Boat Race

 * this has a "see also" of List of Cambridge University Boat Race crews and suggests that "the only person to row for three years at the University Boat Race which had Cambridge College compete against University of Oxford". Is this a different "University Boat Race" to The Boat Race?  I'm confused by this.  The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 21:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. I didn't add the See Also section. SL93 (talk) 21:17, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * did you add "the only person to row for three years at the University Boat Race which had Cambridge College compete against University of Oxford".? What does the source say?  The University Boat Race is not between "Cambridge College" and Oxford.  I don't want to tag this article before tomorrow's run at DYK but this is clearly incorrect at the moment.

 * According to The Boat Race 1875, The Boat Race 1876, and The Boat Race 1877 it was. SL93 (talk) 21:23, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Not against Cambridge College. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 21:24, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I understand that. I accidentally made the mistake because of the word shared word Cambridge. I did have it correct earlier in the article. SL93 (talk) 21:26, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * he also wasn't the only person to row for one of the universities three times. For example Herbert Rhodes did it the same years.  The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 21:33, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * and Egan, Penrose, Williams etc etc all did it before Brooks Close got in a boat... The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 21:35, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I went back to the reference (I will so have multiple late fees) and it says "one of a few". I just removed that part of the sentence entirely. SL93 (talk) 21:40, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Cool. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 21:41, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know of the issues. SL93 (talk) 21:42, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries. The Boat Race is something I have a passing interest in........ The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 21:43, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
