Better description added

Hi. I'd say such descriptions are not very useful, and especially having country (P17) claim in items we should avoid adding such basic descriptions.

It's not very useful but still way more useful than nothing and it follows the rules of Help:Description. Other information could be added, feel free to make suggestion or to do it yourself.

I don't share your opinion; I'm pretty sure that for geographical objects there must be either a complete description "~object~ in ~country/region~" or nothing [for the moment], as some wrong/incomplete descriptions might still for very long time in this state, while a group of items with missing descriptions is much easier detectable, even involuntarily. Recently I had a related experience when I found a big number (>1000) of items for human settlements of Bosnia and Herzegovina, having French description "ville de Bosnie-Herzégovine" (added back in ~2013 by a bot), which obviously were wrong (I've fixed them). Right now I've found few more remaining bad descriptions from the same series: ,,. This is why I don't agree with these incomplete/temporary descriptions (probably there should be a more wider discussion regarding this). And actually Help:Description says: "One-word descriptions are almost always too ambiguous, and should be avoided."

Ok, I will add the countries.

In progress (BTW, I see that there is around 50 % of the description "river" that weren't added by me and there is some cases of homonyms or duplicates that can't be done with Quick Statements).

Thanks for your efforts. It's great that you're improving now as well some poor & forgotten item descriptions introduced by others in past.
