The Tradition[edit]
The PGA Champions Tour golf tournament is no longer held in the Phoenix area.
Questionable/Incorrect content[edit]
The article states; "When the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, Mexico sold its northern zone to the United States..."
In your article on the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War, it is stated that Mexico ceded the territory to the United States. Yes, the United States did pay Mexico $15 Million, but it was not what would be considered a sale of territory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.166.201.167 (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Mayor's political affiliation in infobox[edit]
Phoenix city council elections, including that of the office of the mayor, are nonpartisan. Shouldn't the political party affiliation of the incumbent mayor be omitted in the infobox to reflect the nonpartisan nature of the office? Shereth 16:56, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Nicknames[edit]
Hi. The two new names which were just added, replacing the long-standing nicknames of "Valley of the Sun" and "The Valley" are not valid nicknames. P-Town and Bird City are cited from a non-reliable source, and are not widely used. Arizona's Urban Heart is a branding attempt by the city, and not a nickname. As the citation points out, other branding attempts in the past have failed to catch on. Regarding the two long-standing nicknames: Valley of the Sun is so synonamous with Phoenix, that there is a redirect on Wiki when you type in Valley of the Sun to the Phoenix Metro area, which is the more common usage of the nickname, but can also be used for the city of Phoenix as well, and is very well-documented. Just a few recent usages: here, here, and here. There's literally thousands. Same with The Valley, which has been used in the Republic, New Times, CBS, NBC... the list is long.
