[edit] Editing "Bodybuilding" page yesterday (Sunday, May 20)

Adam Abeles posted his own photo on this page, according to Wiki records, on March 11. He is notorious on discussion boards on bodybuilding for creating a hostile online environment, and his picture was resented for that reason. Moreover, Mr. Abeles is not representative of competitive bodybuilding. He has never placed in a national or regional bodybuilding competition, as hundreds (indeed, thousands) of other competitors have. If someone belongs at the top of an international online encyclopedia article, he is not the person who does. After reading an outcry on a discussion forum on bodybuilding, requesting that his photo be deleted, I did so since I'm a registered and established Wiki editor. If I was out of line, so be it. I just wanted to explain why I deleted the photo.

Thanks,

That's false. I uploaded that image and I posted it on the page. Please see [[1]] and [[2]] which I subsequently changed the caption of and moved to the top. Mr. Abeles may not be "representative" of competitive bodybuilding(whatever that means) however that's irrelevant. The "Bodybuilding" page is not a "competitive bodybuilding" page but a page concerning all of bodybuilding. I've stated this over and over, It's the only free viable image that can be used. What a "message board" thinks of the picture being there is wholly irrelevant. Wikipedia doesn't function on what some obscure message board thinks. Please don't remove the image again.
