The Rambling Man, I've completed my review and re-review of your article, and it meets all the criteria for Good Article status. I do however have a few comments that need to be addressed prior to its passage. -- Caponer (talk) 17:07, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   Pass/Fail:

Lede

• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede properly summarizes content from all sections of the article.
• I suggest adding to the lead that the victory by Cambridge was the fastest winning time since the 1911 race and the second fastest time in the history of the event.
• The lede is otherwise written well, its contents are internally-cited and verifiable, and I have no further comments, questions, or suggestions.

Background

• The caricature of Harcourt Gilbey Gold has been released into the public domain and is therefore available for use here.
• This section is written well, its contents are internally-cited and verifiable, and I have no further comments, questions, or suggestions.

Crews

• Following this article's passage, I suggest keeping an eye open for an image of one of the crew members to be placed to the right of the table.
• The table is beautifully formatted and all its contents are sourced by inline citations.
• This section is written well, its contents are internally-cited and verifiable, and I have no further comments, questions, or suggestions.

Race

• The Championship Course map product is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and is therefore free to use here.
• This section is written well, its contents are internally-cited and verifiable, and I have no further comments, questions, or suggestions.

Thanks Caponer, for the review and for all you support so far. I believe I've addressed the one issue you noted above, and will take heed of the suggestion regarding images. Ideally I can source images of all these people at some point, but that's not as easy as it sounds...! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

The Rambling Man, thank you for addressing my comments. It is hereby my privilege to pass this article to Good Article status. -- Caponer (talk) 23:12, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
