Talk:Real Salt Lake

message: The History section is choppy and doesn't even start with the creation of the team.  There's no mention of Dave Checkett's announcement of the team or anything.  The article in general is outdated and needs work.  I'll try to give it a few minutes in the near future.WXAggie (talk) 21:00, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

message: In the second paragraph, regarding the name of the franchise, it says: 
:Fan support for the name, however, has not been positive, as rumors that the name would be Real Salt Lake were largely met with derision and pessimism.
However, later in the same paragraph it says:
:Although it is yet to be seen how both the American and European media respond to this highly unconventional name, there has been little derision or disapproval so far.
So...which is it? bob rulz 05:01, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
:I don't know, but it is a stupid name.  The team website implies that they wanted to appeal to the hispanic community in Salt Lake, though they don't explicitly say so.  Sandy supposedly unveiled their plans for the stadium yesterday, but other than the fact that they unveiled their plans, I can't find any info about what those plans actually are.

I noticed that Chivas, Chicago Fire, DC United, LA Galaxy, Red Bull NY, and even Columbus have famous supporters listed. Does Real Salt Lake have any? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Qwestarsenal (talk • contribs) 03:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Governor Huntsman jumped in to "save" the team? I don't think this is how it happened at all. There were a number of offers, just none that Checketts was persuaded to like. I think Huntsman lobbied harder than private enterprise, and with Mayor Rocky Anderson, put together a "plan" that would ensure they could maintain control over the stadium - keeping it in Salt Lake County. I think the language here is a little too glowing of Huntsman Jr.'s involvement as team savior and should perhaps be modified. Thoughts? Nhansen 03:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Your club doesn't yet have a 2009 Season article, we are hoping to get each of the MLS teams up and going like these; Sounders, Fire, Dynamo, Wizards, and TFC. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at anytime. Thanks Morry32 (talk) 01:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

message: FTA: The team colors are claret red, cobalt blue, and Real gold.[1]
So did they invent their own color or is 'Real gold' just a pretentious way of saying 'yellow'? The citation link is broken, so who has the answers? --Mooky (talk) 19:24, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

message: A lot of this material, particularly about the finacial politics behind building the stadium, really belongs in the article on Rio Tinto Stadium, as it's about the stadium, not the team. While they are definitely linked, it's just too much detail for this article. It's not like Rio Tinto doesn't have it's own article where this is more appropriate. In short, the section needs to be trimmed and summarized better, per WP:SUMMARY. oknazevad (talk) 06:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stadium section 

message: I started an article History of Real Salt Lake for the season=by-season recaps. We should summarize this material and leave the detailed history for the new page. I would suggest one paragraph with info about getting the expansion team, playing at Rice-Eccles, getting better and making the play-offs, winning the Cup, and then the CONCACAF heartache.

thread_title:  History of Real Salt Lake 

message: There was a discussion about the new roster format and we have had a trial at both the Timbers and Whitecaps articles and recently Cascadia Cup rival Sounders have converted. The idea is to move all club articles on Wikipedia to the new format as is discussed in the original discussion and more recently at the football project.
My suggestion is to complete the MLS team articles first, so if you could respond at this discussion, that would be ideal. In short, the new layout is slightly taller and less wide, but it correctly impliments WP:MOSFLAG and is better for visually impared users of Wikipedia and others who use readers. I plan to implement the change to this article by the weekend of January 20-22, however other editors could make the change sooner. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change in roster format 

message: I've tagged this article as being confusing and requiring cleanup, it abounds with obvious errors that make no sense. For example: 
On October 16, 2010 Real Salt Lake improved their home unbeaten streak to 25 games in a row after beating the FC Dallas 2–0. This win gave Real Salt Lake the most consecutive home games without a loss in MLS history.[8][9] This streak was ended at 29 games on May 28, 2010, with their loss to the Seattle Sounders FC.
According to this, RSL improved their unbeaten streak in Oct. 2010, but then the streak ended prior to that in May 2010??? This is just one example of many inconsistencies in the article, I'm afraid a 12-13 year old fan wrote most of the content in this article and it shows. -War wizard90 (talk) 05:50, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: War wizard90 — I agree this article needs improvement, but a generic tag at the top of the article does very little to help other editors address the problems you see. It is helpful that you pointed out one specific problem, but your comment suggests you have identified many more. I suggest you add tags — such as  — to specific sentences that you find problematic. If that is not the right tag for you, the page Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup has just about every tag you might want. CUA 27 (talk) 03:31, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

text: I fixed the one typo identified above. And I've made a number of other improvements to the article. Are there other confusing items that need to be cleared up? If so, please identify them so that editors can fix them. If there is nothing else, I'll remove the tag. CUA 27 (talk) 00:38, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is in need of some serious clean-up 

message: I didn't like the existing section — it focuses on the opponent and includes too many details that most readers don't care about. I created a summary table that focuses on RSL's performance and how far in the tournament they reached. I don't think we need two tables in this section, so I propose we retain the table that summarizes RSL's performance and remove the table with detailed results by opponent. Thoughts?

message: Currently it says that RSL shares Rio Tinto Stadium with Utah Royals FC, but the Royals were dissolved 14 months ago. Should we just remove the blurb about them sharing the stadium or mention that they used to share the stadium?
