I'll conduct the review of this article. Seattle (talk) 13:42, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • No dead links. Reference seven and reference one appear to be from the same domain; I'm sure there's a reason for the different work parameters.
  • The lead doesn't sufficiently summarize the article. The lead should represent all parts of the article, and now it only represents second paragraph of the "background" section and the last sentence of the "race" section.
  • Cambridge won the toss and elected to start from the Surrey station. Certainly the coin toss deserves a sentence in the "background" section, along with the two possible stations.

That's my review. Some of these comments can transfer to the other Boat Race articles, fix or edit them there as well; it will save some time on both our parts. Seattle (talk) 16:44, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Seattle: Thanks, I've done my best to get to most of these and have commented in-line. Best for us both if we get this and the 2007 article sorted out before you conduct any other reviews. Thanks so much for taking the time and interest to help in reviewing these articles, very much appreciated. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:50, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Seattle: Ok, I've tidied up a little and expanded the lead a touch more. What do you think? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:58, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
