 * Comments:


 * Only linking years violates WP:EGG
 * I thought the context of adding "race" after was sufficient. See if I've fixed it... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's enough context. Seattle (talk) 15:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * rowed unsuccessfully for Oxford in the 1959 race before triumphing the following year. I would reword, I don't think one can "row unsuccessfully"
 * Reworded. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * introduced modifications to the starting procedure can you be more specific?
 * Added more. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Sean Bowden was head coach of Oxford is that a false title?
 * added "the". The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * They passed the finishing post three lengths ahead, with an eleven-second advantage over the Dark Blues, in a time of 16 minutes 41 seconds, a time only bettered once before, in 1998. Staggered sentence by all of the commas. The infobox gives the lead at 3.5 lengths, while the text gives 3
 * Rephrased. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * If the time was the second-best in the history of the event, I think that deserves a mention in the lead.
 * Added mention. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The record reserve race time should be mentioned in the lead.
 * Added. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

OK. Seattle (talk) 13:47, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
