Talk:Sports in Boston

I suggest renaming the page to Sports in Boston for the sake of consistency with other articles for sports in U.S. cities. The other long-time holdout from the "Sports in X" convention was Pittsburgh Sports, which has recently been renamed Sports in Pittsburgh. Spikebrennan 13:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Quality, people
This page looks like crap. There are grammar issues left and right, and truly embarrassing spelling errors galore. 71.88.109.183 (talk) 15:44, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

NOR synthesis, should be deleted?
Deletion consideration for the second paragraph's sentence about every decade: "Several Boston-area colleges and universities are active in college athletics. Boston has had at least one professional sports team (NHL, NBA, NFL, or MLB) play in a championship game in every single decade starting from the early 1900s with the Red Sox to the present 2000's with the Celtics, Red Sox, and Patriots." It has been suggested that merely interpreting what a list of facts states is considered to be NOR and possibly synthesis. I am attempting to get clarification on this (been a number of days without response). I may be wrong discussing this PRIOR to deletion of facts even though those facts may be synthesized since the consensus seems to be to delete facts first then "synthesize" a rationalization for it. Also citations are necessary for that sentence. Thank you for your time. Hholt01 (talk) 01:59, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Sports in Boston
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sports in Boston's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Boston": From 2011 Stanley Cup Finals:  From Boston Red Sox:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:32, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
