Talk:Rowing

message: I'm not expert enough to write it myself, but the rowing coverage ought to extend to single-oar stern propulsion aka Yuloh - what used to be called sculling before sport rowing hijacked the term. Tearlach 17:09, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

message: This is the article about non-sporting rowing, but the photo is a sport rowing boat, albeit an old design, and oars.  A different picture would be ideal. 86.21.227.237 (talk) 11:22, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Howard I. Chappelle/Chapelle

message: I added some content on what makes a good rowboat, is a little rough but it is a start.
I would ideally like to add some information on the method of rowing that small boats use and used in coastal areas, and how the oars are much narrower that the oars used by sculls.
Additionally it would be nice to have some more information on classic rowboats. At the moment we have whitehalls, which are a nice boat, but have neglected wherries, dories, cobles, umiaks, curraghs, peapods, skiffs and more. Should this information be on a separate wikipedia rowboat entry?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterMelbourne (talk • contribs) 05:23, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello
I am new to Wikipedia and I am currently working on a project for a class. I noticed that this article could be improved and I will be working over the next 2 weeks on it. I would love to hear from anyone who has any suggestions or concerns. I will be working on it in my sandbox User:NZMKZ/sandbox.rowing before I publish my changes.NZMKZ (talk) 15:53, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Edits  

message: Dear all, 
I have been working with this article for the past few weeks. I reached the section on the design factors and I think it needs major editing. The main issue in this section is that it seems like original research. I tried to find strong sources to link it to but I was not able to (But I Will keep looking). My suggestion is to divide this section up into subsections. This will make it easier for other people to include additional information on more specific design factors (which will make it easier to find sources/ references). 
I made these changes in my sandbox  User:NZMKZ/sandbox.rowing . I will be implementing these changes in the next few days and I would really appreciate it if you give me some feedback so we can reach the best solution possible. NZMKZ (talk) 20:57, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: That section needs many more sources.  The vast proportion of the existing section is unsourced and needs deleting if sources are not provided. It has been tagged as OR for years.  --David Biddulph (talk) 00:42, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major editing suggestion -- implementation soon  

message: Until the arrival of engines, in particular the outboard motor, rowing was the major method of moving a small working boat (if only initially, before hoisting sails). Ideally the article would have an image of a working boat being moved under oar. It is possible to find naval vessels propelled by oar, but the vast number of civilian, non-pleasure boats are unrepresented. I have tried to find a usable (copyright) picture, but with no success. Do other editors know of an example? ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 07:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture needed 

message: The section describing Whitehall rowing seems to be simple advertising, or at least an unbalanced inclusion in this page. <brf>If it isn't advertising, then there are countless other types of rowing boats which would be similarly noteworthy. 
I propose that EITHER this section should be eliminated from this page OR new sections should be included for every other type of rowing boat. 
I would also suggest that the page Whitehall_rowboat needs a similar review. 78.114.97.77 (talk) 19:18, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
