I found the following issues:

Background

  • "Oxford's boat club president Hector McLean died of typhoid" Link typhoid.
Linked typhoid fever. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Race

  • Add an image of the course.
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do any sources describe the weather conditions?
No, practice conditions are noted, so I've added that. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Who were the pre-race favourites?
I've added a commentary regarding the high regard with which the Cambridge crew were held. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to promote once these issues are addressed. good888 (talk) 14:54, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, as always! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Going to promote to good article class. There is just one more thing I would like you to do and that is to group the two images of Stanley Muttlebury and Guy Nickalls together. good888 (talk) 12:04, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
