• Length, date and QPQ all fine. My one question is over the references to Sportfieber website - is this really a reliabe source? I'm struggling to find any information on it. I trust that the results as listed are correct but it might be better if they were referenced to the IPC database - Basement12 (T.C) 17:47, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

• It's fair enough questioning the site as there is limited information about it. I used it because all the results are correct and it combines all swimming results for each year into one place. The IPCdb could be used but that would add a dozen citations to the article. Other sources are used for the hook facts. violet/riga _^[talk] 18:15, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

• I wouldn't be comfortable putting the article on the main page if we can't be certain on the reliability of the sources. I'm happy to add the refs myself (as the hook is supported by other sources I think I can do this without becoming too involved to pass it afterwards) but I can't access the IPC website at the moment, seems like it might be overloaded with the impending opening of the Games. I'll keep trying - Basement12 (T.C) 19:07, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

IPC citations added, Ready to go - Basement12 (T.C) 22:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
