Scope vs Title

[edit]

The Congo-Nile divide is the continental divide that separates the Congo and Nile basins. It starts in Tanzania south of Lake Victoria, runs west then north through Burundi and Rwanda, crosses the Albertine rift and continues north to Lake Albert, then runs northwest along the CAR-South Sudan border until it meets the Chad Basin. It is not much more than a line on the map, since it spans quite different geological and geographical areas. This article could be expanded to cover the full length of the divide. Alternatively, which I think would better, it could be moved to a title like Congo-Nile Divide (Rwanda-Burundi) and a new article started that outlined the sections of the full divide. I would be glad to help on either. Comments? Aymatth2 (talk) 17:46, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I think that would be the best thing. Feel free to do what you want with it. I was considering asking you if you'd be interested in collaborating with it anyway but you've seemed busy of late.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 18:12, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map

[edit]

This article desperately needs a map, preferably one showing the area and (another?) showing the watershed divide. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:50, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See below for maps of the two basins, which maybe could be shown side by side until we get a composite one:

You can see the common boundary from west of Lake Victoria up to the western border of South Sudan. Unfortunately these maps do not show the Sudan/South Sudan boundary. The area described is in the extreme south of the divide. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:20, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
