Though I have fixed some of them, there are some biases toward the United States perspective, or possibly from a Eurocentric perspective.
For example, originally it only listed the major rivers that were in the United States as drainage rivers, but none were coming from Mexico. It mentioned Canada's obscure role in the drainage basin system, but failed to even mention Guatemala that has a more noticeable and direct link to the Gulf of Mexico via the Usumacinta River. The original listed settlements included almost every American city on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, but just few in Mexico itself.
Also, in the history, which I also just recently added some small change to push the narrative in the right direction, the human history starts with Christopher Columbus despite that the Mayans traded via the Gulf of Mexico perhaps centuries before he even arrived.
I'm just informing this now because while I have spotted some details, there could be a lot more that is biased toward the American or Eurocentric perspective. I feel like that needs to be looked into. -- HyettsTheGamer2 ( talk) 18:56, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
That's an image of just the Mississippi watershed. What about the others?
Removed the following commentary from article. Was not peer reviewed and seems a speculative search for new ideas rather than a report on researched data.
The commentary is online at http://www.aapg.org/explorer/2002/12dec/gom_impact.pdf - for those interested. Removed from the article per WP:Undue weight for what looks like a speculative essay. Vsmith 23:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
The artice states: "... is the ninth largest body of water in the world". That should be "tenth"; see for example http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/toptenlists/World%27s_Largest_Bodies_of_Water. 199.3.224.3 ( talk) 23:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Gulf of America is correct because more of the coast line is under USA control — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.158.142.62 ( talk • contribs) 15:09, 18 May 2012
Someone should add a picture of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.226.139.53 ( talk) 14:15, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
That seems fair enough to me.
why I came across this article was because I was looking for the Gulf's maximum depth. somewhat surprised to find that it's not an element in the "basic data" template for an ocean region.
In fact, both of these points would probably be valid additions to the template. How to go about editing a template though, I've no idea.
(Just trying to actually answer the data part of the question.)
