"The 3,540-kilometre-long river (2,200 mi)": Cannot be true! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.219.150.245 ( talk) 18:03, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
The article states that the Zambezi is the 'largest' to flow into the Indian Ocean. I'm not sure what largest means here. If it means longest, this seems to be correct. But if it refers to average annual discharge, surely the Ganges River is larger?

I suggest that, for the sake of consistensy, we use the spelling Zambezi (most used English spelling) instead of Zambesi. -- Ezeu 19:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I also Think thats right to use the right spelling cause everyone always gets mixed up!!!
Is this a BrE vs AmE issue? -- Oliver Rawdon ( talk) 22:08, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Britannica states that the river rises near Kalene Hill. On the map Kalene Hill looks much closer to the sources than Mwinilunga, which is situated some 70 km southward, on West Lunga river (tributary of Zambezi). There is no info about Kalene Hill in the Wikipedia. Verdi1 16:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Are you aloud to change the web page cause everytime I try I always end up stuffing up my computer cause im a geogilist xoxo Evie Witerfild —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.16.214 ( talk) 00:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I suggest that the paragraphs on the tributaries be replaced by links to articles on each of those rivers, and details all be transferred to those pages. The article is quite long already, and could do with a few comments on the Zambezi basin as a whole and on the palaeogeographical history of the river. Does anyone object?

The figure given here was 7000 m³/s which is found in other references such as MSN Encarta and several websites. A figure of 4880 m³/s is given on the Rivers of the Earth website. However I have found two references, both hydrological works, giving figures either side of 3,400 m³/s and so I have amended to this figure and given the references. Possibly the figure of 7000 m³/s is the mean flow rate for March or April, ie when the river is in flood. The same thing happened with the Victoria Falls page - rainy season peak flow rate being used as an average figure. Rexparry sydney 03:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be called the Zambezi River, not just the Zambezi? --I'm an Editor of the wiki citation needed 21:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Actually, there's a New Zealand fashion label named Zambesi. -- Oliver Rawdon ( talk) 22:06, 25 January 2012 (UTC) Oliver Rawdon
Removed the word 'beautiful' and changed 'spectacular' to well-known as it makes it sound like a tourism brochure otherwise.

Tributaries are normally classified as left or right looking downstream, as the tributary article says. So the lists in the infobox are the wrong way around. Babakathy ( talk) 15:10, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
