I'll review this one as well. It be good to clear the long list of boat race nominations. NickGibson3900 - Talk - Sign my Guestbook

@ Comments from :
 * 1) In the lead I think "Cambridge" should be "University of Cambridge" because if you didn't know the history you might not know it was between universities.
 * Have expanded the lead to hopefully cover this. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Once again the section "race" should be "races"
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) In the lead it says it says "the first in 11 years" implying that Oxford had one the last 10 races but it says in the "background" section that Oxford had one 10 out of the last 11. If they both are correct than the "background" section should say "have one the last 10" not 10 out of 11. If they are not both correct you need to change it. Note: The quotes I have given above are not correct, just a summary of what is said.
 * Confusion removed. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Is that absolutely no pictures of this race? Pictures do help in these articles.
 * No, none. I've searched Commons and Flickr.  We need people to upload their own photographs of the race as there'd be no justification for fair use here. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Refs 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13,4 all have no link to anything more specific than the overall newspaper website. Does that mean you expect the reader to find the actual edition of the newspaper. A link to the actual edition would be good or even better if their is a computer version of the stories straight to that.
 * Yes, an online link would be great, but that's not going to happen. These sources are real and are analagous to having (subscription required) because you'd need something like a ProQuest or BNA account. Think of them as you would a reference in a book that you'd need to visit the library to read. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) More on the women's and reserve's race would help.
 * There is nothing more I can find. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. Responses inline. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * @ OK, I believe all problems have been addressed sufficiently or explained by TRM. Passing this article. Well Done.
