I'll handle reviewing some of these Boat Race articles to try and help cut down on the amount of active noms in the sports topic. Almost to 100...
Prose look good.

Too many one sentence paragraphs. Please merge some.
Reaction sentence is quite small. Could it be made a subsection maybe?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wirenote (talk • contribs) 00:47, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
I've fixed the first issue, the second, well it's difficult to find reactions from 1980. I'll see what I can do.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:09, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
Wirenote hasn't edited since the above, so I went ahead and took a look through the article. Saw nothing further than what's noted, so I'll pass this. Wizardman 02:09, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

The Stroke of the Oxford team should be M. J. Diserens. It is the same person as the 1979 race which has the correct spelling.
Source: He was my uncle.

Thanks.  Fixed, in two locations.  What did M. J. stand for?  The Rambling Man (talk) 14:54, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
It was Michael James, most of us knew him as Mike.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nymain (talk • contribs) 13:53, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
