GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

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)Reply

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    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.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    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)Reply
