Shall review this.

• Ref 5 newspaper?

Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:55, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

• Wikilink Tim Foster

Lemonade51 Already wikilinked. URDNEXT (talk) 15:59, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

• The 1997 race was the last to be sponsored by Beefeater Gin; perhaps you could incorporate this source somewhere in the background to reflect that. Article was published in The Guardian on 29 May 1997, page 25.

 Done. Sorry to interrupt the review, but I wanted to help get this done. Is that ok with you guys? URDNEXT (talk) 15:53, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

• "...while Oxford were guided by Dutchman René Mijnders, who had led The Netherlands to...", should that be "...who had led the Netherlands to..."?

 Done URDNEXT (talk) 15:57, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

• "Cambridge took Oxford's clear water and passed the finishing post six seconds and two lengths ahead", source doesn't confirm this.

• You might find the Guardian's match report useful. Umpire quotes could be added to beef up the reaction section.

 Done I just added two quotes from the newspaper. How does it look? URDNEXT (talk) 16:20, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

No dab or dead links, no issues with the image license, reliability of refs. Will pass once comments have been addressed. Lemonade51 (talk) 15:36, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:59, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

It was a pleasure helping, gentlemen. I'll be around til the end of the review, in case Rambling needs any help. URDNEXT (talk) 17:00, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Happy with the changes, shall pass. Lemonade51 (talk) 17:21, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
