Talk:Eden Gardens

Photo needs replacing

The photo on the page has a caption which says "Floodlights of Eden Gardens". Not really, it shows traffic lights somewhere outside the ground. Anyone got the right image? Moriori 08:34, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

The floodlights are in the distance, one can be seen above the car in the center of the picture. But I agree, this ground requires a much better photo to do it justice. Parthepan 09:44, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

No of ODI and TEST played at Eden garden

The figures shows here are not correct and take from a old article about the venue see here

http://stats.rleague.com/tc/venues/26.html and http://stats.rleague.com/odi/venues/78.html shows some recent stats but are not up to date

Largest apart from...?

Article states that Eden Gardens is largest cricketing facility in world apart from the MCG. Just curious how this "largest" thing is measured. I presume this means the actual physical size of the stadium, because in terms of seating capacity Eden Gardens would seem to be larger than MCG (ie 120,000 vs 100,000). bolshy 03:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick point.

I just can't be sure of that seating figure, it seems high given the picture used to illustrate the ground (look at the difference to the picture of the MCG). I think the ground's capacity may be 120,000 (sitting and standing) but I don't know it still seems high given the attendance figures for recent events. Maybe an Indian cricket fan may be able to confirm this, know where to get some info etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.96.65.142 (talk) 18:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

• the seating capacity is 88,000 and there are 32,000 tickets sold for those who want to stand/squat on the grass and watch the match. That makes for a total of 120,000 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.227.156.156 (talk) 14:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Currently it has a capacity of 90,000 (check cricinfo page on this ground), which is same as MCG. In recent years, Eden was renovated and number of seats has been reduced to increase comfort of spectators.GDibyendu (talk) 14:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Eden Gardens has a capaity slightly larger that the MCG, beacuse it is often advertised as the largest cricket ground in the world. And cricinfo is wrong then, because I am 100% sure that the total (seats+standing)capacity is 100,000+ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.227.156.156 (talk) 11:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Copyright infringement

Copyrighted material was first added to this article in 2005, here. Internet archives confirm its prior publication at this site. To restore it to a point prior to publication of infringement, we'd have to go back to this. I have restored the copyright template to the article to give contributors an opportunity to address the concerns, either by seeking permission by the processes currently set out at the article's face or revising the text in temporary space. An administrator will resolve the matter after 7 days. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:18, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Did you notice that the text is basically on hard facts on the stadium. How can this be a copyright infringement? Anyway, the ip user who had reported this, has shown the site to me also, and I had done some copyedit so that the text is not exactly the same as in the website.--GDibyendu (talk) 13:58, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Please see our copyright FAQ, which addresses a little bit the amount of revision necessary to efface infringement. Also of benefit here may be the Wikipedia essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. The fact that 1864 is when the Eden Gardens Cricket Club was established is not copyrightable, but sentences like "The present Eden Gardens Cricket Club came in existence some time in the year 1864."—present both in the text and the source—are. Revising to avoid infringement means completely rewriting and reorganizing text. Text cannot be duplicated from a copyrighted source except in compliance with WP:NFC, which allows limited quotations for specific purposes. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:18, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I doubt if there is a Copyright Infringement. Facts are facts ... You cannot copy them, can you? I just don't see the need to list this page for copyright infringement96.52.193.72 (talk) 04:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
