Talk:Head of the River (Australia)

message: This page was moved from Head of the River as I feel it is likely to cause confusion. A rower from the UK or Ireland referring to the Head of the River will be referring to the race on the River Thames in London, which is the more famous race anyway.

thread_title: Page move

message: This article is currently 107kb - which is VERY big, and i think it might be good to split this article into an article for each state race. eg: Head of the River (Western Australia) etc. This race certainly is sufficiently notable within WA, not sure about other states. Some thoughts.... Twenty Years 10:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The article is accurate so there is no reason to change it, if anyone feels that it is unaccurate then they should research it, and update the article themselves, so that it has all the winners. Twenty Years 11:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Since the first NSW AAGPS head of the river took place well before 1926 it seems unlikely that it took its name from the Thames Race. 210.84.46.72 07:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily. Head of the River (New South Wales) says a regatta has been held since 1893, but makes no mention of what its name was. So, as yet, we have no information as to when it was called "Head of the River" - it may well have adopted that name after 1926. Pdfpdf (talk) 22:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

text: For example, the SA regatta has "always" been called "the Head of the River", but that has never been its official name.Pdfpdf (talk) 22:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Chronology of use of the "Head of the River" name?

message: I'm creating I've created a new page for the HOSG (Victoria) because at the moment the Head of the River (Victoria) page is a total mess. These two races are completely different and can't be lumped onto the same wiki page - they both deserve a seperate encyclopedia entry. Since 1981, girls have also competed in the Head of the River, and as more schools become co-ed, (though some never will) it has become an important race. Sorry to split things up yet again, but I think it's important to. Narcissus1x (talk) 06:19, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
