Another boat race GA? Oh go on then

Lead

• Worth saying it was Cambridge's third win in a row here?

  Done. The Rambling Man (talk)

Background

• "Both boat club presidents, Monier-Williams and Edwards-Moss, were unable to row through injury" - I don't suppose we know anything more about this?

  Not according to my sources... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Race

• "allowed Cambridge to reduce the deficit" - maybe "allowed Cambridge to catch up" would be better?

  Not seeing a reason for this other than personal preference. I think what I wrote is just fine. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Summary

• I normally think I'm a hard taskmaster on GA reviews, but I don't think I've done one as short as this. If you keep this up, I'll be able to go through an article top to bottom and say "I can't see absolutely anything wrong or any alternatives - straight pass", which I've never done! Anyway, on hold for now. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:36, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

  Ok, thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

  Ack, forgot about this - anyway, passed. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:48, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
