thread_title:  Small link update 

message: I have removed the content added by 213.78.152.146.  It is clearly identical to that on http://www.bodybuildinguniverse.com/olympia.htm and http://www.ifbb.com/contestresults/mrolympia/ .  Neither of these sites have a copyright notice but its unlikely the content is GFDL or public domain.  Until the issue is resolved i thought it best to remove the content (we can always revert it back).  johnSLADE (talk) 09:06, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I have reverted some of the edits to the qualifying section made by 213.78.152.146.  The source i used is the 2005 IFBB constitution  which i take to be an authorative text on the issue. To quote:
:The organizer of the Mr. Olympia competition must invite the following competitors:
:1. The top 6 from the previous year’s Mr. Olympia;
:2. The top 6 from the same year’s Arnold Classic [amended October 27, 2004];
:3. The top 5 from the same year’s New York Men’s Professional [amended October 27, 2004]; and
:4. The top 3 from any Grand Prix or other professional bodybuilding competition held subsequent to the previous year’s Mr. Olympia.

message: This is an okay article, but there's far too much biased wording "huge legs", "cut to ribbons", etc. for it to be truly encyclopediaic. It almost reads like an article from Men's Health, a style that doesn't really support our ideal of a neutral point of view. --FuriousFreddy 13:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, 12 years later it hasn't improved apparently... The article on the Star Wars Kid is more thorough and “encyclopedic” than this. Sad, really.--Abolibibelot (talk) 08:48, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi there Xray88. The key issue with Munecito's edit request was that Heath had not been listed as the winner of the 2011. I assumed that the reason he said Phil was for the sake of brevity - the article at the time was officially Phillip Heath so I had no reason to presume that his common name was anything else. Per WP:NAMES the article's title (and so what references to Heath should be in this article) should be his common name, and judging from information I found on Heath, he is indeed referred to as Phil. I therefore have no reason to change it back to Phillip on the basis of this new information :). Jay Σεβαστόςdiscuss 16:59, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

message: There's been some confusion about the amount of money awarded to the individual winner of the Mr. Olympia contest in 2013. The prize money for all winners in the division is $675,000, but the prize money for the first-place finisher is $250,000, according to muscleandfitness.com.

message: In the "Consecutive Wins" box, Jay Cutler is given as having won four in a row, placing him in 6th place for most consecutive wins. However, he did not win 4 in a row. He won 4 total. 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010. He lost the 2008 to Dexter Jackson. So in reality he has twice won two in a row (2006/2007, and 2009/2010). I am terrible at the boxes like that though so I can't do it. Also, now that I think about it. Dexter Jackson shouldn't even be in that box at all, as he has only won one, so therefore can't have "Consecutive" wins. Vyselink (talk) 23:31, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I corrected that box today : Arnold Schwarzenegger only had 6 consecutive wins.--Abolibibelot (talk) 08:45, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

message: My only reason for commenting is that the very first result hi-light from a non logged-in Google Search picks one particular sub-section of the Demographics section, namely the list of Christian winners. 
I consider another part of this article a better summary of the article for search engines.
Further, I propose that the Demographics section should have much more relevant statistics in order to be relevant at all. Where is race and sexual orientation? Hilarious. :)

replies: text: I agree that the relevance of the whole section is highly dubious in an article about a sports competition, especially as it currently is, mentioning religion and sexual practices as the only two defining attributes of those great athletes (and not, for instance, their scholar achievments, their professional or artistic endeavours...). And it gives the impression that being “openly gay” (reminds me of what George Carlin used to say about that strange expression) is akin to practicing a religion, which is hilarious in and of itself ! (Nowadays, though, you gotta wonder if there ain't truth in it...) I think I'll remove it altogether ; if someone really wants it back it should be much more substantiated in order to have a legitimate place in this article — which is surprisingly short by the way, for such an important competition.--Abolibibelot (talk) 08:41, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
