Talk:Milwaukee Bucks

message: As  reverted my cleanup edits, I am proposing that the sections in question be taken care of as follows: The "team firsts" section  rolled into a comprehensive team history article, and delete the unnecessary list of owners in the interest of having a more consistent article style across NBA teams.

replies: text: I deleted the team first section, as it was plagiarized directly from the team website, and am still recommending the owners list be deleted. Etzedek24 (talk) 04:47, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  The list of owners is necessary since there are many individuals that own the team. If it was a group under a certain name then it would not need a section of it own, and a mention in prose would be enough. You should consider starting a discussion at WT:NBA, where it will be seen by more people since teams' talk pages are rarely used for discussions. – Sabbatino (talk) 08:26, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  The list is of minority owners. It has sourcing, but I don't think it's entirely relevant to the page at large, especially with all the redlinking--and I'm not sure of any other team pages that provide a list of minority owners on the main team page. I propose we roll it into a separate list, perhaps List of Milwaukee Bucks minority owners. Etzedek24 (talk) 18:13, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, Edens, Lasry and Dinan are not minority owners. They are the main owners. Secondly, red links should be delinked. As for List of Milwaukee Bucks minority owners – it would fail WP:CSC and would be deleted, so that is not a good idea. Teams' pages are not supposed to be the same. They can have a similar pattern, but surely should not be a mirror of other pages. – Sabbatino (talk) 19:12, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Regarding the colors of the team. I could not find anything about "Good Land" being the nickname of Milwaukee so the color in question should be "Good land green" or "Good Land g reen" (if you will be able to give proof for it being a nickname) as green is a common word. I did find that "Cream City" is the nickname of Milwaukee so the color should be listed as "Cream City cream" since cream is also a common word. Same goes for "Great Lakes Blue" as blue is again a common word and it should be listed as "Great Lakes blue". I do know that Great Lakes is a famous lake chain so there is no need to indicate that for me, because I did not realize that at first so that was my mistake. MOS:CAPS quite clearly says that common words are not to be capitalized. Just because the media (leagues, teams, newspapers, etc.) use strange capitalization (as I wrote in my edit summary – "Head Coach" or "Person X Has Been Hired As General Manager") that does not mean that it should go against the MOS:CAPS policy. – Sabbatino (talk) 17:23, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: If "good land" isn't some kind of proper name, then it'd be "good land green", not "Good land green".  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:08, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:   See above for rationalization on that and other points. Cream City and Good Land are Milwaukee nicknames, therefore proper nouns. Etzedek24 (Would it kill ya to leave an edit summary?) 12:46, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

text: I apologize for the Great Lakes comment, I wasn't sure of where you were from. Good Land is a little waffley because it is commonly assumed to be the Algonquin translation of the city's name, which derives from Wayne's World (see this link). A Google search of "milwaukee the good land" displays local affiliation with the term. Hope that helps. Etzedek24 (Would it kill ya to leave an edit summary?) 18:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well I am not from North America if that is what you are implying. People from Northern/Eastern Europe know geography pretty well. Now getting back to colors, I suppose you are in agreement with the explanations I gave? – Sabbatino (talk) 18:47, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:   Yes, it was not my intention to dispute the common color names, apologies for that. Etzedek24 (Would it kill ya to leave an edit summary?) 19:18, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to point out that sports teams typically capitalize the whole color name if they use proper nouns in their team colors. So it would actually be "Good Land Green", "Cream City Cream", and "Great Lakes Blue".  TNats  3  07:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Teams also capitalize "Head Coach" (or similar positions) or write article title in all caps, or capitalize the first letter of each word in the article title (the previous example by me – "Person X Has Been Hired As General Manager"). Wikipedia has its own rules and they should be followed. It is also funny and strange that a user with no previous interest in the subject just shows up out of nowhere and tries to show that he "knows it better". – Sabbatino (talk) 17:03, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been following this discussion for a while and I have this page on my watchlist.  TNats  3  20:13, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

text: Looks like I did not forbid anyone from editing, did I? And that WP:3O is ridiculous since noone is objecting the capitalization (which is correct) but this user, and there is no dispute as it is stated there. – Sabbatino (talk) 21:12, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Think again. This over-capitalization is directly against everything MOS:CAPS is telling us.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:06, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
