Reprinted is an email I received:

I realise I may have caused a lot of confusion by using the ID rozsavage.
I am NOT Roz Savage.
Because I have lots of projects, I use a different username for each, choosing one which matches the subject. Likewise I use a variant of my domain for email, which also matches the subject, so that I can sort emails into subjects and filter out spam easily.
My name is Geoff Tomlinson, and I have written the article on Roz Savage because, having heard her speak, and realising that other ocean rowers had an entry, I felt that she deserved one also.
The article is not Autobiographical.
As this is the first time I have contributed to Wikipedia, I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how I can improve the article.
Many Thanks.

Accordingly, I am removing the autobiography tag from the page. —C.Fred (talk) 23:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

At last I have got round to creating a less confusing account name. I am now going to deleting the Rozsavage account so that everything from now on will appear under my own name. Sorry for the confusion. Geoff2DoThat 09:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sole vs solo

In the 'First Leg' section :

...she completed the first leg by finishing the Atlantic Rowing Race as the only sole female competitor...

It seems to me to say she is the only sole competitor is redundant. Maybe the writer meant to say she was the only solo female... —Preceding unsigned comment added by PerroPerdido (talk • contribs) 16:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
