Talk:Mariusz Pudzianowski

message: The last paragraph sounds like it came from his PR manager.  There's certainly some truth to what is said, but it seems excessively adulatory.
I also put back the statement about his 2004 suspension, and his placings in the 2001 and 2004 WSM contests.    It looks like the same person(s) that added the last paragraph edited out anything remotely negative.  There doesn't seem to be any reason to leave this out, since it's a simple statement of facts (as long as there's no speculation about the specifics of the suspension).

thread_title:  POV 

message: Two paragraphs of the biography appear to have been copied directly from http://pudzian.lid.com.pl/pudzian/?a=pudzian (looks like an official Mariusz site, though not the same one listed in the article), with a couple of changes to correct obvious typos.  Seems like this violates Wikipedia policy.
Interestingly, his best bench press and squat as given on that page are significantly lower than the ones claimed in the Wikipedia article.  Seems like a reference for the Wikipedia numbers might be a good idea, as these lifts seem pretty incredible even for Mariusz. Dsreyn 02:40, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible plagiarism 

message: As someone had previously mentioned here (recently removed by some anon), the Polish Wikipedia gives has year of birth as 1977. Dsreyn
DOB is not mentioned on his official website. It is mentioned, however, that he began competing at 16 and that he entered his first competition in December 1990. That would put his birth year as 1974.
Additionally, the one-year ban after his 3rd place finish in 2004 was negotiable, depending on rehabilitation. Since he is on the circuit in 2005, the assumption would be that he sought rehab rather than sit out for a year.
There is a brief bio page for Mariusz on the Arnold Classic strongman contest site at http://www.arnoldsstrongestman.com/Mariusz%20Pudzianowski.htm which says that Mariusz is 27.  That page looks like it was made for the 2004 contest (it has 2003 results, and he didn't compete in the 2005 contest), so the age given there is consistent with 1977 as his year of birth.  This seems like a somewhat authoratative source, though it still disagrees with the bit mentioned above (competing at age 16 in 1990). Dsreyn 13:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of birth

message: According to his official site his measurements are biceps 56cm, nape 54cm, waist 92cm, thigh 80cm, weight 132 kg, height 186cm, chest 148cm, forearm 45cm and he can bench press 275kg, squat 360kg, deadlift 395kg. --unsigned comment added by 211.27.157.83 (talk) 06:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As as he does not officially compete in the three powerlifting lifts I consider his site to be the ultimate authority on what his "gym lifts" are and hence have included them accordingly. StrengthCoach 13:25, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

text: The page says his bench press is 5,563KG, that's like 9100lbs. That's like 12 times the Guiness record. That can't be right.--Legomancer 19:45, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

text: This page seems to be a favorite target of vandals lately.  I put back the stats from his official site. Dsreyn
He looks a little older than 31or 32; don't ya think?
*Editors keep changing his height and weight without citation, please leave it alone, unless a reliable citation is provided for the change. IP editor 211.27.157.83 provided stats above, indicating that they were from his official site. Wikipedia has a policy with regard to self-published material, namely "Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves" so long as it meets certain requirements. The Polish site says waga: 142 kg, and wzrost: 186 cm, so that is 312 pounds and 6 ft. 1 inch; the weight does not match what 211.27.157.83 indicated above, but Pudzianowski may have gained weight since 2005. --Bejnar (talk) 07:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, now there is a citation saying that is weight is 117kg.  That's quite frankly unbelievable, and it contradicts a number of other reliable sources.  I've left both in for now (with a  tag), but unless someone explains here why there would be such a large discrepancy, I'm going to remove it as an error from the source in question.

message: There is NO SUCH MOVIE! As a member of Polish fandom I'd surely knew that, but I haven't seen even anecdotal evidence.

replies: text: How can you say for sure that the quote was taken from Wikipedia, and not the other way around?  It seems to me that if someone finds more references to this movie on the net, you can just reply "see, they copied the hoax from Wikipedia". Dsreyn 17:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I can say for sure, because I live in Poland and I'm a great SF-F fan: I'd know about the movie if there were only gossips about plans... I haven't seen a single poster, no news in Polis media, NOTHING.  "Born To Be Big" is not a reliable source in this matter. I cannot say who made the hoax first: Wikipedia or Born2BBig, but that's a hoax for sure. A.J. 09:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Mariusz served an 18 month sentence for battery & robbery in 2000/2001. He talked about it on numerous occasions on Polish TV. He pleaded guilty to battery and not guilty to robbery. Pudzianowski explains that an argument occurred between him and another individual and this led to a fight. As battery is not a crime in Poland unless the victim stays a minimum 7 days in a hospital, and is only punished on a civil filing the victim confessed that a golden neck chain was stolen in the event, so the crime could be pursued from the Polish criminal law.  here, with the daughter of the Polish president Kwasniewski, Pudzianowski admits that he indeed did time  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.199.198.237 (talk) 14:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Of course the winner of the most World's Strongest Man titles, so that in itself would make him the most decorated WSM competitor.
