Grabbing this one for a review over the weekend. Miyagawa (talk) 13:07, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Ok reviewing now. The first thing that hits me is that the sentences "The reserve race, contested between Oxford's Isis boat and Cambridge's Goldie boat has been held since 1965. It usually takes place on the Tideway, prior to the main Boat Race. It was the first year since 1927 that the race was not covered in full on any of the BBC's national radio networks." makes it sound as if the third sentence is referring to the reserve race. It could do with some clarification (I presume you mean the main race).

Worth linking cox to Coxswain (rowing) the first time it appears (third paragaph of background).

"just one foreign rower in American Tourek." perhaps better as "just one foreign rower in the American, Tourek."

Andy Hall's quote in the reaction section needs to have the central speech marks replaced with apostrophes so that you can have a quote within a quote.

That's the lot - once that's been dealt with then I think this is fine for a GA. Miyagawa (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Addressed each point I think, thanks for the review! The Rambling Man (talk) 11:03, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Great, happy to promote as I believe this now meets the criteria. Miyagawa (talk) 11:05, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
