Men's teams para has JL as "6 ft 8 1⁄2 in", not supported by the cite (the table has "6 ft 10 in"). Not my field, though. Davidships (talk) 22:55, 24 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Some of the text of this article was derived from the The Boat Races 2017 article at this revision. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:48, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Moving page to "The Boat Races 2018", as the 2014, 15, 16 & 17 races are titled like this. I have tried moving it to the new one but it has been moved back almost immediately twice.

As you've been told, and as noted in the move summary, the official name this year was changed to The Boat Race. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:37, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Olly - As can be seen here this year the "S" was dropped ..... We don't have the same article titles "just because they were like this last year" - If they drop the S then we follow suit .... So as such I would advise you stop moving the article otherwise you could end up permanently excluded from this place. –Davey2010^Talk 14:18, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I am in agreement with The Rambling Man and Davey2010. Olly, before making moves like this in the future, you need to establish a consensus for them, and certainly after your edits have been reverted, it is necessary to discuss them rather than just doing the same thing again. — Bilorv_(c)(talk) 20:32, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
