Might as well review the article of the first ever Boat Race!

Lead section
 * Why are there references in the lead?
 * Per WP:WHYCITE, "although such things as quotations [...] should be supported by citations even in the lead." Harrias talk 15:18, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. Good888 (talk) 17:16, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Should the reports that the margin of victory perhaps being between two and four lengths be included in the lead?
 * I could do that, but instead I've added "according to the official record" rather than go into the various margins in the lead. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:36, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Background
 * "and built by Searle of Westminster." Should Westminster be linked?
 * Not a massive issue for me, so yes, linked. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:36, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * "whose name is not recorded." Shouldn't it be "was not recorded"?
 * Sure, done. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:36, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Crews
 * State which seats Oxford's Charles Wordsworth and Cambridge's Charles Merivale occupied in the images.
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:09, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Legacy
 * "It was then held intermittently until 1856" Should The Boat Race 1856 be linked here?
 * Have done this. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:09, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * "As of 2014, 160 Boat Races have been contested" As of 2015 and 161 Boats Races now.
 * Indeed, fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:09, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

References
 * No references are broken for me and I trust you with the subscription ones.

Not many Boat Race articles to go before they are all GA class! Good888 (talk) 19:56, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll get to your comments tomorrow! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:05, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks again, sorry to have taken so long to get back to you, please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to address. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:09, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem. Promoting to GA class. Good888 (talk) 09:14, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
