Haven't took one of these in ages... ☯ Jaguar ☯ 14:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

"The 99th Boat Race took place on" - shouldn't this be in bold?
The lead summarises the article well in compliance per WP:LEAD and par with all other Boat Race GAs
"The Times had declared "Oxford the stronger crew" - can the newspaper be linked for a reference?

References

No dead links, and the refs are also formatted correctly

I can hardly believe this myself, but I could find nothing that came against the GA criteria. The points I mentioned above were so minor it could not affect the GAN, so this will have to be an instant pass. This article is also looking like a similar high quality standard to the other Boat Race GAs, so keep up the good work! I'm not sure why the lead doesn't have a bold title, but I'm sure that could be corrected. I look forward to helping you achieve a 100% Boat Race GA rate ☯ Jaguar ☯ 21:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is the shortest review I've ever done, but honestly I can't find anything wrong with it ☯ Jaguar ☯ 21:10, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've addressed the two concerns you noted above! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:14, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
