the Oregon page says they are a tie, can someone check this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.247.44.163 ( talk • contribs) 15:17, September 29, 2005
The ongoing dispute over whether the Roe River or the D River is the world's shortest according to Guinness World Records seems easily resolved. I looked in a 1973 edition of the book, but the rivers section has no shortest or smallest sections—presumably these were added sometime since. Perhaps someone has a newer edition handy?
I also poked around on the website, but couldn't find any entry. There are a few tease entries there, but selling a copy of the book is a major purpose for the website. Lacking that, the wikipedia entry for Guinness World Records claims they are a tie: Perhaps that was Randall's reason for adding it? EncMstr 02:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
The "Oregon" page claims a tie, while both the "D River" and "Roe River" pages state that the Roe River is shorter. However, the "D River" page says that the D River is only 121 feet long, while the "Roe River" page says that the Roe River is 201 feet long. Which one is actually right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.212.230.130 ( talk • contribs) 02:56, June 8, 2006
Citation is needed for the length being 120 feet at high tide. I don't have a good source, but everything I've seen indicates an average of 120 feet. I found one reference to the length varying from 58 to 205 feet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcostley ( talk • contribs) 17:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Where does the name "D" come from? The page mentions the name, but not the etymology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidGjam ( talk • contribs) 17:38, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
