Reviewer: Taylor Trescott (talk · contribs) 23:59, 5 June 2014 (UTC) Hi, The Rambling Man. I'll be glad to review this article. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 23:59, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • No issues with DAB links, but ref #3 is a dead link. (If it's AP shouldn't be too hard to find a mirror)
  • Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having beaten Cambridge by one-and-a-half lengths in the previous year's race. However Cambridge held the overall lead, with 81 victories to Oxford's 77. should be sourced.
  • The ref authors have "Surname, Firstname" and "Firstname Surname" - please be consistent.
  • The Daily Telegraph is the only publisher linked. They should all be

Overall a fine article, fix up these minor qualms and I'll give it a pass. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 00:26, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in The Boat Race 2014[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Boat Race 2014's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "results":

  • From The Boat Race 1836: "Results". theboatrace.org. Retrieved 20 April 2014.
  • From The Boat Race 2003: "Boat Race – Results". theboatrace.org. Retrieved 8 April 2014.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 18:03, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
