Clare Dennis
Hello. Is there any reason that you cut off that sentence about her nearly getting disqualified for her costume? It was put on the Main Page of Wikipedia, so I'm guessing the administrators thought it was appropriate enough?ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 04:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Well, hello Mr David Wallechinsky

The two facts that you mentioned were from the "Aussie Gold" by Max and Reet Howell. I must say I originally read the Michelle Ford thing, which stated that she was the first to win medals in two strokes and thought "Hey, Spitz definitely did this first", so I changed it to female, but didn't check carefully enough, because I would have seen that Kornelia Ender won both the 100m free and fly. Thankyou for pointing that out, I will be more careful with what I put in.

With your great knowledge, for which I have great respect, I think it would greatly benefit Wikipedia and your own goal of increasing correct and detailed information about Olympic history if you joined us here at Wikipedia, as I think it is now the 17th most visited site on the internet, and your contributions here would result in greater awareness of the history of the Olympics.

As with the factual corrections with Clare Dennis, please simply put an explanation in the edit summary box, so that we will know why you have removed content.
