I'm not sure I understand the pattern of bolding in the table of settlements? Also, MOS:BOLD? -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 11:19, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
I encountered this version of the tributaries table, which was collapsed (probably contrary to MOS, but I don't feel like searching for that rule), possibly because it was so huge and complex. Since I spent quite some time trying the parse the information in it, I decided to spend some time on simplification: the result was this. Now, apart from county/region information (which I find superfluous -- this article should focus on physical geography, not on administrative divisions), I don't see that I erased anything relevant. The left/right side tributary is still present, and the fact that some rivers are in one country or another, or their border, is in the first column, "Country". Am I missing something? No such user ( talk)
(As a reminder to myself or whoever else wants to tackle this): We need a section on environmental issues and ecology, to summarize the environmental risks, water quality and pollutants, notable accidents in the past (if any), and protected areas such as Ramsar sites. Sources: [1] [2] [3]. No such user ( talk) 09:24, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
Panonia is the exact location of what lies directly left of the Sava within a certain vast region. That however is part of Central Europe. So in light of mentioning Balkan for the territory to the right (officially Southeastern Europe), it is better to state Central Europe on its own.

Reviewer: Royroydeb ( talk · contribs) 13:58, 26 September 2013 (UTC) Well not much to say about the article as it passes the GA criteria, but there are some fixes to be done.First and foremost the lead section is without any references.The userbox also contains some dead links.Hope you improve these first.

Novo mesto (Slovenia): river Sava doesn't flow through Novo mesto. River Krka does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.103.64.12 ( talk) 07:16, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Please note that recent edits of Sava article violated several Wikipedia policies and might be construed as disruptive since my previous edit reverting repeated links and pointing to WP:OVERLINK through the edit summary was not only ignored but promptly reverted in what might be interpreted as edit-warring.
First, WP:OVERLINK defines that all terms which may be reasonably linked be linked at their first occurrence in the lead (per WP:LEAD) and only once again in the rest of the article, at the first instance of the term. If one is interested in a linked term the reader is more likely to access it at the first mention anyway. Second, WP:REDLINK clearly says that items meeting WP:GNG are meant to be linked even if there is no article on the topic as encouragement for editors to develop the topic. Finally, if one makes an edit, and another person reverts it (with a reasonable explanation provided in the edit summary, not condescending retorts currently found in Sava article history) the proper way to go is discuss the issue (see WP:BRD), otherwise the action(s) might be interpreted as edit warring which is more than likely to draw admin blocks.
Sava article is a Good article, which means a presumably experienced user has reviewed the article for several aspects (see WP:WIAGA), including placement and redundancy of links. Any editor who dislikes the Wikipedia rules and policies, should take that up on talk page of the respective rule (WP:OVERLINK in this case) and see if consensus can be created for it to change rather than making changes contrary to the current rules.

A 2016 UN report on the management of this river system could be worked into the article. [1] See also. Best wishes. RobbieIanMorrison ( talk) 11:06, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

I have seen that the origin of the river Sava's name is explained or connected with the Proto-Indo-European root. I believe a more recent connection could be made, as in Istria, in some local dialects, the old word for a river is "sava", the smaller ones being called "patok" or "potok". The word "sava" is used as a generic name for a river, any larger river, those that cannot be crossed by walking through them, as is the case with patok. No longer in popular use, as it is preserved in the memories of our grandparents. I am not a linguist, I just wanted to show that there is a possible explanation of a slavic origin of the name of the river, because the word is still alive, with the meaning of "a river". Even for the river Mirna, the word "sava" is used to describe it, for an example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.252.191.227 ( talk) 02:49, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
