We're on Women's Boat Races now! This should be interesting ☠ Jaguar ☠ 21:36, 24 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Initial comments

The lead should be expanded slightly in order to summarise. Like the old Boat Races, who was the umpire? What was the finish time etc?

Umpire is currently unknown, finish time is already there. I'll see what more I can do to this though... The Rambling Man (talk) 12:19, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

"The Women's Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing" - Woman's Boat Race is already linked in the lead, though I have no objection if you want to keep this linked in the Background section

I will thus leave it linked! The Rambling Man (talk) 12:19, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Are Women's Boat Races normally held on the Thames? I checked Women's Boat Race article and couldn't find anything, so it might be worth mentioning if exceptions were made

Until 2015, the majority of the races were held on the River Thames, just at Henley. From 2015 they are also held on the Thames, just on the Tideway. Back in the day, the races were held on The Isis (also the Thames!) and the River Cam. I did think the women's race article had something to this effect in the infobox? The Rambling Man (talk) 12:19, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

"number two Faye Sandford (who was earning her third Blue)" - which Blue?

Added for CUWBC. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:19, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

"and American Apfelbaum" - Apfelbaum's first name is not mentioned here (unlike the others)

Because it's been mentioned in the previous sentence... The Rambling Man (talk) 12:19, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oops, I definitely missed that ☠ Jaguar ☠ 14:51, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

References

According to the toolserver refs 10 and 12 have errors, which is not true...

On hold

Like the other Boat Races, this one is compact and has a shot at becoming GA. All the above issues I could find were minor, so once they're out of the way I'll be happy to promote this. Good luck on the other Women's Boat Races; it's a new era for Wikipedia! ☠ Jaguar ☠ 21:46, 24 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Jaguar. I'll try to get to these comments at lunchtime today! The Rambling Man (talk) 08:05, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Jaguar. I'll tweak the lead a little and otherwise I've responded accordingly. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:19, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Done, lead expanded, I'll keep looking for the umpire... so far so unlucky... The Rambling Man (talk) 12:30, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Close - promoted

Thanks for addressing them, the article has now improved enough to meet the GA criteria. Don't worry about the umpire, I'm sure nobody would mind it being missing from a GA! Good luck on the rest of the Women's Boat Races too, I noticed a few red links? ☠ Jaguar ☠ 14:52, 25 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
