Hello, I'm Zzyzx11. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Arizona Coyotes, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

"Watching the Glendale City Council meeting via GlendaleAZ.com" is usually considered original research, unless a link to the archived video is provided onto the articles. Per Wikipedia's verifiability policy, other readers like me need to be able to check content on articles. Of course, the alternative is to wait until the local news publishes the stories on their web sites. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:48, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have now found a link to the actual video of the city council meeting, and have added to the arena article. However, I have not changed the rest of the entire article yet, or the Coyotes article, until the press conference tomorrow when the name change is really, really official, and the web site is changed from http://www.jobingarena.com to its new website. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:29, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have restoring the content regarding the Arizona Sting. Also, adding citations are explained on Wikipedia:Citing sources. The reason we have these policies in place is that, since everyone can edit Wikipedia for free, there are unscrupulous people who try to add false information or "vandalism" on various articles. And as I stated in my previous message, I found a link from the City Council meeting, and re-added that paragraph. I would however not change the rest of the article until after the press conference tomorrow when they officially post the new name on the arena itself, change the web site, and so forth. Thanks.

July 2022[edit]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Arizona Coyotes. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 01:24, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How was that personal commentary? It was a factual statement. The Coyotes previously played in 2 professional sized venues before moving into ASU Multipurpose Arena. It was not an opinionated commentary. It was to note the difference in venues. Nothing more. Bigapplemayhem (talk) 05:15, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the Coyotes did not have a bad working relationship with arena officials, it was only with the City of Glendale, where the venue is located. I tried to correct that sentence because it was misleading and incorrect. The Coyotes had a healthy working relationship with AEG, the arena manager.

My apologies. You had written "two previous professional-sixed venues while the franchise has been in Arizona", and I totally misunderstood the meaning. That said, "professional sized venues" is probably too vague anyway, and really doesn't need to be expanded upon in the lead. "Grand Canyon State" won't be well-known to non-American readers, so it isn't helpful either. As to the final change, as long as that's what is in thje sources coted cited, then it's OK. But if it's not in the source, then you'll need to cite a better source, or add an alternative point of view from another source. That might be better discussed on the article's talk page so others can participate in the discussion. BilCat (talk) 07:27, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thank you. I will assure you that I will be sure to note sources correctly and keep everything as concise as possible. Even though I do not live in the Greater Phoenix area, I'm well versed in its sports history and current events. I also have to keep an eye out for anything new to include for the ASU Multi-Purpose Arena page. Bigapplemayhem (talk) 13:30, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Since I created the article, I'm still watching it, and am keeping an eye out for more information, especially a permanent name. At some point, I'll probably stop watching it eventually, as I have no long-term interest in the area or hockey. BilCat (talk) 21:00, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Give it time. Soon the Arizona Coyotes are going to take over as the team in the Valley. They just might keep ya interested in hockey. And yes, if you are able to update it if I don't, I appreciate it. Willing to help you anytime. Bigapplemayhem (talk) 05:10, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
