November 18

[edit]

Association football and big video screens

[edit]
Wow. This is not the average American stadium video screen, by the way.

In American sports stadiums and arenas, big video screens are a standard now. What about over in Europe in the big five football leagues, like the Premier League and La Liga? I don't seem to ever see video screens in European football stadium pictures (though one exception is Arsenal FC's Emirates Stadium). Are they generally just not present? How many of the major teams have them? Comet Tuttle (talk) 17:25, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We do have them, just not that big. They are usually in the corner of the stadium where they are much less likely to obstruct the view and are used to show the score, news flashes from other league games (particularly where some rivalry is concerned), and sometimes slow motion replays. See this for an example. Astronaut (talk) 18:52, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of wrong person

[edit]

The picture of my uncle Curtis R. Lewis is not correct. The one is showing is not of Curtis R. Lewis but has his correct information and description but wrong picture. How can this be corrected?

I assume you mean another Curtis R. Lewis because our article about Curtis R. Lewis has no picture. Perhaps you could tell us which article you mean. Astronaut (talk) 18:58, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
When I looked at that page just now I saw a picture of a Mr Wales. That is very confusing to Wikipedia readers. Sussexonian (talk) 21:16, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You and the OP must have looked at the page during the current fundraising campaign, which showed a picture of Mr. Wales on just about every page. JIP | Talk 20:39, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's only confusing if they don't bother to read the associated text. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots23:23, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't played any of the Mega Man Legends games, so my only help is on item 2: As the Mega Man Legends article says, Capcom is not planning to uncancel Mega Man Legends 3 despite the fan campaign to try to convince Capcom to bring it back. Comet Tuttle (talk) 02:05, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
