Re: ... across northeast Asia for over 4400 km (2,700 mi), from the mountains of northeastern China to the Sea of Okhotsk (near Nikolayevsk-na-Amure).
Isn't this supposed to be northwestern China — it's all in North China, but traces an arc concave down from the East at the Sea, Westwards to Mongolia. User:Fabartus || Talkto_FrankB 29 June 2005 03:50 (UTC)

This page was moved from Amur River to Heilong-Amur River without prior discussion. I am requesting that the page should be moved back to Amur River on the grounds that this is the most widely accepted name in English. "Heilong-Amur River" is not a widely used name.

The following is a discussion about the move of the page which occurred before the Request for Move notice was posted:
Why was this page moved without discussion? I personally have never seen the river referred to as the "Heilong-Amur River". Was this name made up by the editor moving? Or does it have wider acceptance? (A quick Google actually suggests that Amur-Heilong is more common than Heilong-Amur). Also, I would like to challenge the notion that the name changes part way down the river. There is a big stretch where it could arguably be called by both names, Chinese and Russian. The usual name in English is the Russian one. There seems to be no reason (other than some kind of sentiment that "this is a Chinese river, it should be called by the Chinese name) to start calling it the Heilong.

I notice that the article makes a point of mentioning that the river would often just be called "water" and that multiple nearby languages have similar words for that. However, the Mongolian word "mörön" is more commonly translated as "river", not just "water" ("us" is usually cited as the word for "water"). Does/did "mörön" carry that simpler meaning too, or is the writer of that part of the article trying to make associations of words with similar as opposed to identical meaning (in which case the wording would be wrong, since not all three words mean "water")? It might be worth noting that the source was published in 1980 and that the Altaic theory was still very much alive back then.
Also, on a slightly related topic, the etymology given in the infobox is nowhere to be found in the article, so that might require some clarification.
