Jay Cutler won, someone insert the information.
[edit] Copyvio?
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)
Sorry wanted to share some more in depth info on topic didn't realise the copywrite dillema. Have added my own article now about the history of Mr Olympia I feel its quite in depth and neutral. Of course anyone feels it needs touching up or anything I might of missed out please edit to improve.
Thank You

Please help I feel I have made the introduction much more infomative but I cant seem to get the lay out of the text correct hopefully somebody can adjust.
Thank you
[edit] Qualifying
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 [1] 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.

[edit] NPOV
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)
This page DOES NOT fit format. It is much to biased and words like a magazine not an encyclopedia. Whoever wrote this isnt familier with wiki format. The Mr. O is about more then just the competitors theres a lot of backround info about the Mr. O, like the show was just sold to new owners this past year. This shouldnt just be an article about various Bodybuilders but about the show itself and how it has developed and changed. it has a new judging format and new posing format as well.-Dylan
I did my best to remove as much PoV as possible (it was a mess). --204.152.176.70 18:48, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
