I'm sorry, but I don't see the voluminous discussion leading to a consensual editorial decision on the opening section, especially given that it has been changed many times recently. Can you please provide a link? Thanks! -- Oprah999 ( talk) 19:18, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Dim, I appreciate your many contributions to wikipedia and elsewhere, however I'm not trying to reach any personal "goal" or anything of the sort. The article should simply reflect what is most pertinent about Mr. Armstrong, not a "progressive goal" towards any vendetta against Mr. Armstrong, it should simply reflect the truth, and the shifting importance of what his story means. So given recent events the informational value equation has changed, and his importance as a tri-athlete, IMO of minor importance before all of this, is even less important now. For better or worse, the criteria of his historical impact is now something like this: 1) Most notorious, high-profile elite athlete caught in doping; 2) star cycling champion stripped of 7 TdF titles; 3) cancer survivor and livestrong founder; 4) athletic accomplishments; 5) celebrity status. -- Oprah999 ( talk) 21:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
