Talk:MVP Arena

Untitled
I believe that this entry needs a section on its stellar reputation as a concert venue. I do see that previous changes I made were reverted. I have since put back the info on the Grateful Dead live album, Dozin' at the Knick, that was recorded at the arena. Milchama 13:33, 15 January 2006

Comments
An external link to www.timesunion.com should be added. Also, should the "The" in "The Times Union" really be capitalized? Finally, the practice of internally linking years should be reformed. Some are linked and others are not.


 * No, but mentioning the impending name change and wikilinking to Albany Times-Union (where there is an external link) would be appopriate. ccwaters 17:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I think I changed all of them. I didn't change the ones that refer to a specific event that occurred while the building was known as Pepsi Arena. Khatru2 06:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TUCenterlogo.jpg
Image:TUCenterlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Plagiarism

This Page Needs a Major Cleaning
I cleaned up the list of concerts for numerous reasons. First, we can't have a list of every single concert at the venue (even if a handful Wiki user claims it to be 'important'). If this were the case, the articles for other venues like MSG would be pages long. Secondly, most importantly, it's not important as to the overall aim of the article. 207.172.166.181 (talk) 03:24, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Should the Firebirds be taken out of the first paragraph where it says "Current tenants include?" They're not playing this season in the new Arena Football League, and in the column on the right hand side, they are not listed as a current team. Kjscotte34 (talk) 13:23, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

New name doesn't take effect until 1/1/2022
The name change was premature. The new sponsorship/naming rights agreement doesn't start until the new year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.81.94.70 (talk) 12:15, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
