Additionally put in some work on some champ venues that didn't exist before. Feel free to contribute to this miniproject. (Durham12 10:44, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  World Rowing Championship Succession Boxes 

message: What is the point of naming these like "World Rowing Championships"? So, these are Rowing Championships of a sport called World? More like World Championships of Rowing → Rowing World Championships. Quickly looed at Template:Main world championships, and maybe 1/3 are named like this. Isn't there spelling rule concerning these? 85.217.23.66 (talk) 20:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I propose to split the 1978 World Rowing Championships, taking out the lightweight event. As far as I can see, it's the only time the lightweight champs were held at a different place (and time). The main event was in New Zealand during November. This was preceded by the lightweight event in Denmark in August. Any objections or thoughts? Schwede66 23:01, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Were there rowers (m/w) who medaled in sweep and scull? Who are they? 213.149.51.200 (talk) 20:39, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes.  One obvious example is Elisabeta Lipă.  Another is Katherine Grainger.  Among the men, Greg Searle is one example.  You can doubtless find many more. --David Biddulph (talk) 20:49, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking they could be collected and a table could be made. 213.149.62.160 (talk) 15:26, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not convinced of the value of an incomplete list. --David Biddulph (talk) 20:58, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with David. Either somebody researches a complete list, or we shouldn't have it. Schwede66 21:45, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree as well, this is not really Wikipedia knowledge if it is incomplete. If someone convinces FISA to make their events and athletes database available under CC0 license (or compatible), I’d import all missing athlete profiles (open age competitors of Olympics, World Rowing Champs, European Rowing Champs, and World Rowing Cup) and their results to Wikidata and it would be pretty simple to evaluate statistics like that—and many others. However, given the current situation I cannot do this for legal reasons. —MisterSynergy (talk) 10:06, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

message: What about "Yole de mer" or "Yole de mere" boats? I noticed that some federations held national championships in those between around 1920 and 1955 (male and female ). Did World Rowing held world championships in those? 213.149.62.61 (talk) 16:08, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Some of the top rowers also compete in World Rowing Coastal Championship. Are there any who medaled in both classic and coastal rowing at W Ch? 213.149.62.61 (talk) 18:05, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

message: The all-time medal table is tagged with both "failed verification" and "unreliable source?" tags.  The current figures (to 2019) do not agree with the cited source.  The "unreliable source?" tag points out that the source does not include adaptive events, but it appears that the editors who have done updates to the table for recent years have included adaptive events.  This, for example, presumably explains the fact that the figure for GBR agrees with the source for silver & bronze but is 4 different for gold.  The figures in the table are therefore presumably a hybrid, including adaptive for recent years but not for earlier years.  We had also noted that the source had at least one error (see the edit summary for my recent edit for the bronze figure for JPN).  It would obviously be good if we could find a complete & accurate source to use. --David Biddulph (talk) 21:04, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Hi User:David Biddulph and others, would you concur that it's still worthwhile to write an article for this (now cancelled) event? Schwede66 22:45, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: A brief article to explain the absence wouldn't do any harm. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:42, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The article could also be categorized in :Category:Sports events cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. —MisterSynergy (talk) 12:08, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Germany hosted the event 4 times including west Germany. That is technically correct. However, west Germany is the same nation today referred just as Germany. I understand the today nonexistent nation of of East Germany was meant and the auther mixed west and east up. 80.187.100.209 (talk) 07:44, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
