message: This list could become huge if we include every rowing club. Should we limit it to clubs with Wiki articles? Richard B 19:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Category for inclusion

message: I've been adding a lot of these to Wikipedia Commons, the central library for Wikimedia projects. If you make any more blades, could you possibly upload them to Commons instead of to English-lang Wikipedia? That way we don't end up with duplicates, and all the different language Wikipedias can use them. (There's no difference in using a Commons pic - it just gets called from a different place.) That would be great. Cheers, JackyR | Talk 20:13, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  SO this is where they come from! 

message: Very surprised to see my old site linked to from this page. For what it worth - I am prepared to release all content on that site under the GFDL. Gary van der Merwe (Talk) 07:40, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blades from my old site 

message: I've added a bit of help on how the ridge is drawn over here: :Commons:Image:Rowing_Blade_Template.svg. I've also edited the template to include a bunch of comments to help edit it. But when I click on the link, I still get the old version. Please make sure you start with the new version. 
I hope to add more documentation.

thread_title:  Template Documentation 

message: I have created many more blades, but as specified above, they do not fit on these pages, but I think I should mention them here in case articles are written about these clubs. I have made a page of them at User:Jonowatkins/Rowing Blades.  Jono Watkins 23:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  More Blades 

message: On List of rowing blades/School and university
I have made a start in adding which university a college belongs to so the we make it clear. I suspect few users will be familiar with which college is part of Oxford, Cambridge, Durham. I shall complete this in due course but if anyone else has the time, please could you help.
If you add new ones please could you also specify. 
Thanks

thread_title:  UK University Colleges 

message: Would anyone with the skills to make these wonderful blade images mind working on a few requests, namely the University of London, and its member colleges? Grunners (talk) 13:20, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've successfully edited one to make St Leonard's School blades. However, despite instructions I do not find it easy! My wishlist includes the missing blades on Rowing clubs on the River Wear specifically Durham Constabulary Rowing Club, Durham High School for Girls, Sunderland City Rowing Club and Sunderland University Rowing Club. I am more than happy to source an image for each of these so that someone can work on them but I have tried with the first on the list and it's beyoned my editing skills, my software, my time or, indeed, all three. Help please!--Teach46 (talk) 20:14, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blade requests 

message: Wow, it been 5 years since I created the template for this. IcantBeliveHowTimeFlies.  
I've updated the template to work around a rsvg rendering bug that was causing the ridge and loom to render incorrectly. I've also updated all the existing images in Category:SVG_rowing_blades to include this fix. 
I've added some images to :Image:Rowing_Blade_Template.svg#Some_Documentation_of_this_file with points and various useful transforms. I have some other ideas on things that could be documented, and I hope to get to that soon.
It's great to see how Category:SVG_rowing_blades has grown, but alot of those are not on these lists, so I hope to add those soon.
