A Common Misconception?
It describes "all rivers flow N-S" as a 'common misconception'. In my half century on this planet, nearly half of which are in education, I have encountered a lot of misconceptions but never heard of this. What is the definition of 'common' being employed here. The sources listed a few blogs; hardly encyclopaedic.  2001:8003:F231:2501:E41C:D857:B016:7B0F (talk) 11:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed, that's an absolutely ridiculous idea that is not at all a common misconception. All I can find about it is people saying that rivers /don't/ always flow N-S, i.e refuting the supposed misconception, but nobody actually believing the misconception. 92.10.3.218 (talk) 20:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

The Submarine River Picture caption is wrong as it is not san jose california but san jose in the phillipines which is under the picture caption.
Change the place name in submarine river caption from San Jose California to San Jose, Quezon, Bukidnon 2600:6C50:5A3F:D54B:3C2C:B26B:84BA:EB61 (talk) 02:34, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ⸺(Random)staplers 02:42, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I believe they were referring to this file in this section. Its caption says that it was taken in Quezon, which is in the Philippines. Since their edit request does not require reliable sources, I've went ahead and changed it. ZZZ'S 03:00, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
