View source for Wikipedia:WikiProject Rowing/FISA database errors

As with any large database, there are errors. The experience by Wikipedians who have been in touch with the [[International Rowing Federation]] about these (potential) mistakes is that there is sometimes little initiative to address those issues. This page serves as a depository for such potential mistakes, so that interested parties can report errors, or look up whether a potential error is already listed.

==Duplicate entries==
Some rowers appear to be listed under more than one ID. See also: [[:wikidata:Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P2091#"Single value" violations]].

There's an interesting discussion on the [[:de:Benutzer Diskussion:Geher#Elena Horvat|talk page of her German article]].<br>''Update 2020-03-08:'' User:MisterSynergy asked the SR experts and they are meanwhile reasonably convinced that there are two persons. "Elena Horvat" (from 1985 on "Elena Florea") competed 1981–1985 (including the 1984 Olympic gold medal win), and "Elena Oprea" competed 1971–1980 (including two Olympic participations 1976+1980 without medalling). Horvat (-Florea) was born 1958-07-04 as written in most sources; Oprea might have been born 1953-10-05, but this is not that sure; this would mean that she would have been almost 18 years old at her first appearance in 1971.

| Canadian crew<br />German Empire crew
| The Canadians are listed third, although they did not even make it to the second round ([https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1912/ROW/mens-coxed-eights.html sports-reference] for this event); the German Empire crew, typically regarded as Bronze medallists without time, are listed forth instead.

| British pair
| [[Cyril Southgate]] (also "[[Thomas Southgate]]") and [[Cecil Killick]] (also "[[Gordon Killick]]") did not start in the final (story at [https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1924/ROW/mens-coxless-pairs.html sports-reference]); the event result page correctly mentions this, but the profiles nevertheless rank them third in the final ([http://www.worldrowing.com/athletes/athlete/27701/results/ Southgate] and [http://www.worldrowing.com/athletes/athlete/27599/results/killick-cecil Killick])

| Bulgarian team
| It is unclear who competed in the Bulgarian team. [https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/countries/BUL/summer/1988/ROW/ sports-reference] has a list of crew members, of which [[Dimitar Tonchev]] ([https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/to/dimitar-tonchev-1.html sports-reference], [http://www.worldrowing.com/athletes/athlete/34764/tonchev-dimitar FISA]) does not appear in the event at FISA. Instead, "Juri Georgiev" ([http://www.worldrowing.com/athletes/athlete/37659/georgiev-juri 37659]) and "Dimitar Georgiev" ([http://www.worldrowing.com/athletes/athlete/3740/georgiev-dimitar 3740]) are listed (there are ten crew members given in the FISA entries section, and in the results section cox [[Ventseslav Kanchev]], [https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ka/ventseslav-kanchev-1.html sports-reference] and [http://www.worldrowing.com/athletes/athlete/26666/kanchev-ventsislav 26666], is missing.

|-
| 1975 WRCH M4x
| The whole M4x event is missing from the database. It appears that those rowers who only medalled in that event are also missing from the database (examples: [[Stefan Weiße]], [[Christof Kreuziger]]). Update: Kreuziger is listed as {{FISA | 5967 | Christof KREUZINGER}}, and Weiße presumably as {{FISA | 11797 | Stephan WEISE}} (empty profile)
|-
| [http://www.worldrowing.com/events/1981-world-championships/mens-pair/ 1981 WRCH M2-]
| The event is in the database, but there are no rowers linked; Both A and B final are listed with the same crews, which seem to be B finalists; the rower profiles of the A finalists appear empty for this event (example: [http://www.worldrowing.com/athletes/athlete/8627/results/pimenov-nikolai Nikolai Pimenov, 8627])
|-

| The regatta (mostly) lists RUS as a participating nation but that should be URS.
|-

| 1995 World Rowing Cup II regatta (in Paris)
| There is [http://www.worldrowing.com/events/1995-worldcup-4/ 1995 World Rowing Cup IV] containing results (although it was the second World Cup of that year), and an empty [http://www.worldrowing.com/events/1995-worldcup-2/ 1995 World Rowing Cup II] regatta. The fourth regatta of that season was in [http://www.worldrowing.com/events/1995-worldcup-4-final/ Lucerne].
|-
| 2003 WRCH LTAM4+
| There was an "LTAM4+" event at the 2003 WRCH that was different from the LTAMix4+ event. However, FISA lists them as one event at [http://www.worldrowing.com/events/2003-adaptive-world-rowing-championships/lta-mixed-coxed-quadruple-sculls/ here], with the LTAM4+ as the B final of the LTAMix4+. It seems that the LTAM4+ event was only held once, and it could have been a demo event.
