This is my twentieth Boat Race article review...

Much appreciated. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Lead section

I would suggest expanding this lead by adding the overall record like in other articles.
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Background

They improved and were considered by Drinkwater to be "by no means a bad crew, though deficient in length and watermanship". First mention of Drinkwater. Add that Drinkwater is an author and a former Oxford rower.
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
"Both crews weight an average of 12 st 1.5 lb (76.7 kg)." Change weight to weighed.
Done, and sorry for the sloppy writing. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Race

"While the weather was fine, a westerly wind made for rough conditions between Hammersmith Bridge and Barnes Bridge." Source?
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

And that's all I can find. I will promote once the issues above are addressed. good888 (talk) 09:31, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Once again, thanks for the review and your ongoing support for this mini-project of mine to provide Wikipedia with at least 161 better articles than it had April last year! I would wish for more people like you to help improve Wikipedia! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

No problem. Promoting to GA class. good888 (talk) 09:41, 9 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
