The Boat Races
I think it is amazing that you have been doing all this great work on the Boat Race. The Boat Race 1994 ref 7 is broken and I could not fix it. I hope you keep it up, it is a testament to Misplaced Pages's coverage and ability to go beyond mere stats on historic events of this nature. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:52, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Chris. The Boat Race official website has changed all of its URLs in the past month or two to take into account that the women's race will happen on the Thames on the same day as the main race and the reserves. I've fixed the one you noted, I have a "note to self" to fix all the others when I get the energy! I had requested a bot but nothing doing so far. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:04, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
I, too, just want to thank you for your Boat Race work. I hope you meet your goal! ---Another Believer (Talk) 06:06, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

This article was AfDd three times in quick succession in 2009, shortly after it was created. I think we've now got stronger attitudes to BLP1E. Strongly inclined to nom for merge to that year's BGT article. Views? --Dweller (talk) 10:08, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's certainly a case of notable for one thing and one thing only.... and even that was rubbish. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:12, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
