Talk:List of Australian Olympic medallists in swimming

Reformat

I wonder whether it would be better to combine the two tables, to make reading easier. ie.

Athlete	Individual medals			All medals including team and heats			Years competed
	Gold	Silver	Bronze	Gold	Silver	Bronze
Shane Gould	3	1	1	3	1	1	1972
Ian Thorpe	3	1	1	5	3	1	2000 2004

Also, I think it might be better sorted alphabetically by surname. Article title should be uncapitalised 'swimming' -- I@n ≡ talk 05:48, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Asterisks

There are asterisks throughout these tables, but no footnote or clue about what they represent. Ordinary Person 15:50, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I just saw this too. Am going to remove them until they're clarified. Dgen (talk) 23:04, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Australian spelling should preside

In Australia, it is spelled "medallists". Hesperian 02:15, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind. I'm quite unfussed by spelling. I would have instinctively used two l's but just copied the spelling from the main page to conform. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

It does look a bit odd when even the Olympic site uses "medallist"[1]. Hack (talk) 09:51, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Capitalization of "swimming"

Why is this word capitalized? JHMM13^(Disc) 05:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

An error, and you should have felt completely free to move it without my permission.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

It's better to ask first than be shouted at later, I like to say. :-D. Thanks for the help. JHMM13^(Disc) 16:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Incidentally, this page was a little hard to find. I'm unfamiliar with the processes of Australian Olympic-related articles, but you might want to consider finding a nice template for this article to fit into, much like the one found at the bottom of today's Featured Article. I think a template that could be worked into an Australian Olympic medalist series to be displayed on multiple pages with a sort of central article to be called something like "List of Australian Olympic medalists" would be very beneficial to the exposure of this great article. If none of this makes any sense to anyone (I'm not quite sure if I'm making too much sense explaining it...), I'm thinking about something like this that has links to the individual NHL seasons and, more importantly, links to other New Jersey Devils season articles. This article is a great place to start a project like that off. If this article and the one on the main page are any indicators, I'd say the guys working on Australian Olympic stuff is the right group for the job. Then again, if something like this already exists...just ignore everything I've said. Just a suggestion, JHMM13^(Disc) 17:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Australia NOC symbol.png

Image:Australia NOC symbol.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
