- I'll pick this one up too: again, it may be a day or so before I get going. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 14:39, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Overall Again, nicely put together, and close to GA as it stands. I've made a couple of very small tweaks: nothing too much.
Lead
- A little on the brief side, but it's a short article, and it seems pointless to repeat the who article in the lead!
- I'll see what I can do. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
- "The race, umpired by six-time Boat…" Worth linking "umpired"?
Crews
- "Oxford coach Dan Topolski rated both crews as "good enough to make an Olympic final".": this looks like it's a direct quote from Topolski, but the source doesn't seem to suggest it is.
- Rephrased. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Race description
- "Oxford out-rated Cambridge": it may be worth a footnote to explain what "out-rated" means, for those who may not know.
- Linked to our glossary. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
- No dab or dead links, refs are solid.
Again, minor pickings from me, and no deal-breakers again, just a little tweak here and there. - SchroCat (talk) 19:56, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
- @SchroCat: Thanks again, you're a gent. Have responded and updated accordingly, hopefully by the time you're back I'll have made the lead a bit fatter. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
