Proposed adding of "Type of waterfall" column

At the top of current article is a useful explanation of "Type of waterfall", but it is not followed through with data in the table of waterfalls of S.A.

What if the current column other names get replaced with this (more useful) info?

Please give me your thoughts!

The typology is unsourced, so how do we know it wasn't just made up one afternoon by a bored kid? If we can confirm that the typology is widely accepted by reliable sources, I think it could be very useful. Roger (talk) 14:08, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other names can be included as (other name) in the name colomn, so I have not problem with you removing it. Just get reliable sources for the new column you want to insert. --NJR_ZA (talk) 14:45, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The typology is still unsourced. How do we know these descriptive names carry any weight with professional hydrologists/geographers/etc? Roger (talk) 13:04, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
