:Was it ever officially called Docklands Stadium? Or was that only its 'development name'? In which case it probably shouldn't be a redirect. Hypernovean 06:03, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: i changed the largest attendence for a sporting event there - it was in fact the WWE event in 2002 that had 57000 there —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.86.90 (talk • contribs) 15:18, 29 July 2006
:I think you may hit some nerves referring to WWE as "sports".  It is well known that the events are staged.  I won't revert it immediately, will see what others have to say. -- Chuq 05:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Hey guys, I was at the concert last night and they announced they broke this record (which according to this page, Robbie Williams set last time he came around). I've updated the information. Bihal 23:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Have done.  To do it, you need to write the link like:  Ghost Rider.  This can be abbreviated to .  See Wikipedia:Pipe trick. -- Chuq 12:43, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Regarding this edit:  - are any of these famous enough to warrant mentioning?  Maybe they are notable to the clubs or people involved, but to the stadium? -- Chuq 06:57, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Events section removed WP:BOLD. I strongly suggest somebody review the section using history and summarise events into prose. The section was becoming superfluous and often quoted insignificant events to retain it's position in an extensive article on such a stadium. Timmah86 (talk) 05:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incidents/events 

message: I think it would be a good idea to change the main photo from the logo to something like this: http://www.u2achtung.com/00/u2005/imagesstades/telstradome2.jpg to bring it into line with similar articles. I would do it myself, but havn't figured out how.
:Can't give a time frame but if I remember this when I'm in the city with a camera next time, I'll try to get a shot of the stadium with the new signage in place. There are several good vantage points thanks to its location but unfortunately I won't be able to get a shot like the one in the link unless someone supplies me a helicopter (although I could get a view from the other side from the top of the Rialto). :) Definitely agree that having just the logo isn't ideal as the top image. invincible (talk) 18:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: How are these? I'm leaning towards the cropped version for the lead image. Should I crop it even more tightly? For some inexplicable reason, I didn't make an effort to stand closer to the centre of the stadium when I took the photo so the angle is a tiny bit off. Alternatively, I can take a more recent photo from the same vantage point as :Image:TelstraDomeDocklands.jpg the next time I head that way. invincible (talk) 12:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Cropped version looks fine IMO. Bidgee (talk) 12:37, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Main Picture 

message: I've removed some adverbs as they add nothing to the article. For example calling the docklands area 'developing' (it has a vague meaning) and saying that Telstra Dome is 'currently' something (such as currenlty home to Melbourne Victory). Dgen 04:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not getting much of a response at Template talk:Infobox Stadium so I'll ask here - what do people think of the sample tenants section in the layout displayed at: Template_talk:Infobox_Stadium#New_.27tenants.27_format?

message: I just wanted to triple check that as the airline is an acronym shouldn't it be in capital letters? 
High Speed Chaser (talk) 04:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the usage on the Qantas article and its references, the standard use appears to have the name in standard title case. I believe this is because at some point in time, the company would have changed its name to the word Qantas instead of an acronym given that the original meaning has lost all its relevance. invincible (talk) 04:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: (EC)It's Qantas even though the airline uses QANTAS on its logos and aircraft. Bidgee (talk) 04:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I've seen plenty of rugby games there but I'm yet to see the moveable seats extended. Does anyone have a picture of the seats out? Would make for a great addition to the article.

thread_title:  Moveable seats 

message: An IP editor, despite requests to bring this to the Talk page, simply keeps re-adding some content on a coach complaining that his players got wet when it rained, because the roof wasn't closed, and the editor won't bring the matter here. I won't play the edit war game, so I've brought it here. To me, this addition is completely undue. Footy is fundamentally an outdoor sport. Players have always got wet. They've had to play on wet grass, with a wet ball even, for over 150 years! This complaint appears to be a one off, seems incredibly trivial, and is cluttering the article with junk. The IP editor has even given it its own section now, completely misinterpreting an Edit summary of mine. Do others think it belongs? HiLo48 (talk) 07:14, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Just checked that now modified content. It had two sources. One pointed to some irrelevant template, the other to something that didn't mention the incident at all. So not only was this undue, it was unsourced. I've removed it for obvious reasons. We MUST do better than that. HiLo48 (talk) 23:05, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rainy weather nonsense 

message: Large parts of this article, especially the section on concerts, are severely lacking sources. I suspect most of the content is true, but it doesn't satisfy Wikipedia rules. I don't want to put a "cn" tag beside every piece of unsourced content, and really can't be bothered hunting down sources myself. How do we tackle such poorly cited content?

message: From the 14 July AUSFRA pre-World Cup friendly, domestic coverage from The Guardian used Marvel (1, 2, 3); Sydney Morning Herald: Marvel 1, 2; Nine: Marvel; Seven: Marvel; ABC: Docklands in the authored part, Marvel in the Opta boxscore (1); Reuters: Docklands; AAP: Marvel 1, 2); Optus: Marvel; FTBL/The Women's Game: Marvel (1, 2)
SBS don't seem to have covered the match(?!).
Internationally, UK Metro: Docklands; AFP: "Melbourne"; doesn't refer to the stadium by name; Associated Press: "Melbourne", doesn't refer to the stadium by name (1, 2); Irish Examiner: Marvel; L'Equipe: Marvel (1, 2). Still seems inconclusive, leaning Marvel domestically but inconsistent internationally. -Socccc (talk) 16:58, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Usage follow-up 

message: I do not believe it is correct to say this Stadium was built as a replacement for 'Waverley Park'. It may have become so, but originally it was part of a 'News Media' project to enhance/increase its engagement with Rugby League and was initiated as a host venue for a Melbourne team. This is why there is, or was in earlier days, issues about the 'north-south' layout of the AFL format because planning was begun without thought for AFL. Ultimately AFL recognised that this stadium would be (likely to be) a state-of-the-art facility and wanted in. Progressively News Media stood back from an interest and the AFL took on the Stadium. 2001:8003:4230:A500:35A8:4373:188D:CBD1 (talk) 02:38, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
