The Rowers of Vanity Fair
I just wanted to check what this is. Is it an Annotated text? Or is it the source text? Also, are you sure it is a textbook? – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 23:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Mike, it's annotated text and images constituting a specialty history book. The structure is: (a) the original image (caricature / portrait) from Vanity Fair (1868 - 1914), (b) the corresponding biography that appeared in Vanity Fair alongside the text (shown here in italics adjacent to the image), (c) supplemental text by me (or other Wiki folks who emerge) to round out the biography, (d) additional text and images from Vanity Fair or another historic source, in either case related to the person or time period involved, and (e) chapter introductions, in the sense of providing an overview (from a rowing history vantage) of developments over a particular time period (e.g. 1839 - 1854, 1855 - 1872). Hope this helps. Wat Bradford
 * Sounds good; keep it up. You may have noticed on Special:Watchlist a notice about a proposal regarding rollbacker and patroller rights; you may want to weigh in, as you've been a good editor that's appeared on RC and newpages quite a bit. Your input is welcome if you care to comment. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 17:19, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

You missed a license tag for Image:Muttlebury SD Vanity Fair 1890-03-22.jpg :) – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 00:41, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Mike, thanks for the catch.  Think it's fixed now.  Wat Bradford (talk) 08:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Antipodean connection
In the early 1890s Warre organised the donation of the Oxford and Cambridge Cup for Eight Oared races between Australian Universities. Both Melbourne and Adelaide University Boat Club captains were old Etonians. Is it appropriate to mention it in this wiki-book The Rowers of Vanity Fair? 58.160.169.189 (talk)Daren

Daren, apologies for being so late in replying. You're welcome to add this connection if you'd like. If it's explained in Melbourne and/or Adelaide rowing web sites or Wikis, then the connection can be made by adding it as an external site reference to the Warre entry in The Rowers of Vanity Fair.
