Talk:Ole Einar Bjørndalen

message: I think it is unnecessary to include "Norwegian Championships summer/winter" medals in the medal count. It looks like a Norwegian Championship gold is juxtaposed with an Olympic gold. There are no wikipedia biathlete's page except Bjørndalen's that has this absurd medal count. The standard wikipedia biathlete medal record includes; Olympic medals, World Championships medals and Junior/Youth World Championships medals. I do not know who has done this mistake, and that person may have worked hard, but the Norwegian Championship (NC) medals should in my opinion be removed/deleted. Alternatively, the NC medals or number of NC medals could be included at another part of the page? 
I also see that someone (most probably the same person) has placed the "World Championships, summer" at the medal record, and I guess that is okay, but then they call the Biathlon World Championships the "World championships, winter" and  they (he/she) also give(s) the Olympic Games the name: "Olympic Games, winter". That is incorrect. Something needs to be done with this medal record.

message: why some say that Bjoerndalen has won the Biathlon overall World Cup in 1997-1998? Is it so or not? And why season 1996-1997 is not mentioned anywhere - who won then?
I've updated the podium stats from before the olympics started, adding the two 2nd and one 3rd he had in the OL. The eurosport commentators say that the results in the olympics do also count towards the world cup, so that's why i did it. Thorml 19:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Currently, the article reads like a news-story, with too many bombastic words, and too much trivia (equipment?). I really admire Bjørndalen, and he's the most successful biathlete ever (likely, for the far future). However, it's sufficient to demonstrate it by listing his achievements, not by repeating "incredibly", "extremely", "best", in every sentence. Besides, there's too much trivia in the article, and the order of headings is wrong; the history goes upside down. Etc. Duja► 10:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't time quite yet to tidy this up, but i have just stripped out some exclamation points which i think just reinforces your point Ged UK (talk) 20:09, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: This guy keeps on winning and winning, which means updating the page becomes difficult.  I've just edited it after win number 87 because the previous editor missed a couple of places.  Also the number of 2nd and 3rd place world cup victories may need updating. Is there a way we can re-write this article (at least while he still competes) so that we can minimise the number of places that needs updating in the text? Tony (talk) 13:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updates to numbers 

message: The fact that Bjorndalen started a trend of putting pictures on his eye guard is interesting, but the other biathletes who have followed suit seems trivial given that most people seem to do so these days.  Also, this list would need constantly updating and I'm not sure it's useful in an encyclopedia.  I propose to remove the section.  Anyone against?? Tony (talk) 13:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

message: What does "top 10" mean in the Overall record table?  Is it positions 1-10 or 4-10?  Because if it is 1-10 (as I suppose), the sum in the bottom is probably wrong. Fomalhaut76 (talk) 08:30, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overall record 

message: The current summary (the paragraphs above the table of contents) is an overview of his early career, not a summary of his career in total, which is what entries are expected to have. Bjornte (talk) 22:04, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Better summary needed 

message: Hey, i trimmed down the box to only major medals like WC and olympics. The norwegian ones can be added in the prose of course but are just too much on the box. Kante4 (talk) 12:23, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
