Lede
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede should be a summary of all the article's sections and subsections. I suggest adding reworked versions of the following content:
- From "Crews": The Cambridge crew weighed an average of 12 st 2.875 lb (77.3 kg), 1.875 pounds (0.9 kg) per rower more than their opponents. If this is too much, then you can mention how many crew members returned from previous races on each crew.
- Expanded a touch. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:12, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Background
- All content in this section is sourced and verifiable. The caricature also works well in this section. It is adequately represented in the lede.

Crews
- I suggest resizing and stacking the two images to the right of the table; or just resize them and leave them next to one another to all for more table space.
- I think it depends on your resolution, I tend to look it at it in low res (e.g. 800 horizontal pixels) and high (e.g. 1920 horizontal pixels), and I see no real issue with either. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:12, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
- The table is sourced and all its content is verifiable.

The Rambling Man, I've completed this review. This article is quite comprehensive and well written, and I commend you on expanding the lede compared to previous Boat Race articles. I've made a few suggestions above. Once everything has been addressed, I feel comfortable passing this to Good Article status. -- Caponer (talk) 17:26, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've responded in-line above, thanks again for your interest. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:12, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
- The Rambling Man, thank you for your swift addressing of all the above comments and questions. I expanded my Safari window a bit and the images fit snugly between the table and the right margin so all is well. Congratulations on a job well done, sir. -- Caponer (talk) 21:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
