Happy to review this.

• According to this, the 2003 race was the first to be scheduled on a Sunday. Worth a mention in the background somewhere?
  • Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:45, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
• Sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues" and "Dark Blues" are not covered by the sources.
  • Certainly it's covered by many of the sources, but added more explicitly. Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:45, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
• Ref 1 and 11: Daily Telegraph → The Daily Telegraph
  • Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:45, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
• What is the publish date for Ref 6?
  • Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:45, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
• Ref 15's title "The The victorious Oxford Cox...", remove extra 'The'
  • Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:45, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
• You could add the ratings that BBC One recorded here; would follow the sentence "An estimated 400 million people worldwide watched the event on television" nicely.
  • I would, but that's a subscription link that I can't read. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:45, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
    • Have added it.

No dab or dead links. No problems with the two image licenses. Can't help but feel the lead is somewhat light, but it does cover the most important bits. So will pass once comments have been addressed, on hold till then. Lemonade51 (talk) 19:13, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
