Well this is a fine to-do, the only Boat Race GA candidate not being reviewed! Here we go then....

Background

• "Despite, like Oxford, "their material was not very good" - this reads a little funny. Maybe "Although "their material was not very good" like Oxford" would scan better?

  I've rephrased, see how it fits for you? The Rambling Man (talk) 15:55, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• " Wednesday of Holy Week which, according to Drinkwater, "caused considerable controversy"" - any particular reason why it would be controversial?

  Well I guess it's as a result of the general feeling at the time that Holy Week was a solemn time (see this, for instance) and not one during which frivolous activities such as Boat Races and the associated celebrations that accompanied it. Nothing specific in the sources I have, that's why I've left it as is. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:55, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I was looking to see if I could link to a section in Religion in the United Kingdom, but nothing stands out, so we'll leave it as it. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:01, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

"I didn't fancy Leslie Ash in Quadrophenia.

Not bad, an almost completely 100% "can't find anything wrong" sweep. Maybe next time ;-) On hold for the moment. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:35, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, once again, for your support in the reviews that you've done for me, let me know if there's anything more I can do in this specific case! The Rambling Man (talk) 15:55, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

No, that's it - I'll pass the review now. One thing I would say is, once you've finished the main race articles is to go back and do the main The Boat Race article. Come to think of it, I can probably amalgamate what's sourced in all the GAs myself and do that. Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:01, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I fully intend to go back and address the other Boat Race articles when I'm done. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:11, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, I'm pondering whether or not to take Quadrophenia or Cassetteboy up to GA. (Why not both?) Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 20:54, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I'd be happy to help with either of those, Cassetteboy is one of my favourite "artists" and who could fail to fancy Leslie Ash in Quadrophenia? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:28, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
