Comments:

• File:TylerWinklevoss.jpg needs a personality rights warning, see Commons:Template:Personality rights, other files look OK. No dead links.

  Does that need to be added here or at Commons? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

  • • Commons.

• The lead could use the sentence for the "background" section as other articles have.

• A note on "Dark Blue" vs "Light Blue" would be contextual.

• The lead and "race" section conflict regarding the women's length of victory and the reserve winner.

  Wonky eyes made me look at 2011 results when I was writing the race section. Fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• Can you mention the winning time in the race section? Seattle (talk) 02:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

  I have done that. I'll make sure these comments are addressed across the other GANs you have kindly agreed to review. Thanks again. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• With just two minutes of the race remaining, Oxford were still in touch, but Cambridge inched away from them, passing the finishing post one-and-a-third lengths ahead in a time of 17 minutes 35 seconds.[20][5] I think it's kind of odd to say with just two minutes of the race remaining rather than go by a landmark, it's not a race dependent on time and "two minutes left" fluctuates by year; it's rather indeterminate. Can you give a landmark instead? Also, flip the references.
  • Have re-worked it a little based on one of the other refs, and re-ordered the refs appropriately. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:03, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
