External links[edit]

The external links section should not be a link farm. Someone keeps adding links that do not directly involve Ortmayer. WP:EL is quite clear that such links are inappropriate. For example, general links about the Arnold Classic can be put on the Arnold Classic page, but they don't belong on the page of everyone who has ever competed there.

I also added a POV tag - this article is a bit over the top with praise in places, and that needs to be toned down to a more neutral level. 71.233.6.118 (talk) 21:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted, I've fixed it. Anyone up for writing the Brian Shaw (strongman) article? -- Timberframe (talk) 08:57, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flags[edit]

Please look at the guidance in Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(flags)#Do_not_use_flags_in_general_article_prose. If you feel that it is of overriding importance to insert flags in text, despite the guidance in the MOS, please discuss this here first. -- Timberframe (talk) 20:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
