Bike Polo Kicks Ass.
I would like to make this entry better, perhaps divided into sections for each city or group, where they could each briefly describe their unique rules, meeting times, playingfield conditions, pre/post game activities etc. Is this appropiate for Wikipedia? Or should I start a bikepolo blog or both?
- That's not entirely appropriate for Wikipedia. If there are regional variations in rules, those are certainly worth noting; however, posts about regional playing times, field conditions, activities, etc., are better placed elsewhere. —No-One Jones (m) 20:17, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I just deleted the particular stuff. It should be more general, if it gets particular, maybe just about the difference between offical international bike polo and the punk-ass courier version that is sometimes called bike hockey.
- i'm suggesting that we fold in the Urban_Cycle_Polo page to this one. "Urban" is not exactly an appropriate name, yet the version of polo described on that page is quickly becoming the dominant one. I propose that this change happens sometime in Summer 2008 --Kjmcw (talk) 19:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC) Urban Cycle Polo should not be merged in with Cycle Polo. There is a clear difference that deserves distinction. This can be furthered by the following quote from the Cycle Polo page which reads: "Cycle polo was officially recognized by the International Cycling Union in 2001. Starting in 2007, a variation of cycle polo so-called Urban Cycle Polo is getting considerable media attention in the USA and Canada. This game is less formal and has rules adapted to accommodate urban environments." LeeAzzarello (talk) 01:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Page name change
The name should change from "urban cycle polo" to "hard court bike polo". Also the "cycle polo" page should stay the same and as it's own thing. Grass polo and hardcourt are very different. "urban" is not the correct word to use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evolve76 (talk • contribs) 01:49, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Inappropriate Materials
It seems inappropriate for Wikipedia to include discussion on 'top players' under the section where the mechanics of the game are to be discussed. This should be removed, or at least put in a new section.
Moving "top players" to new section
It seems inappropriate for Wikipedia to include discussion on 'top players' under the section where the mechanics of the game are to be discussed. Also, there is no support by citation for 'top players' in or around Tallahassee.
