While I'm procrastinating on harder GA reviews, I'll do another Boat Race one

Lead

Background

[edit]
  • Same problem as before with defining Blues and the 1877 dead heat - might be worth doing all the GA nominations from December as a job lot
    Yep, done and will do. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:47, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "negotiate side-by-side rowing throw the same arch without fouling" - do you mean "through" instead of "throw"? Also, it fouling the same as found in foul (sports)?
    Yes and yes. Fixed and linked. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:47, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Cambridge's crew contained three former Blues, including the Cambridge University Boat Club" .... "Oxford saw six rowers return to the crew, including the Oxford University Boat Club" - I wonder if, to avoid repetition, we could drop the "Cambridge" and "Oxford" from the boat club descriptions, or would that make it confusing with two links the same? Decisions, decisions.
    Piped somewhat. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:47, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
