No dead links, file checks out in terms of copyright.
Splendid, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Can you link "Goldie"?
Yes, have done.  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
steered their boat into a moored barge can you link "barge"?
Funnily enough, I took a look at the article to make sure it was a universal (or near-enough universal) word, and saw American barges and British barges and thought "nah, no need to link", but linked anyway. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Rankov had left the university after completing his studies so it would have no impact on this year's race. perhaps a rewrite here, cut "so" and use a semi-colon. When I first read the sentence I interpreted "so it would have no impact" to mean that he left specifically left so that it wouldn't have an impact on the race.
I've reworded, not exactly as you suggested, but hopefully it's clearer?  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Originally scheduled to take place on the Saturday can you give the month and day here as well?
Yep. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Oxford's crew contained two Canadian brothers (the Evans twins, Mark and Michael), two Australians and an American cox No Americans on the Oxford side
My mistake, the table was incorrect. Aligned with the prose. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Can you find the old record?
I can, I have and I've included it. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
The lead states both crews beat the existing course record. I think Oxford's time should be included in the "race" section if they also broke the record.
Without wishing to repeat the prose, I've added that Oxford finished 12 seconds ahead of Cambridge, so it hints at the answer. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Regarding the race, Hobson's number 5, John Garrett Cambridge's, I prefer?
Sort of fixed it like that. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
That's that. Seattle (talk) 01:48, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Marvellous, thanks once again, all comments addressed and responded to inline above.  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Watch reference 14. Seattle (talk) 13:52, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Good spot, if you mean the incorrect format of the page parameter.  I have that option switched on too, so it was purely an oversight on my behalf, for which I can only apologise.  Thanks again.  The Rambling Man (talk) 14:36, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
