Swimming World Magazine Updates

Hey there,

I'm the managing editor of Swimming World Magazine, and have decided to try to expand/place some of our historic data here on Wikipedia. However, I'm horrible at wikiediting.

I used your table for the world swimmers of the year and altered it to try something for the high school national championships table.

That content is now on the Swimming World page, but probably should be on a separate page. No clue how to do that.

Also, can you make sure I did the table right, along with the three notes?

I'd also like to do two other things on here, but don't have a clue how to go about it. First, the easy one, is just add a list of past high school swimmers of the year. That should be pretty simple.

The second, which is going to take a LONG time, I'd like to figure out some way to capture all of our cover information in one place. Like, who has appeared on what covers and how many times. We have all the images hosted on our site, so it's not something we would need to put on wikipedia. But, I'd love to have all that information in an easy to see spot.

The very last thing I'll probably do after those projects is try to come up with a complete anthology of the names and authors of all back content. That way, people can tell who is the most prolific writer in our history.

Anywho, let me know if you have any ideas. Your work on the world swimmers piece is amazing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RedTieGuy (talk • contribs) 19:11, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Well I don't know what the official name of this award is, but go to a page like Swimming World High School Teams of the Year (supposing that's the name) and place it in there. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:49, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, I think that if you placed a listing of all the articles and cover details on Wikipedia it would be removed on the grounds of WP:NOT, under the grounds of advertising. Of course, if you put all those details on your main page with an easy to search index/archive, then it should be ok. Ahh, pity about Hackett, he was a grand old warrior.

World Swimmers of the Year

Hey there. Just letting you know the World Swimmers of the Year prior to 1980 are official since Swimming World started naming them back in 1964. The only difference is that ISHOF started recognizing the award as well in 1980. I'm the managing editor of Swimming World and unearthed some more of these awards dating back to 1964. I wanted to make sure the information was correct.

Oh sorry, I didn't know it was you because you didnt log in. Can you add the details to your website's page on the SotY as well so we know that it's legitimate. That's good. Thanks. YellowMonkey (click here to choose Australia's next top model) 04:40, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

We updated our site with the info back to 1964. Can you revert back to the former changes?
