Talk:Dad Vail Regatta

message: OK, I added a definition of what the regatta actually is, but the volume of text is still very skewed toward Dad Vail, the man. Maybe he deserves his own entry?BillFlis 00:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, the article as it stands right now is more focoused on Vail then it is on the Regatta, which basicaly is a passing mention. I would tak the third para on down, and move it to a seperate article so it can get a better work out their. Then expand the current arrticle so that it is more about the regatte then the man, poss put an expansion tag on it and request up, see if cant get more ppl to look at the article. --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 04:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Well, I edited it, don't know what you mean by "expansion tag and request up" (newbie here!)BillFlis 11:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well being that your fairly new here i'll take care of it, but basicaly their is a section that you can place pages in to request addational help to expand the article, it's like an in site advert. --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 04:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does the result chart only go back to '82 and why isn't it fully filled in? Were there no other races those years? I doubt that. Shouldn't the history of winners be in the dad vails program? I have one from 2006 I'll check later. If someone else knows the results Fill it in.Ocoufnoc 17:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Well, you didn't even sign your own contribution! And where did you get the idea that anybody was discussing the subject and not the article? I take issue with that. And what's the idea of putting your contribution at the very top of the article, like it's the most important thing? Here, I'm going to arrange things chronologically as they were added here.--BillFlis (talk) 11:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Talk?

message: Category question: Should the category say "Recurring events established in 1934" or another year? An expert editor on this subject should decide and add the category. The article says the regatta turned 70 in 2008, a confusing statement for the starting date. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:21, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Category question 

message: Using Premier League as a guide, shouldn't this page retain its original title of Dad Vail Regatta while also clearly mentioning the event is currently sponsored?
To be clear, I'm not at all against mentioning the sponsor, but unless they promised to sponsor this forever, shouldn't the event keep its unsponsored title as far as Wiki pages go?
