Comments:

File:TylerWinklevoss.jpg needs a personality rights warning, see Commons:Template:Personality rights, other files look OK. No dead links.
Does that need to be added here or at Commons? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- - Commons.

The lead could use the sentence for the "background" section as other articles have.

A note on "Dark Blue" vs "Light Blue" would be contextual.

The lead and "race" section conflict regarding the women's length of victory and the reserve winner.
Wonky eyes made me look at 2011 results when I was writing the race section. Fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you mention the winning time in the race section? Seattle (talk) 02:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have done that. I'll make sure these comments are addressed across the other GANs you have kindly agreed to review. Thanks again. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With just two minutes of the race remaining, Oxford were still in touch, but Cambridge inched away from them, passing the finishing post one-and-a-third lengths ahead in a time of 17 minutes 35 seconds.[20][5] I think it's kind of odd to say with just two minutes of the race remaining rather than go by a landmark, it's not a race dependent on time and "two minutes left" fluctuates by year; it's rather indeterminate. Can you give a landmark instead? Also, flip the references.
- Have re-worked it a little based on one of the other refs, and re-ordered the refs appropriately. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:03, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
