-I'm doing a general brushup of the article.  It is pretty good actually.  Just trying to make it a bit more neutral sounding, while keeping the content.  BTW, there is a pretty high level of detail, but I think that's fine, given that Shawn is in the news and such.  After 2008 (or her retirement), we may want to skinny it down more.  But it is good to have the detail now.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TCO|contribs]]) 00:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-Pretty much done.  Would like to know if we should add the trials results to the table (and are there medals awarded?)  I am a bit intimidated to edit a table in wiki world, though.[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 01:42, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
-I just edited a few facts that were incorrect (Johnson doesn't do a Tkatchev on bars), and added in missing information such as the other American World All-Around champions and the third floor performer in team finals at 2007 Worlds.  There were also a few minor typos.  So no major changes from me! [[User:MochaChip99|MochaChip99]] ([[User talk:MochaChip99|talk]]) 15:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
-nice.[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 19:10, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
-Someone added a bunch of citation requests (especially for scores).  I will get around to getting these in there.  It is not so daunting as it looks, because one source can be used per meet (perhaps even a source like USAG that covers several of the meets.)[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 13:24, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
-== College? ==
-Has she committed to do gymnastics at a college yet? If so, where? Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/98.215.86.209|98.215.86.209]] ([[User talk:98.215.86.209|talk]]) 16:18, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
-I think she went pro.  She has talked about going to an Ivy League school.  I imagine that the endorsement money she's earned, her noteriety, as well as her 4.0 (on an easy classload however) would make that a possibility.[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 13:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
-Shawn is not eligible to compete in NCAA gymnastics because she has accepted endorsements for the Olympic Games (meaning she has forfeited her amateur status). [[User:SkittlzAnKomboz|SkittlzAnKomboz]] ([[User talk:SkittlzAnKomboz|talk]]) 19:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
-== Kolinko ==
-I like most of your changes.  However, I think it's a bit off to list only her new skills in the table below.  I would ask that we go back to having it part of the text (gives parallelism of structure) with how skills in 2006/7 are handled.
-If you want a list of skills at the end, would be better to list the entire routines.[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 13:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
-:I have no objection to adding all the skills she performs in her routines. I rearranged the skills to the end to have them all in one place, but I didn't add anything to them. If you can source all her skills for the last however many years, please go ahead and add them. :) I commented some of it out because it wasn't clear what it was saying, not because I didn't think it was notable. Having a list of her skills in the body of the text may be out of place, though. If she fell on a skill or was the first one to perform it, then it is relevant, but otherwise, I think for the sake of organization and clarity, it may be best to have it all in one place. [[User:Kolindigo|Kolindigo]] ([[User talk:Kolindigo|talk]]) 16:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
-The point is that those skills are ONLY the recent upgrades.  Not all of her notable skills. Within the text there is a clear flow, that the original author (not me) had of describing her career, where certain set of skills was added as she went to elite and then a certain set of upgrades were recently added.  So I think it makes more sense for that particular list to be back in the chronological career description.[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 13:47, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
-== Silver Medal at Rio, 2007? ==
-I noticed she "only" got a Silver Medal in Rio de Janeiro in 2007 on the Floor. What happened? [[User:Smuckers|Smuckers]] [[User_talk:Smuckers|<sup>It has to be good]]</sup> 08:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
-== Height ==
-This article says she is 4'8" but [http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/athlete=619/bio/index.html] says she's 4'9"
-I'm changing her height to 4'9" unless someone can verify she is in fact 4'8"  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Minimidgy|Minimidgy]] ([[User talk:Minimidgy|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Minimidgy|contribs]]) 01:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-A nice article in the back of People magazine (the one with Brad and Angelina's new babies on the cover) says 4'8" 90 lbs. People does not lie. Us Weekly on the other hand...[[User:Rikki rocket|Rikki rocket]] ([[User talk:Rikki rocket|talk]]) 00:49, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

-== Better Picture? ==
-I was thinking we should have a better picture of her in the article, since she is barely visible in that photograph. Perhaps if she wins gold tonight we can get an image of that. I have seen many pictures that would be great for this article, but of course we would have to get the copyright holder to license it and such. Anyone agree?--[[User:Minimidgy|Minimidgy]] ([[User talk:Minimidgy|talk]]) 20:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
-: A better picture would be nice. As you said, the problem is licensing. I've sent a few e-mails, but I don't know if it'll get anywhere. [[User:Calebrw|Calebrw]] ([[User talk:Calebrw|talk]]) 21:04, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
-:: Might I ask where you have sent e-mails out to? I have friends with the Des Moines Register & they have 300+ photos of her (see: [http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=D2&Dato=20080706&Kategori=SPORTS15&Lopenr=706001&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=1 Ultimate Shawn Johnson gallery]). I may be able to get permissions to use at least one of them. [[User:AceFrye|JP Frye]] ([[User talk:AceFrye|talk]]) 04:58, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
-:::Just photographer acquaintances that might have them. [[User:Calebrw|Calebrw]] ([[User talk:Calebrw|talk]]) 05:05, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
-::::Okie doke, well, let us know how that goes -- if it doesn't work out I'll shoot my friends an e-mail, otherwise I'll leave them be. :-)Jayson 'Ace' P.

-::Looking at her website, it appears "John Cheng" has taken a lot of pictures, so he might be a good place to start. She also has an official Flickr account: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/26388705@N05/ here]--[[User:Minimidgy|Minimidgy]] ([[User talk:Minimidgy|talk]]) 07:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
-In the interview with Bob Costas tonight (Friday, US TIme) JOhnson didn't seem like she expected to be at the 2012 games in London. Even saying she thought her "shining moment" was the floor exercise last night.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Wvucheerjr|Wvucheerjr]] ([[User talk:Wvucheerjr|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wvucheerjr|contribs]]) 00:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
