Should the title of this article be amended to 'London Aquatics Centre' to ensure consistency with the Aquatics Centre in Manchester? This is called '
Manchester Aquatics Centre'. The
Olympic Delivery Authority use the term 'London Aquatics Centre', for example in the January 2008 report "London Aquatics Centre: Submission of Reserved Matters".

I created an External Links section but am not sure if the layout is correct. Any suggestions/amendments much appreciated.

The LDA was responsible for organising the competition to select the architect for the Aquatics Centre. The Panel of eight responsible for the evaluation was headed by Lord Rogers, architect, and Lord Carter of Coles in his role as Chair of
Sport England.
Nearly two hundred expressions of interest were followed by forty submissions which were reduced to a shortlist of six. The selection of Zaha Hadid was announced on 31st January, 2005, and detailed designs for the building were released in November 2006.
Would it be useful to add a section with this information to the main article? Subsequent events such as the need for the centre to be re-designed, the cost increases considerably in excess of the original budget and the delayed opening date all relate to this topic.

Should the importance of the article be raised from 'Low' as the London Aquatics Centre (LAQ) is becoming a topic of considerable interest in both the UK media and UK politics on both a local and national level? Topics raised about the LAQ include the deferred delivery date which has moved from 2008 to 2010, the substantial revisions to the design, and the increasing costs of the project which has significantly exceeded the original budget.
The election of Boris Johnson (Conservative Party) as Mayor of London, replacing Ken Livingstone (Labour Party), has seen renewed political interest in the LAQ. Boris Johnson has expressed concern over the management of the project and promised to carefully scrutinise all aspects, especially financial overspend. Dean Armond 14:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I included information about the main pool depth (3m), but I couldn't find the depth of the diving pool (the minimum according to Olympic rules is 4.5m, although 5m seems more usual and I found pages claiming that in Beijing it was 13m (but I suspect that is an error)). -- Rps ( talk) 00:16, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
