CAN SOMEONE CHECK THESE FOR ME PLEASE.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Phelps
This website says so far Michael Phelps has set 38 world records (under the heading of WORLD RECORDS).
I understand there should be another one listed as the 38th record (set on 18 Dec 2009).
So, listed 38th record would become the 39th one (set on 19 Dec 2009).

This website says Michael Phelps team set a short course record on 18 December 2009 (the last one under the heading of MEN SHORT COURSE).
This is the record which is not listed on the earlier website, so should be added to the list as the 38th record.

However, the above world record is not current. Please check the following website.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world_records_in_swimming
This website says the last short course 4x100 medley relay world record was set by a Russian team on 20 December 2009, that means Michael Phelps team record stood only for 2 days - anyway RECORD is a RECORD, it should be listed.

Can someone check these and let me know please. Thanks.
