According to the page, the Amazon River is 6,400 km or 3,976 miles long, however I found some evidence that tells another story. The following links describe the Amazon River to be 6,800 km or 4,225 miles long:

Why is Russia the first in the list in all the rivers flowing through Russia? Classification from source to drain or according to political preferences? Amur begins in China, but for some reason Russia is the first on the list! Why?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.122.108.2 ( talk • contribs) 05:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
@ 420Traveler: @ Plastikspork: @ SavoryPropellerHat: @ Ashersea: @ DB1729: @ Dylanvt: @ JohnFromPinckney: @ Kmusser: @ Shantavira: @ Ehrenkater: @ WEGC1: Information is mostly the same in List of rivers by length and List of rivers by discharge. It's hard to keep 2 articles up to date and consistent. Why not merge the 2 articles? Each can be sorted both ways. The criteria for inclusion would be having either discharge over 2,000 cubic meters/sec or 1,000 km. I wanted to discuss before making a formal proposal. Kim9988 ( talk) 22:12, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

The Nile River is the second-longest and the Amazon River is longer 204.98.86.50 ( talk) 14:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

When it is the longer river. Elsewhere, the article follows the convention of following the longest tributary not the largest (as with Mississippi and Nile), correctly for the purposes of the article in my view. However, this is not made explicit or discussed, which it should probably be. Marqaz ( talk) 12:28, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

So, when I googled up is Amazon river and the Nile longer, it say Brazilian scientists’ 14 day expedition extended the length by 176 miles making it 65 miles longer than the nile river. I think this is outdated. Muktheduck ( talk) 03:24, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

the longest river is the Nile length is 6990 km — 43.252.250.187 ( talk) 00:00, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Only the countries the river itself flows through have been listed. The nine containing tributaries are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Montenegro, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, North Macedonia and Albania. Can these be added please? Here is a web page which can be cited for this:

The rest of the article lists rivers with their longest tributary, eg. Mississippi-Missouri, rather than "Mississippi" and "Missouri" separately; the longest tributary of the Ganges is the Brahmaputra system. Is this because the delta has already started by the time the Brahmaputra joins it? The Brahmaputra does seem to join the main channel of the Ganges, though, if I'm right? So the other delta outflow channels can be disregarded? Xyu2 ( talk) 07:43, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

There is a much bigger difference in miles than in kilometers in the lengths listed for these two rivers. That can't be correct. 81.106.57.183 ( talk) 23:35, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
@ Aggarwal bansal: You have made some major changes to this article, which have introduced factual errors into the article, please see the section above. I challenged your edits, and you reverted me twice. Now, please first discuss here, the reasons for the changes before making the changes again as I've undid your edit once again for factual errors.
