Mosasaur and Moselle have names that come from this river's name but what origin does this river's name has? Undead Herle King ( talk) 00:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, the German word which is spelled exactly the same of course has a total different Etymology ? :-) 88.159.79.148 ( talk) 19:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
Added to this article might be the following facts:
1) There are six hydroelectric plants in this river, as a result of which there are as good as no migrating kinds of fishes, like salmon and eel, in it any more.
2) In the Dutch part, from near the frontier, up to about Venlo, since the 70s vast extractions of gravel from the river and it's banks have destroyed the typical landscape of grean fruityards as good as completely. Instead there are now mainly vast lakes, on which there is some waterrecreation, although in the Belgian part upstream the drain is discharged uncleared in the river. VKing ( talk) 23:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
In May 1940, the Germans crossed over the Meuse, which everyone thought to be impossible. Nothing about WWII is mentioned in the article except events in 1944/1945. I think it would be beneficial to the article to include this. Starsmark ( talk) 03:45, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
Is that English pronunciation actually correct? I thought it would have been more like [mɜːz], which is a pretty close approximation of the French using English sounds. Kannan91 ( talk) 15:08, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Is there any reason why this article should not be titled Meuse River? IMHO ( talk) 20:34, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move. However, incoming links must be fixed before this move is actioned. Ping me or drop a note on my talk page when this has been done and I'll move the articles. Jenks24 ( talk) 12:55, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
– The primary topic is clearly the river. The Meuse is one of Europe's major waterways, flowing through 3 countries before entering the North Sea. It is also notable for its role in the First World War, e.g. the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. By contrast, the French department is far less well known and, in any case named after the river. This move would be in line with other departments named after the Moselle, Ardennes and Vosges and follows the convention for disambiguating French departments. Bermicourt ( talk) 16:01, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
I've moved Meuse to Meuse (department) in order to start sorting the links. However, there are a large number of, mainly communes, that use the link Meuse in the infobox and lede in a formulaic way and all of them need to be changed. Is there a simple bot that can do this? Otherwise it'll take days. Bermicourt ( talk) 20:08, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Should I list the books and other suchlike wherefrom the aforesaid “Maaslewis”and “Meighslewis” (and lesserly “Mewsslewiss” and “Mawslewis”) British firstnames are byworded and more? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:9C97:5D01:3D6F:1D5C:17EA:E2E6 ( talk) 12:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
