Talk:York Park

message: Here is an article which was in The Examiner on Sep 3. Could be useful as a source.
The URL is http://www.examiner.com.au/story.asp?id=359597 , but since the site is pay to access, I will reproduce the content here in case any editors want to make use of it - of course don't insert it verbatim into the article, make sure you add the article to references, and delete it from the talk page when done ASAP. -- Chuq 12:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The Examiner article

message: I suggest this page be moved to York Park as per the (sort of recent) moves of Stadium Australia and Docklands Stadium.  Comments?  -- Chuq (talk) 13:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Just a note here that the article name has been changed after consensus was reached at Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians%27_notice_board/Archive_28#Stadium_naming and Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians%27_notice_board#Stadium_naming_pt_2.  Please see those discussions for full rationale. -- Chuq (talk) 00:30, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page name 

message: Found an article in the local newspaper(online) I don't have time to write something up, maybe someone else can, should be some good information hereStony (talk) 05:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Would you believe I just did a major update/restructure of the article and didn't take either the article you posted above, nor the article I posted at the top of this talk page years ago, into account?  I'll see what I can do if no-one beats me to it! -- Chuq (talk) 04:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks good, maybe you could create a new page for the events, so as to clean up the main page?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stonyisalegend (talk • contribs) 06:48, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been unsure what to do about those - I'd prefer deleting them rather than making a separate article - no other stadium has such a historical record of events and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.  I think I'll delete the VFL ones, make a summary of the AFL games each year in the Aussie rules section, and make a new association football section with the A-League details. -- Chuq (talk) 10:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: More updates and restructuring today.. and I *still* haven't got to Stony's article! -- Chuq (talk) 13:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I have added the final few tidbits of info from the article Stony provided.  The article is looking pretty good now! -- Chuq (talk) 07:13, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Page name done, and I've made a stub for North Launceston Football Club to get rid of those annoying red links!  GAR time! -- Chuq (talk) 08:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

    * Ike & Tina Turner concert
    * Billy Graham evangelical performance
Where on earth would you get that from? Aaroncrick (talk) 03:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Examiner article at the top of this talk page.  I notice the reference is broken though since the Examiner website changed the way it names pages now, I'll try to find the correct one and fix it.  -- Chuq (talk) 03:57, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed -- Chuq (talk) 04:05, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Well I suggest you take it up with the author of that newspaper article.  Considering they interviewed the ground manager I would expect that would be a pretty reliable source.  What makes you so sure that they haven't? -- Chuq (talk) 11:29, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Other Events

message: I read on the Launceston City Council that the stands name has changed, but i can't find the name change on any other site. Should it be kept at Eastern Terrace. Aaroncrick (talk) 10:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I found the Terrace name: link. It's located at the bottom of the page. Aaroncrick (talk) 10:19, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Eastern Terrace (Launceston Tamar Valley terrace)

message: Is the article worth B-Grade listing? Aaroncrick (talk) 07:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Quality

message: The following sentence in the lead puzzles me -
The ground has only been used as an international sports venue since the turn of the century.
* Which century - 2000, or 1900? It would be better to provide the year eg 2001 (or whatever). 
* The word only is ambiguous and misleading.  Is the ground now exclusively used as an international sports venue, or was it first used as an international sports venue in year ****?
I know I'm being picky, but I would love to see the article get to GA Shelbypark (talk) 01:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I've started fixing these issues. Aaroncrick (talk) 04:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article really needs a good copy-edit but thats probably not going to happen. Aaroncrick (talk) 07:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I've listed the article for GAN a couple of weeks ago, so hopefully the process gets completed soon. Aaroncrick (talk) 09:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: GAN

message: I've added a sub section titled 'Hall of Fame' - I thought it was significant enough to include.  My only problem is that I can't find any evidence of the actual, physical Hall of Fame being planned for or built.  Nor can I find any evidence of it being 'put on hold'.   Can anyone help out on this one?    Shelbypark (talk) 07:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember hearing a bit about it a few years ago but i haven't heard anything since. Aaroncrick (talk) 07:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Hall of Fame

message: Just some initial notes on the article
* The lead needs work. Per WP:LEAD it should summarise the article. At the moment it doesn't discuss the history, structure, crowds sections etc.
* Not a point for the GA review but the map would be good with a scale
* Is there a reference for the average AFL attendances ?
* Given the "Transport" section is so short, consider incorporating it into the Structure and Facilities section

replies: text: Thanks for noting these issues. I've since addressed these, although I'm not sure if the lead reads too well..? Aaroncrick  (Tassie Talk) 11:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tenants 

message: A "few weeks" of copy editing before it should be proposed for FA again. Sounds easy enough.
"The ground's record attendance is 20,971, recorded in an AFL match between Hawthorn and Richmond on 18 June 2006. This match occurred before the Northern Stand was damaged, decreasing the stadium capacity." Jumped out. This could read like the decreased capacity was related to that particular match's attendance.
Maybe something like: The ground's record attendance is 20,971, recorded in an AFL match between Hawthorn and Richmond on 18 June 2006. This match occurred before the Northern Stand was damaged, decreasing the stadium capacity.[53] An AFL match between Hawthorn and St Kilda on 8 August 2009 saw a capacity (add: the first ever sell-out?) crowd of 20,011—the largest crowd since the fire reduced the stadium's capacity.[53][54] The stadium's lowest AFL attendance is 12,465, recorded in a match between St Kilda and Fremantle on 3 April 2005.[52]
