the article on the German wikipedia. My goal is to get the article to be just as fine as the German one. I started with translating the etymology section. I hope I got it all right (with the help of a dictionary; even though I'm affluent in English I'm not a native speaker and therefore I'm far from perfect). I'm going to continue with this but I hope some of you might want to help, too. --Maxl 22:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

• Hiya! Good to see someone working on here. I'm American, but lived for five years as a kid just a block from the Isar in Harlaching, and some of my best memories are still from that wondrous river valley. I'll help where I can. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 23:54, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, yes the Isar is a wonderful river! And since you lived in Harlaching you must for sure know our wondeful zooo Tierpark Hellabrunn! Well, I just added a history section to the article. ;) --Maxl 11:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Best zoo I've ever been to -- and I've lived in New York and Washington DC too. (Best museum, too!) --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 14:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Yep, best zoo there is! I just added another section about environmental issues. ;) The next section is flora and fauna, that will be hard because I must check out the English name of many species of animals and plants. --Maxl 21:15, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey there - I'm happy to translate some stuff from the German article. The Missing Piece 10:01, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
