This is my twentieth Boat Race article review...

Much appreciated. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Lead section

• I would suggest expanding this lead by adding the overall record like in other articles.

  Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Background

• They improved and were considered by Drinkwater to be "by no means a bad crew, though deficient in length and watermanship". First mention of Drinkwater. Add that Drinkwater is an author and a former Oxford rower.

  Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

• "Both crews weight an average of 12 st 1.5 lb (76.7 kg)." Change weight to weighed.

  Done, and sorry for the sloppy writing. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Race

• "While the weather was fine, a westerly wind made for rough conditions between Hammersmith Bridge and Barnes Bridge." Source?

  Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

And that's all I can find. I will promote once the issues above are addressed. good888 (talk) 09:31, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Once again, thanks for the review and your ongoing support for this mini-project of mine to provide Wikipedia with at least 161 better articles than it had April last year! I would wish for more people like you to help improve Wikipedia! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

No problem. Promoting to GA class. good888 (talk) 09:41, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
