Quadrangle

[edit]

I removed the "information" because Wikipedia rules require reliable, notable sources - comments by un-named fans on blogs etc. are not considered suitable.

For example, if say, Ally McCoist was referring to Rangers hunt for four trophies as a "quadrangle", that's verifiable and notable, but a comment by a fan on a blog is not. Put another way, if Walter Smith says reaching the UEFA Cup final is the highlight of his career, that's verifiable and notable, but if some Rangers fans in a pub in Cessnock say it's the best thing that's ever happened, that's not verifiabe or even notable.

Another reason is because winning the domestic treble and the second tier cup is commonly referred to as "a quadruple", not "quadrangle", while winning the treble and the top tier cup is "The Quadruple".

If you google +quadrangle +Rangers +four +trophies you get 292 hits - the first two are blogs mentioning Rangers fans using the term, and then the rest don't appear to be anything to do with Rangers.

If you google +quadruple +Rangers +four +trophies you get 12,200 hits, and it's page after page of Rangers officials and players (notable , verifiable sources) referring to them going for "a quadruple".

As for me "trolling" Wikipedia "removing info pertaining to Rangers", yes, I do keep lots of articles on my watch list, and sometimes do remove "information" pertaining to Rangers - see for example here, here, here, here, here, here here, here.
