Today's boat race

Lead

 * I don't think I've picked up on this before, but in the infobox, is "2 and 1/2 lengths" a good way of writing it, or would "2½ lengths" be better?
 * Horses for courses really, I'll change this if you like. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2015 (UTC)


 * A little extra detail about the highlights of this raise, such as Cambridge's coach changes and the leader changing from Oxford to Cambridge and back again would be nice
 * Added some more. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Background

 * Same issue as before re defining the Blues and wikilinking the 1877 dead heat
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Race

 * "There was fine weather, the tide was moderate, and the race commenced at 12.26pm." - might be easier to say "The race started at 12.26pm in fine weather with a moderate tide"
 * Reworded. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * "Although the Cambridge stroke Pitman" - as this is the first mention in prose, his full name (or at least as much as the sources supply) should be used
 * Frederick added. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Summary

 * That's it - on hold. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:32, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Muchos gracias. I've responded and addressed the comments per usual.  The Rambling Man (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That's all good, so I'll pass it now - another one in the bag. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:37, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
