The Boat Race 2011
[edit]- ... that the proportion of rowers at the 2011 Boat Race who were British was the highest for a decade?
Improved to Good Article status by The Rambling Man (talk). Nominated by Matty.007 (talk) at 13:06, 25 July 2014 (UTC).
- "highest for a decade" --> "highest in a decade"??? Maybe it's one of the Oxford things. Or Cambridge. EEng (talk) 04:19, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Recently promoted to GA, long enough, well referenced and neutral. No close paraphrasing found. The hook is interesting and supported by an inline citation. Re: "for" vs. "in", I think both work. (For what it's worth, the source says "the highest ratio for 10 years". Anyhoo, good to go. 97198 (talk) 08:54, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
