Notes

There are way too many stadiums in the USA listed here, where there are much larger stadium from other countries that are ignored -- 86.13.155.120 08:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Part of this is due to the fact that the US simply has a lot of large stadiums. If there are some large stadiums from other countries that you feel should listed, feel free to add them!Patken4 21:03, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Links in headings??

Same query as for indoor arenas: links are contrary to Manual of Style Robin Patterson 00:49, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

And, the same response ... I think there's a fairly sound basis for an exception as far as lists that are divided by geographic boundaries (and particularly those that, like this one, seem to go on forever). --DMG413 00:24, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Splitting list?

New intro predicts a split of this page:

List of stadiums in Africa List of stadiums in Asia etc.

Why so? Do we have to maintain two lists? Please do not. I will add links #internal to this page, hope that will do.

We might need to re-visit this issue. The article currently is at 105K. While the guide is that articles should be 32K, the list is getting very long. Anyone agree? Patken4 02:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Re " Justisfy why a subnational entity could be separated out from the country that it belongs to and make a new entry. This wastes space, create confusion and is silly. " - I've yet to see any valid argument that applies only to Hong Kong and Macao, but not Åland Islands, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, for instance. User:Alanmak has been arguing Hong Kong and Macao are part of the People's Republic of China. This is a fact that no body can deny, as stated in each of the basic laws " inalienable part of the People's Republic of China ". The key issue is that whether these territories should be separately listed, as they do in real-life practices and conventions. — Instantnood 06:07, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Stadia not Stadiums

The plural of 'stadium' is not 'stadiums' but stadia, as per Stadium. The page therefore needs renaming and editing accordingly. I'm not sure how to do this but could someone else assist me, thanks?

Both are acceptable, per m-w.com, dictionary.com, cambridge.org, oxforddictionaries.com, education.yahoo.com, macmillandictionary.com, collinslanguage.com etc. Patken4 (talk) 21:30, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
