Possible misleading translation[edit]

I suspect this sentence is misleading, but I want to be sure.

"In this journey, Orellana baptised some of the affluents of the Amazonas like Rio Negro, Napo and Jurua."

In my first reading of this, I took it to be an inelegant way to say that Orellana introduced some of the wealthy residents ("affluents") of the region to Christianity, including three specific regions. On my second reading I don't think this was intended. Does the following sentence capture what the author intended?

"In this journey, Orellana named some of the tributaries of the Amazon River such as the Rio Negro, Napo, and Jurua."

hydropower potential[edit]

he mean flow of Amazonas currently is 200.000m3/s. I guess it was much more in history.

How much Hydropower is that?

Answer: 2GW per 1meter dam.

Consistent capitalization?[edit]

Should it be "Amazon River" or "Amazon river"? The format seems to change throughout the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hatehowobvious (talk • contribs) 17:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
