It's not called the "Asi" because it flows away from Mecca. It's called "Asi" or rebel in Arabic because it flows north and not south like most of the other rivers around the world.
Above is almost correct. The river is named "Asi" because it is only the river in the region (as opposed to the world) that flows south to north. Also, the essay needs some improvement in overall writing clarity. -- Farras ( talk) 01:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

In Study in Scarlet, a troopship named Orontes is said to have transported the injured Dr Watson, home from India after he was invalided in Afghanistan. I would be interested to know if such a ship existed or it is fictional. Stranger on the shore ( talk) 10:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

What language is this article written in? Seriously, this article is incomprehensible in English. Stevenmitchell ( talk) 16:43, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
I've moved this article from start to C level status; however, I think a bit of work might move it up to B and then to A level or Good Article levels. Can we do an informal review here about what is missing? Looking at the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Rivers#Article_structure_guidelines, so far
