Talk:Thompson River

Geobox

Just fought with the geobox a little. Finally figured out that in order for mouth info to show up you must enter some source info, even if just a name for the "Source" field. So I added "south-central BC" for the Source, which is a very poor source name I know. The geobox is capable of dealing with multiple source tributaries and in theory could display the source as the North and South confluence at Kamloops, and then have further info on those tributaries and their sources, and so on. But that's more than I can fight with right now. Pfly (talk) 19:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

A little work needed

Right now, I'm making List of crossings of the Thompson River. When I'm done, i'm going to do a little work on this article. First of all, some of it isn't written in a way that is difficult for one to understand. Second, several tributaries, such as the Barriere & the Thunder River are missing entirtely (there are several more I think as well). When I'm done the crossings page I will do a little work on this article & fix it up! AndrewEnns (talk) 16:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
