Talk:Worrell 1000

Should this still be flagged as part of Wikiproject Rowing? It looks like it is a sailing race and not a rowing race? Boatman 12:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Needs Lots of Work
As a start a simple chart of the years the race was run, the number of competitors and winners would be a great start. Also, two of the three remaining links are dead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroXero (talk • contribs) 22:04, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

OK, I've created a rough template for the races history.

I also suggest removing the "Prizes" section, as it seems to apply only the the 2003 race, which was cancelled.

I also suggest removing the whole section on one of the founders death, though it could be mentioned in the intro, it's not really deserving a whole section, and the article is on the race, it's not a bio of the founder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroXero (talk • contribs) 23:32, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Updated Page
I have updated this to include the changes I suggested, including adding a new table which makes understanding the history of the race at a glance possible.

I had two changes reverted: one was simply removing the note about the founder dying. I don't think this is really OT for the article, and if it is maybe should be under the history section in general. For the time being I've left it as reverted.

The other change was to rename the Winners category to "Race Strategy". The winners category is *not* about the winners. It explicitly says "here is some stuff from people who competed". It does not list the winners, nor is the advice from a team that won.

So, I have reverted this to the more descriptive and factually correct heading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroXero (talk • contribs) 00:19, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
