Talk:Ben Weider

message: My POV concern is regarding the following:
:Note: the Weiders have been criticized for monopolizing the sport of bodybuilding. Weider's magazines have, according to critics, publicized incorrect training articles and weightlifting systems that cannot possibly be followed by the average person.
I'm not arguing the truthfullness of this statement, but I think it is NPOV enough that it requires a source or sources. fbb_fan 02:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have corresponded with Ben about the cause of Napoléon I’s death.  He said he has written three books on the issue: “Assassination at St. Helena”, “Assassination at St. Helena Revisited” and “The Murder of Napoleon”.  He wrote the first together with Sten Forshufvud.  The two others might have been written by both of them or just Ben.  It depends on when they were written since Sten died in 1985.  Anyone who happend to know?

I locked up the two other books on Amazon.com.  “Assassination at St. Helena Revisited” was written by both Ben and Sten Forshufvud.  “The Murder of Napoleon” was written only by Ben.  It might well have been written after Sten’s death.  Anyone who happend to know when it was first issued?

I have a listing of his books on his site. I have listed many of his English publications but have not placed his French works. His works on Napoleon has been published in many languages. I will start this week on references as few listings exist on his citation page. Any suggestions? We also need references relating to his honors.

thread_title:  Books 

message: The first sentence and the infobox state he was born in 1924 - but he is in the 1923 births category. The infobox states he was 84 - but the biography section and some refs state he was 85. Werdnawerdna (talk) 13:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To make it more confusing, IMDB has a totally different birthplace and date. It lists 29 November 1922, Montreal, Canada. I reverted one of the changes because of the source, but I'm unsure the reversion is correct either. I would be inclined towards the IMDB date, but someone should have a more direct source.LH (talk) 01:39, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Year of birth and age

message: This article states that he was born in Poland; family emigrated to Canada when he was a child. Older brother Joe's article states that Joe was born in Canada in 1922. It is extremely unlikely that both articles' statements are true. What is the truth? If anyone knows, please correct the false information. Werdnawerdna (talk) 13:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
