Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Moselle — The claim that Ausonius's poem describes 'a journey from Bingen to Trier' is a misleading oversimplification; the poem recounts a journey from Bingen along the Rhine and then up the Moselle to Trier.

Moselle — The highest recorded flood was 11.28 m on 21 December 1993 is incorrect; the widely accepted official maximum is 11.30 m.

Rhône — The length '310 km navigable from Lyon to sea' is incorrect; the navigable section from Lyon to the sea is approximately 330 km.

Rhône — The statement 'After 290 km in Switzerland' is misleading; the Rhône's course within Switzerland is often cited as around 264 km, and 290 km is only accurate if including Lake Geneva without clarification.

Po (river) — The Po is not one of the three Mediterranean rivers with the largest water discharge along with the Rhône and Tiber; the Tiber has significantly lower discharge than the Po, and the third largest is typically the Ebro, not the Tiber.
