Ok, last time round this became subject to an edit war so it needed to be withdrawn. I have reduced the controversial part to a minimum so, with luck, we won't end up in the same boat (tee hee). As always, thanks to anyone who has the time and energy to comment, your efforts are always appreciated,

Yes, which means to say that the graph and the table are complementary, the actual bare facts are in the table, the sense of dominance and equality and now how close it is after 161 events is given in the graph. Alternatively we could replace the year with the "edition", 1 to 161. Then dates, gaps
324:
I suspected as much... it's fine when races were held every year, but when they weren't, it's not at all apparent which year really applies. For example, the year shown before 1947 is 1937, so assuming that was four races earlier, we cannot tell from the graph what years the three in between were.
603:
This sentence doesn't fit together right for me. The Oxford win in 1923 is relevant for breaking up a string of Cambridge victories between 1914 and 1936, but the article doesn't make that clear. At the moment, that middle bit seems a bit unnecessary to me.
601:"Cambridge won the last race before the First World War resulted in a five-year hiatus in the event, and while Oxford triumphed in the 1923 race, Cambridge won thirteen consecutive races between 1924 and 1936, and led 47–40 overall." 405:
It's what the official source says (i.e. the Boat Race website) and what the contemporary sources say. There's no definition. In answer to your first question, yes, exact margins are completely unavailable in the early races.
126: 121: 422:
The body of the list doesn't really explain what are reserves supposed to mean, and why was it started in '65. Have there been cases of somebody being injured in the main crew and they hopped from reserves to main?
948:
I link them every time since it's not certain which reference will be accessed first, a bit like linking every item every time in a sortable list. I don't see it being a violation of overlink. Thanks anyway!
669:
You don't have an accessdate for ref #13. Technically, as a newspaper source, that isn't the end of the world, but given you have provided one for the similar refs #17 to #21, for consistency it would be nice.
923:
Very well-compiled list overall. However, the names of works only need to be linked within the first reference using it per WP:OVERLINK. Other than that, good to go once FrB.TG's comments are addressed.
796:
If I am not wrong, in harv references (book ones), we also add year preceded by the last name of the book's author e.g. "MacMichael, p. 34" should be changed to "MachMichael 1979, p. 34".
650:
It would be nice to have some sort of indication in the table, be it a symbol or a note, ideally next to the time, for those races that did not take place on the current course.
92: 87: 860:
If you are referring to the bibliography section, it's because the third entry is the only one PD and available to read on Google for nothing, the other two are not.
442:
if you prefer, every boat is of different construction so its length and the length of its canvas is variable, there is no one answer and no regulation regarding it.
96: 426:
This is a list about the results, not the history of the Boat Race. If you're worried about the meaning of the word "reserve" then would you prefer me to link to
79: 142: 877:
I had some other minor concerns which were already mentioned by the above reviewers and are already addressed. Aside from that, the list looks good. --

A large proportion of the results section is dedicated to the reserves. How would you like me to improve the lead to satisfy your concern?
701:
Muchos gracias, I'll sort the footnotes about the length of the race, as noted also by Nergaal, tomorrow, I'm too tired to do it now.
1009: 147: 83: 30: 17: 1024: 325:
This was of course when WWII was on, so they were 1938/9/46; but for other gaps, like 1829-41? We need to refer to the table. --
988: 937: 75: 68: 758: 954: 907: 865: 842: 823: 804: 773: 720: 706: 678: 658: 639: 612: 589: 563: 526: 498: 480: 447: 411: 390: 379: 348: 315: 284: 270: 251: 224: 188: 170: 439: 343:
etc become irrelevant. By all means upload your own preferred version. Or I can remove the graph altogether.
374:
the Championship Course, after all it's just a handful. Adding the same length for 150+ items is pointless.
310:
It's the year of the event. Prior to 1947 the race was intermittent, which is why you may find it unclear.
799:
I don't see the need to do this if there's no ambiguity, there's only one MacMichael reference after all.
754: 950: 903: 861: 838: 819: 800: 769: 716: 702: 674: 654: 635: 608: 585: 559: 555:
Not sure the first reference needs repeating in the first sentence, but I'm pretty ambivalent about it.

Since you have linked publishers of sources in the Notes section, the same can be done with CBC News.
493:
Thanks, I've responded to your questions above, please let me know how you would like me to proceed.
293:
What is the horizontal scale? From 1947 on it seems to be in fours, but prior to that it's unclear. --
1041: 57: 401:
I am not sure what easily is supposed to mean. Exact margins are completely unavailable? Is it : -->
333: 301: 982: 931: 210: 205:, but all good for a suppotr, the heavy work having been done in the last review. Excellent. - 512: 463: 367:
I think the table could use a column with the length ran that year. Use multirow if necessary
1017: 886: 607:
Tried an awkward reword, feel free to batter me for it and make alternative arrangements.
575:"to which Oxford responded with then record-equalling streak of nine consecutive victories" 1035: 53: 507:
I am sure you will find plenty of reviewers out there happily dealing with your replies.
326: 294: 976: 925: 790: 206: 558:
Funny, some people get sniffy about quotes, so I directly referenced it each time.
740: 690: 508: 459: 265:
I don't see how this helps, the information is in the table. It's personal taste.
113: 628: 624: 600: 574: 1031: 878: 837:
No, while they're the official Boat Race company, they are not notable enough.

and I will attempt to address any and all comments as soon as practicable.
631:. I prefer a lower case "the" myself, but either way, remain consistent. 370:
No, but what I could do is to add a footnote regarding the courses which

Maybe have a graph showing the progression of victories after each year?
1016:, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see 427: 857:

Well in the first case it's split by the measurement.

10lengths for sure? Perhaps have a footnote for it?
