[edit] The Hamsters
Hi, thanks for not reverting the changes. I've removed Slim and Otis' real names on their request. Andy doesn't have any objection to his being used which is why he has his own article and the others don't. I've done so per WP:BLP#People who are relatively unknown. Actually, on this matter I'm on your side and I've tried to persuade them to let me write up more on them but they are intensely private people, especially Slim. He didn't even want me to create a Hamsters article, but as it wasn't me who did so I got away with that one :) --WebHamster 21:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Atlantic Rowing Race
The problem is that Pairs and doubles are different things, a pair is two people using one oar each a double is to people using two oar's each, as from the pictures is the case for these, the use of pair is incorrect else where as on their site they refer to the doubles division[1]. --Nate1481(t/c) 14:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC) P.S. The same boat can often be rigged as a double or a pair. --Nate1481(t/c) 14:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- I am more familiar with inland water rather than ocean rowing, but understood that the terminology was the same (in Britain) for both. I think using the same terminology as the site makes sense, but I do confess to being confused as to what's happening, especially as the boats appear to only have one individual rowing in the photos I've looked through. --Nate1481(t/c) 17:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
