Talk:Ted Arcidi

Discussion
Ted Arcidi never benched 725 in an official competition. His best was 705. Jim Williams never broke 700. Somebody has their facts messed up badly.

Has not Mr. Arcidi recently done some acting...? (John G. Lewis (talk) 04:54, 15 September 2018 (UTC))

Ted Arcidi was not the first man to bench press 700 pounds, his max raw was 666 pounds and A man named Shear'Ree is the first, which was in 1982 and covered in the OC Register on November 16 in print and photo on the cover of the the sports page section D1 and D6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SofaKngJEDI (talk • contribs) 23:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

BLP concerns
Regarding personal information about living people, WP:BLP requires high quality sources. Dates of birth should not be included in any event under WP:DOB unless widely published in reliable sources or by a source close to the subject; in this case, the subject has protested (2012110210005635). I've removed the year as well given concerns about the reliability of the website used to source it. According to, they accept submissions and reserve the right to "erase your profile immediately" if "we eventually discover that you submitted fraudulent or misleading information, OR if we discover that you are a backyard wrestler". In other words, there is no editorial oversight. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 * Triggered by  on the global blacklist

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 18:05, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Ted's Dad
Teddy's father, named the same as my friend, Ted's closest in age older brother Joe, was Joseph M(ichael) Arcidi and was an orthodontist, MY orthodontist, so technically a doctor but who would not refer to him as a Dentist?
