Talk:Bridgestone Arena

message: The name isn't likely to stay that way much longer. However, I have yet to see anyone in the Nashville Media refer to the building as anything other than the Gaylord Entertainment Center. --jwhouk 02:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I bumped into this site by accident, and discovered it had been moved to Nashville Arena via cut-and-paste. I have no interests either way as to what name the page is under, but it should be moved properly (by an admin), so that the edit history remains with the article. See Help:Moving a page for further information on proceedures for moving or renaming a page. Thanks. - BillCJ 07:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :File:Sommetcenterlogo.PNG 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.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia: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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hi , please do not revert wholesale all the changes in an edit simply because you disagree with one small aspect of it. This is unnecessary and disrespectful. Also, try not to be rude in your summaries. While I agree with you that the s/d is meant to be kept brief, this doesn't mean you should remove important explanatory words from it. The short description currently on the article not only repeats a word already in the title (arena), but it doesn't provide sufficient information, in my opinion. For example, why do you not think it's important to mention what city in Tennessee the arena is in?! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 20:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Short description revert 

message: The infobox here lists two “nicknames” for the Bridgestone Arena, both with a [citation needed] tag.
I’m able to find a few oblique references to the “Smashville” name on the venue’s website, in event announcements and press releases:
* https://www.bridgestonearena.com/events/detail/smashville-summer-spectactular
* https://www.bridgestonearena.com/news/detail/ncaa-march-madness-returns-to-smashville
Additionally, I see one on a local news site: https://fox17.com/amp/sports/inside-smashville/smashville-throws-free-outdoor-viewing-parties-for-preds-playoff-games-nhl-stanley-cup-playoffs-tennessee-nashville
Do any of these rise to the level of a good Wikipedia source? 
For the “Tire Barn” name, I’m coming up short, aside from some random blog posts. Perhaps that line should just be removed.

replies: text: Fair enough. I've removed the "tire barn" nickname and added an NHL blog post as corroboration for the "smashville" one https://www.nhl.com/predators/news/this-month-in-smashville-history-march Scoott2016 (talk) 16:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
