Hall of Fame years

The article currently says she received her individual induction into the hall of fame in 1984, which the cited source backs up. However, she didn't start competing nationally until 1990. I believe it was 1994 in recognition of the championship at Dortmund. Contradicting the hall itself, though, is a bit awkward, even if it is just a typo on their site. Does anyone have a different source, or do we include a note saying the hall is wrong, or what? Beginning (talk) 20:57, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As the editor who added that, I agree it's an error. 1984 does not make sense. usa-gymnastics.org lists the 1996 Women’s Olympic Team (inducted 1998) as the correct date. This is the only team listed that Chow participated in. Note: usa-gymnastics.org is the official site (but very sparse), and gymnasticshalloffame.org is an unofficial site produced by a HOF enthusiast, that I think is ordinarily a reliable source, but in a case of conflict such as this one, must bow to the official site. I will update this later if no one beats me to it. TJRC (talk) 00:04, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

M.D.

I have a question, seeing as Amy is now a fully qualified medical doctor shouldn't she carry an "M.D." after her surname. This is something that all doctors are intitled to once they finish their training. Just a thought? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.198.87.90 (talk) 17:36, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
