Riverboarding
Thanks for your contribution to the riverboarding article. I've edited it a little it so as to better reflect your status as a riverboarding originator and pioneer. Shawn in Montreal 17:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Carlson, I did not delete your images and I'm very sorry they were removed. When you posted them to Wikipedia, did you remember to click on the tag that says you are the author and you release them, etc.? If you did, then this will satisfy the photo rights people who patrol these things. Are for questioning your existence, I did write you above to apologize for momentarily not grasping who you are. "Far from denying your existence," I then went on to revise the article to ENHANCE your status as the riverboarding pioneer. I'd be very happy if you could reupload your images, remembering this time to select a photo rights tag. I'm no expert but I'll walk you through it if you have any questions. And please continue to make additions to the Riverboarding article as you see fit. Shawn in Montreal 19:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Question
Robert Carlson,

Shawn in Montreal brought to my attention the problems with the Riverboarding images. Were these photographs taken by a person, or by a machine? Thanks, – Quadell (talk) (random) 19:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. These are action photos taken at various positions on a white water river so I think it's highly unlikely that they were taken automatically by machine, but I'll let Robert reply.Shawn in Montreal 20:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
