Talk:Harvard–Yale Regatta

message: Surely "longer" should be in the context of the distance of the race rather than the finishing time? On this basis, The Boat Race is the longer race by 374 yards. Finishing times vary by huge amounts depending on stream, tides etc. --ukexpat 17:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Longer than the Boat Race? 

message: It is not clear that any of the trophies awarded for the Yale-Harvard Regatta are notable enough alone to merit articles. They would likely be better served by subsections of the main regatta article. CharlusIngus (talk) 00:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge in James P Snider Cup 

message: Why does Yale have a slightly longer race time than Harvard, but Yale shows as winning?  Typo?  Transposed times?  69.76.177.72 (talk) 09:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  Two years later. User:99.40.113.250 did then revise ten of the listed times including one for 1903, with edit summary "Updated 1876 to 1903 (not including 1896-1898)". That did not "fix" the 1903 discrepancy, only changed its magnitude. Today I added an explanatory footnote  on the discrepancy, Harvard–Yale Regatta#Notes. --P64 (talk) 23:43, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

text: This year's print program lists the times as 20:29.6 (H), 20:19.8 (Y) for the 1903 race. Polygeminus grex (talk) 20:41, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  1903 Race Times 

message: Today I added a Harvard University Boat Club source via Internet Archive (ref name=HUBCdata). I reconciled our listed Times for 1852 to 1906 with that source, hiding the previous listings in WP:COMMENTs. Thus I made ten changes in the varsity race Time fields, all from 1876 to 1903. Evidently those changes undo ten changes made by another editor two years ago (2011-04-05 revision). See also the preceding section.
So we know two sources that have been used for the main table (varsity race results) 1852 to 1903, and one source 1904–1906. --now named [ref name=HUBCdata]; [ref name=almanac]
I wrote up one other online source previously identified here (Note #8) as the formal [ref name=row2k. Its scope is 1997 to date. I did not check that it does support our listings.
For year 2010 only we have another formal reference, [ref name=Yale2010].
None of those four sources, presently Refs #7 to #10, covers any results between 1906 and 1997. --unless User:99... misdescribed [ref name=almanac] which I have not seen; see preceding section
--P64 (talk) 00:04, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I expanded the varsity table --especially between 1930 and 1954-- using another Harvard source, [ref name=150yrs]. And inserted some comments with the same source. --P64 (talk) 18:11, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

text: This is source is identical to [ref name=veneziano] except that it has been augmented: the first paragraph (in italics) and the last 1-1/2 paragraphs (from "Yale returned to the winner’s circle in 1996 ..."). --P64 (talk) 20:01, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

text: I have done extensive work to flush out this table. Data was drawn from primary drawn from this year's 149th regatta program. Much of it was also in the "150yrs" reference but not carried over yet. Polygeminus grex (talk) 05:46, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Results data 

message: Two months ago James P. Snider Cup was merged with this article by import of two paragraphs which remain in section Cups and this table which I deleted as redundant.

The "Exhibit" field is my talk page addition showing the team-name displays that are used in this article. The "Winner" background colors may be superior. --P64 (talk) 18:40, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: School colors are perhaps the best option. Those are #A51C30 and #0F4D92. Polygeminus grex (talk) 05:41, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
