• 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]

All done I think. Thanks for the review, much appreciated. Let me know if there's anything more you'd like. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:47, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, looks good, promoting to GA. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 13:08, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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]
