Hi Budd. Please do not add your own paper directly to articles as you did here. First the "References" section is only for sources that are directly used in the development of an article. And secondly we ask that editors do not promote their own works in this way. If you feel there is valuable content that is in keeping with our guidelines in the article please suggest it on the article's talk page so editors without a conflict of interest can evaluate it. Thanks. -- SiobhanHansa 14:21, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I apologize sincerely for violating your rules, my post was not meant as a self promotion. A friend of mine suggested I come to your page because of the longtime work we have done on this subject for the sport of swimming.

I have conducted peer reviewed research in swimming for more than 20 years, and the notion of “high intensity” training for swimming was a concept that was not in great favor initially. During these Beijing Olympic Games, this model of training for the sport of swimming has become a hot topic, because many of the results have been attributed to its use with some of the top performers. For the sport of swimming, we were among the first to use it with elite level swimmers. I would be happy to forward this paper, and one other for consideration that goes into great detail not only form a science perspective, but from the resultant performance gains.

For your review, my personal web contains all the papers we have published, and you will note many of them in the top journals internationally, and recent in time frame. The papers are listed down the right side column of the page. www.teamtermin.com/coachtermin.shtml

If you find acceptable, please let me know how to proceed…

Best Regards,

 * Budd - it's common for new users to be unaware of all the guidelines here (even people who have been around for a long time don't know it all!) so please don't be concerned about making mistakes. We all do.


 * Having your expertise as an editor could be a great boon to Wikipedia and I encourage you to stay. The content and quality you could add to our articles could be wonderful.  We're really looking for good content that summarizes the well respected opinions of experts in the field.


 * Since you've done research in the area you may find our editing with a conflict of interest guidelines useful reading. It attempts to find a balance for editors between adding their expertise and maintaining our neutrality policy.  Our welcome and Five Pillars pages may also make interesting reading for a new editor.


 * If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Anytime you need help type Helpme (with the curly brackets) on this page along with your query and an experienced editor will be along shortly to try and help out.  Happy editing! -- SiobhanHansa 18:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the links to the rules for editing, and the invitaiton to be an editor. I will read the rules carefully. I would be happy to be an editor, although most of my expertise is related to swimming, so it might be somewhat limiting. In any case, should the need arrive, feel free to conact me if I can help. Here is my email address: termin@teamtermin.com  Thanks again for all the help... Btermin (talk) 15:22, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Budd
