== Edit request: 2008 relay gold taken away ==

Edit request: Beijing 2008 gold medal was taken away from Bolt due to one of his teammates being tested positive for banned substance.<ref>https://stillmed.olympic.org/media/Document%20Library/OlympicOrg/IOC/Who-We-Are/Commissions/Disciplinary-Commission/BRT-III-005-Decision-of-the-Disciplinary-Commission-Nesta-CARTER.pdf#_ga=1.217749974.1737167302.1484825116</ref>

:::I moved this to "2017" with some additional explanation to make it more understandable. It's a 2017 event arising from 2008 Olympics. [[User:Santamoly|Santamoly]] ([[User talk:Santamoly|talk]]) 22:28, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

== Lead image ==

[[File:Bolt conquista tricampeonato também nos 200 metros 1038922-18.08.2016 ffz-8518 (cropped).jpg|thumb|right]]
I believe that the lead image of the article should be changed to the one on the right. This image has a better view of the subject's face, which I believe encapsulates the article's subject better. The current image does not even fit into the infobox well, and does not have a good view of his face.--[[User:Alza08|Alza08]] ([[User talk:Alza08|talk]]) 02:08, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. The proposed photo is not the most flattering facial close up. There are many other facial close ups that capture the essence of the subject in a more dignified manner, for example here [https://www.google.com/search?q=usain+bolt&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjfvfzG2IXSAhXCXhQKHaDsAUkQ_AUICSgC&biw=1280&bih=918#q=usain+bolt&tbm=isch&tbs=sur:fc]
Further, this photo does not enhance the context of the subject as an Olympic champion, especially when the photo's caption intends to highlight Mr. Bolt's 2016 Rio De Janeiro Olympic successes. It's just a photo of a tired, sweaty man staring blankly into outer space.--[[User:DanJazzy|DanJazzy]] ([[User talk:DanJazzy|talk]]) 14:07, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Personal appearances section

The "Personal appearances" section has an entry that links to a Boston Globe article with a broken link to a video. The entry doesn't make much sense without the missing video, so hoping somebody can locate it and fix it. Santamoly (talk) 22:36, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2015 segway injury

Why is there no mention of the accident with the cameraman on a segway running over his foot during the Beijing 2015 world championship? Is it against a wikipedia guideline? 77.126.24.108 (talk) 10:50, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
