Philip, I have taken the 2012 FINA championship articles off of my watch list, as you and other interested editors seem to have these articles well in hand. If anyone attempts to delete any of these FINA championship articles or nominates any of them for AfD, please let me know immediately.
I am continuing to work on the biographies of U.S. Olympic swim team members. All 700+ Olympic swimmer bios are now properly formatted, including "Infobox swimmer," applicable categories, and links to related "see also" articles. We also have navboxes for all U.S. Olympic swim teams from 1912 to 2012.
My plan is to continue to improve the main body text of these articles while adding footnoted sources (which are sorely lacking in many). Apart from the obvious on-line Olympic databases like Sports-Reference.com, it would be helpful if we could compile a list of all known competitive swimming references on the WikiProject Swimming page, including both on-line and hard-copy references. I recently came across a recent book called the "Encyclopedia of Swimming" (or something like that) and will probably buy a used copy of it on Amazon in the coming weeks. I am sure there are other general Olympic and swimming-specific refs out there. We also need references for the AAU swimming championships, which served as the U.S. national championships until the 1970s, and the NCAA swimming championships. Please let me know what other good sources you have found. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:55, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Philip, thank you, once again, for your kind words and support during my RfA. I look forward to continuing to work with you on Olympic swimming and other articles of interest. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:19, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey Philip. Nice to meet you. Your well deserved nomination will be reviewed (just a forrmality) and will then go into a "Q" of other Nominations. So...in about two months I hope you will be surprised all over again. We clerks at Editor of the Week have tried to keep nominations secret which has recently been hampered with the new Notification Procedure. Thanks for coming to my talk. Otherwise I would not been aware that the new procedure lets "the cat out of the bag". TRA! ```Buster Seven Talk 12:32, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1996 United States Olympic Trials (swimming), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Barbara Bedford (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
