I'll conduct the review of this article. Seattle (talk) 13:41, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

• Files check out in terms of copyright, no dead links.

  Splendid, ta. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• Should the overall record be displayed in the infobox?

  Should, now does. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• In "Race": Earlier, Oxford won the 61st Women's Boat Race by half-a-length in a time of 5 minutes 54 seconds. In lead: Cambridge won the Women's Boat Race. Infobox affirms Cambridge too.

  Turns out the "Race" section was correct. Aligned. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• A sentence or note on Dark Blue v Light Blue would be contextual.

  Added. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• shelter from the inclement conditions. Is there anything more on the weather you could add?

  A little, have done. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• Reference three the publisher is "The Boat Race Company Ltd." while the extended "The Boat Race Company Limited" is used throughout similar references.

  Aligned. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

As a final note I'd say to slow down a bit and be careful to ensure the infobox and text both display the correct information, just be pedantic. Otherwise, a great article. Much smoother. Seattle (talk) 14:27, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• @Seattle: Agreed, I'll do my best to re-check all this things before any further nominations. Sorry to have wasted your time on those trivialities. Thanks for the review. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• Certainly not a waste of time. I re-read and offer the following: the Boat Race, won the race by five lengths. The race.... A reword here would work well to avoid so many instances of "race" in such a short period. Otherwise, it looks good. Thanks for the prompt responses. Seattle (talk) 17:54, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Re-worked, and thanks. Having some trouble seeing the wood from the trees sometimes! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:04, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
