The Tradition

The PGA Champions Tour golf tournament is no longer held in the Phoenix area.

Name of article

Aren’t large cities usually referred to by just the name of the city? E.g. Chicago is ‘Chicago’ not ‘Chicago, Illinois’? Loveking2019 (talk) 16:02, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is another article with that title, a disambiguation page. So it can't be called just Phoenix unless consensus changes such that the city is the primary primary topic. MB 00:21, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Potential relevant discussion

Hi, there is a discussion Talk:Phoenix (folklore)#Requested move 22 October 2019, which might be of interest to pagewatchers of this page. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Climate

Seems a bit odd that the UV peaks in July, even though June has clearer skies and the sun is in the sky for more hours per day in June. I dont know if UV index is a measured quantity or if it is just estimated. —Soap— 22:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Demographics map

I dont know if I did this right. Dont lampoon me if I didnt.

I have lived in Phoenix since I was 3. I have driven literally hundreds of thousands of miles around the city. I know the entire Metro area like the back of my hand. But I can't make heads or tails out of the map showing income demographics. It makes absolutley no sense. There are no obvious roads or freeways. No land markers of any kind to tell you what you are looking at. I get it. It's a zip code map. But seriously it makes no sense. It needs to be changed or removed. I realize income inequality, despite it being BS, is important to some people. Best I can tell I live in a dark green square. Go me. Anyways, this type of information is a waste of all of our time. No reference points. No actual data. Nothing.

I don't arbitrarily remove things. I try to offer my 2 cents about things I actually know about. This section needs a new map or needs to have the current map deleted. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sickboy254698 (talk • contribs) 04:32, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
