Philadelphia Municipal Stadium

According to Chapter XXX ("MUNICIPAL STADIUM") on pages 419-423 of the Exposition's 520-page official record entitled "The Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition" by E.L Austin (Director-in-Chief) and Odell Hauser (Director of Publicity) published in 1929, the official name of the stadium when it opened in 1926 was "Philadelphia Municipal Stadium" and not "Sesqui-Centennial Stadium."

"The Municipal Stadium erected within the grounds of the Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition and the scene of many of its most colorful events will long remain not only as a memorial of the Exposition but as a substanial contribution to the facilities of the city for staging large outdoor events and athletic games." "The Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition" by E.L Austin and Odell Hauser; Chapter XXX ("MUNICIPAL STADIUM") p. 419 Centpacrr 10:17, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:WachSpectlogo.jpg

Image:WachSpectlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Wrestling content

The wrestling content in this article is all but pointless and should be allowed to be removed, regardless of the objections of wrestling fan kids who put it into every artcle they can and try bulling those who object to it. Paul Harald Kaspar (talk) 00:27, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The content about guys who act like they're fighting is beneath sections on people who can throw a ball and people who can hit a puck (and fight). I see no reason why the wrestling content is any less important than the basketball or hockey.--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Exactly, and as I had mentioned before, its not like we are talking about some Backyard Wrestling Group, its the WWF/E, which is defently something. I can understand taking out something listing every house show and televised Monday Night Raw/Smackdown (though making note that such events happen are ok), but Pay-Per-Views, and really, large orginizations like the WWF/E, WCW, etc. holding events there are ok. Even if most of the article was wrestling in general in the arena, and the rest being very little about hockey/basketball/whatever sport is held in there, I would belive it to still be acceptable, its just that the wrestling aspect has been covered better than anything else.

I also do find the argument however, of wrestling being nothing more than pointless as nothing more than a bad argument. What if there is one thing that Group A considered ok, and Person B, regardless of what most everyone says, claims something to be pointless? That would mean a whole lot of stuff being taken off.

At the least, I would agree with at the most, maybe a note saying that wrestling events were held there, but to delete it because its pointless?

And from what I have said, this is coming from someone (me) who does find wrestling, at least lately, to be nothing more than garbage, but I do at least respect something being mentioned about something being held there, if it is at least notable.

Minor Edit

Hey - in the first line, there's a missing closing bracket (I think) after the years it was called First Union Spectrum - it closes the years, but not the formerly known as statement. I'd probably change the overall enclosure to a comma, like "blah blah, formerly known as First Union Center(year-year)," but it's protected.

If I'm missing something, or did this editprotected thing incorrectly, sorry.

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Spectrum (arena). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
