who is this??

William the Conqueror

First, do not edit my User page. It is my space to format or configure as I see fit. It is not for discussing edits. That is what the User Talk page is for. An even better place to discuss it would be on the William the Conqueror Talk page, where interested others are more likely to see it, and where I have placed my response.

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 10:19, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

100 metres/200 metres

Hi there! Please note that I did not force this issue of maximum speed in either article. The wording has been changed to this on 200 metres:

"Because a smaller proportion of the time is spent in the acceleration phase, some athletes run 200 m at a greater average speed than they do over 100 metres."

and this on the 100 metres:

"even though the world record for the 200 m has had a faster average speed in the men's race since the mid 1990s."

These are the numbers I speak so clearly of, based upon the hard facts of finishing times. The fact that the drive phase need only be completed once is of obvious benefit to the 200 m times, and it evidently out-weighs the exhaustion of the doubled distance.

However, do you have citations for a number of split times? Whilst the above material can crudely rest on the mathematical comparison of 100 to 200 metres times, the proof of which one has a "higher maximum speed" will demand investigation, thus more citations and referencing. I would be really interested in getting your help on this matter, as you are a sports science student. I'm sure you have noticed that the event articles are not of a high quality and do not refer to high quality sources. Hopefully together we can rectify that! Cheers.
