Had a look at this article and found the following issues:

Images
 * "Archibald Levin Smith rowed in the four seat for Cambridge." - change to "occupied the four seat."
 * "Edmond Warre rowed at number six for Cambridge." - you mean Oxford?
 * Is it possible you could add an image of the course?
 * I've reorganised the captions, used a different image template, added the course map. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:43, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Race
 * This section could be expanded. For a start state that Cambridge started at the Surrey station. Also, perhaps you could describe weather conditions and who was favourite to win the race as well.
 * I'll work on this right now. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:43, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added a few more sentences to the Race section, along with a footnote describing an anomaly I just found in sources relating to the winning time. I can't find anything in the online source about weather/favourites other than a allusion to "badness of weather" or "mediocrity of crew", which aren't directly addressing your comment.  There may be something in Drinkwater or Burnell but I won't be able to check that until Sunday afternoon.  The Rambling Man (talk) 11:15, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

I will promote to GA class if these issues are addressed. good888 (talk) 10:03, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, much appreciated. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:43, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Nice job! Going to promote this to GA class now. Fingers crossed that you will find more infomation in those two books! good888 (talk) 12:04, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
