 * Symbol question.svg Nice work. Date and size check out; image is Commons and appropriatly licensed; AGF on Croatian sources. However, I have to quibble with the hook. Both the D River and Roe River have in the past been certified by Guinness as being the world's shortest river; while Guinness no longer certifies such a record and both rivers are longer, the Reprua River is both named as a river and 12 m shorter. Perhaps changing the hook and article to "...claimed to be the shortest..." might work? - The Bushranger One ping only 23:38, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * That would also be a fine solution. The claim of the shortest one did come verbatim from a RS, but I can appreciate that it may not necessarily be a thoroughly researched claim. Therefore I'm proposing ALT1 as suggested.--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:56, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
