Talk:Adelaide Oval

message: Agree with the person below. This article is a poor article, a really poor article. Just by reformatting a couple of things in the space of ten minutes, the Introduction is far more polished and looks like the beginning of a well written article. With everyones help, this article could be one of the best on Wikipedia- thoroughly deserving to a ground of this stature. Let's pick up the slack, guys.

thread_title:  Complete article re-structure 

message: This article is in need of some proper structure and research. The majority of the article is a laundry list and the final section, which isn't, appears to be a political pov.  Much of the current History section is trivial statistics and there is really very little information about the actual ground or its features, such as the iconic scoreboard. The article has excellent photos of this and other aspects, but they are largely wasted. The current work at the ground will not only change its seating capacity and facilities, but the very size and shape of the playing field, so if there is enough history to be added, then it should be structured so that obsolete information is not deleted as new developments occur.

thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: Right, I created the little layout dealio but was wondering if someone has/could make a diagram to show the location of the stands around the oval (or maybe an aerial picture from straight above would do). Please fix formatting ...

thread_title:  Layout of the oval 

message: It is mentioned in the history article that in the 92/93 season vs. West Indies that Courntney Walsh's delivery brushed Craig McDermott's glove.  I would debate that.  The umpire ruled that Craig McDermott was out caught behind, but in fact the delievery brushed the peak McDermott's of his helmet and was incorrectly given out.  I remember this very clearly, and the video replay proved this. Oz Juice24 (talk) 00:02, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: From the layout discussion above, it appears as though this section has been formatted such since 2006. I'm not sure about anyone else but I find this technique of image formatting highly untidy and you'd be hard pressed to find a layout like that anywhere else on Wikipedia. I think an image gallery is of higher priority than a layout of the oval, so I will go about placing the images in one and possibly looking into a layout diagram as suggested in an above discussion. We should probably be looking to model this article on something like the Melbourne Cricket Ground or the Lord's Cricket Ground articles. --timsdad  (talk) 12:54, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Layout section 

message: The state government redevelopment section at the bottom of this article has issues in all three areas for what should be fairly obvious reasons. If I can find some time for it I may work toward improving it, but if others can step in that would be great. Timeshift (talk) 01:39, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been 18 months and the section is still a joke. The section provides a bare bones discussion of fact coloured by a minority viewpoint, and a very small minority at that. The majority viewpoint and controversies regarding the redevelopment are explained in a single sentence: "Other small complications are still ahead, but should be easily passed." Very easily passed indeed, against council opposition, public opposition and a 7 - 2 majority vote by the Parklands board the government set up a commission to decide if a historic avenue of trees, which the government promised in writing to protect, would be bulldozed to make way for expanding a carpark. Unable to get a majority decision, the commission voted to defer the question. An emergency meeting was announced and held the next day for which only four members attended and the four voted to axe the trees which was done before the public was informed of the decision. This is typical of the significant controversies regarding every aspect of the entire development which is viewed by the general public as vandalism and public money being spent for private gain. There is also not a single word about the Torrens riverbank redevelopment and the casino which is an integral part of the Adelaide oval redevelopement. Wayne (talk) 13:13, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Based on the just added very long tag and the GA review, I think it's clear that a lot of the stats in the article just need to be excised. We don't need five different tables of attendance records. We don't need a list of every international soccer match. We don't highest scores by quarter in the SANFL. I feel like the stats could pretty much all be removed, and some of them replaced with prose if they're actually important. I wanted to mention it here before going ahead and doing it. Does anyone object to this idea? OliveYouBean (talk) 04:15, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: About time someone had a crack at this. Only suggestion - don't delete stats outright, just fork to a separate list article. "List of Adelaide Oval sporting records" or something. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 01:07, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
