This article was better before it got so big and dense with unreferenced material

It has so much stuff that is unreferenced that it seems like too much to clean up. Where did it all come from? It is an article that is supposed to be about a river delta but hardly any of it is about that. Mattisse 21:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I feel this article is great just the way it is, and as I come from the region, I can state that there is no spurios information in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.115.175.247 (talk) 11:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article reads more like a tourist brochure than an encyclopedia article. Lots of purple prose surrounding the real information. It should be cleaned up to read more appropriately and to use inline sources as required. Mks113 (talk) 16:44, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it reads like a tourist brochure. It tells about people engaged in fishing but under Fauna it tells nothig about the fishes in the waters.(Xufanc (talk) 05:50, 30 July 2010 (UTC)).[reply]

I also share same sentiments, many published sources I have consulted so far discuss the delta in four distinct parts being the Panhandle, the upper permanent swamps, the lower seasonal swamps and a number of large sandveld tongues and islands. I feel if the author could have approached the article in that way it could have read much more like an article, now it becomes difficult to contribute to it.OtengNkk (talk) 13:07, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

90 million liters

seems to small a number to believeCorvetteZ51 (talk) 08:57, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okavango River discharges 475 m³/s (16,774 ft³/s) (350-1000 m³/s).

Circa 500 * 1,000 * 3,600 * 24 * 365 = 1.5768 × 10 to the power 13, = 15.000.000.000.000 litres per annum. Autodidactyl (talk) 09:53, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i.e. circa 15 cubic kilometres, as per the intro (11 cubic km) Autodidactyl (talk) 16:25, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tsodilo Hills

Mention of conservation issues affecting the Tsodilo Hills was removed because they are not part of the Okavango Delta. The info could be incorporated into the Tsodilo page if desired. The limits of the Okavango Delta can be seen on the UNESCO map at https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1432/multiple=1&unique_number=1976. Gould363 (talk) 21:59, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
