as there a link to jessica's website[edit]

and in the site there's a link to this page, and i m guessing Jessica have something to do with her official site, it would be nice if her or any of her representatives will add information about her, like how she did in the 08 paralympics, or any other important info. in my opinion, the articles that famous people write about themselves are the best ones out there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.139.161.224 (talk) 16:43, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth[edit]

It says on the page that she was born in Bratsk, however, here, it says she was born in Irkutsk.--Lucky102 (talk) 21:15, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A possible cause of confusion is that Irkutsk is both the name of a city and of the province (oblast) in which Bratsk is located.

Anyway, on the page you link to, there is nothing about her place of birth. Maybe the text has changed?

In the Russian Wikipedia article, Bratsk is mentioned, so I guess we can leave it as is. Geke (talk) 14:34, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Performance Statistics[edit]

I'd love to see a list of her heat times. 50.39.187.102 (talk) 00:58, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can her book be added?[edit]

Jessica Long has written a book for children, "The Mermaid With No Tail" and another book titled "Unsinkable". Can those be mentioned in the article somehow? Geke (talk) 14:40, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
