Many of the rowing articles on wikipedia are lacking inline citations and references. It is wikipedia policy that all articles contain references, so that the information can be verified. Inline citations are not a policy, as so few articles have them, but they are necessary for an article to be raised to 'good' or 'featured' status.

Can all involved please make an effort to add citations to any article they have significantly contributed to, preferably inline. Otherwise, according to wikipedia policy, there is nothing to stop uncited information from being deleted.

You may wish to read or skim through the following policy pages:
