Media

The name isn't likely to stay that way much longer. However, I have yet to see anyone in the Nashville Media refer to the building as anything other than the Gaylord Entertainment Center. --jwhouk 02:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Improper move

I bumped into this site by accident, and discovered it had been moved to Nashville Arena via cut-and-paste. I have no interests either way as to what name the page is under, but it should be moved properly (by an admin), so that the edit history remains with the article. See Help:Moving a page for further information on proceedures for moving or renaming a page. Thanks. - BillCJ 07:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page move

Please wait until March 16, 2007 to move this page to Nashville Arena. The arena doesn't change its name until that date. See: http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com/index.cfm?section_id=9&screen=news&news_id=55008 Thank you. --Zpb52 23:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, that's in four hours! (Actually right now, Zulu time). I'm not some over-eager fanboy, but a serious editor trying to make sure this move gets done right. I made several other changes to page that just the name, including expanding the text in several places. If you make the move, I'd appreciate it if you'd use that diff. Thanks.

In addition, I asked an admin to make the move, including telling him the arena naming was tomorrow. He evidently agreed with my reasoning. - BillCJ 00:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bad link

The link to the story about the planned new scoreboard gets this message: "Error: Invalid story key (DN,20070112,SPORTS02,701120420,AR)." The link needs to be updated or removed--and if it's removed, the comment that it links from needs to be deleted. 4.243.146.55 06:06, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Or, a new link can be found, ot at least a {{fact}} placed. Will look into it after my sleep period. - BillCJ 07:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Sommetcenterlogo.PNG

File:Sommetcenterlogo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Short description revert

Hi BilCat, please do not revert wholesale all the changes in an edit simply because you disagree with one small aspect of it. This is unnecessary and disrespectful. Also, try not to be rude in your summaries. While I agree with you that the s/d is meant to be kept brief, this doesn't mean you should remove important explanatory words from it. The short description currently on the article not only repeats a word already in the title (arena), but it doesn't provide sufficient information, in my opinion. For example, why do you not think it's important to mention what city in Tennessee the arena is in?! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 20:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My edit summary was terse, not rude. I try to keep them short too. BilCat (talk) 20:37, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BilCat you have not addressed the points I made above: "While I agree with you that the s/d is meant to be kept brief, this doesn't mean you should remove important explanatory words from it. The short description currently on the article not only repeats a word already in the title (arena), but it doesn't provide sufficient information, in my opinion. For example, why do you not think it's important to mention what city in Tennessee the arena is in?!" Please do so instead of deflecting. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 22:35, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing the nicknames

The infobox here lists two “nicknames” for the Bridgestone Arena, both with a [citation needed] tag.

I’m able to find a few oblique references to the “Smashville” name on the venue’s website, in event announcements and press releases:

Additionally, I see one on a local news site: https://fox17.com/amp/sports/inside-smashville/smashville-throws-free-outdoor-viewing-parties-for-preds-playoff-games-nhl-stanley-cup-playoffs-tennessee-nashville

Do any of these rise to the level of a good Wikipedia source?

For the “Tire Barn” name, I’m coming up short, aside from some random blog posts. Perhaps that line should just be removed.

Scoott2016 (talk) Scoott2016 (talk) 01:05, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From a local, it’s Smashville. I mean look at the main photo, it says it there ItsDankin (talk) 02:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Tire Barn is a reference to bridgestone, which is a tire company. People don’t really call it that though ItsDankin (talk) 02:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I've removed the "tire barn" nickname and added an NHL blog post as corroboration for the "smashville" one https://www.nhl.com/predators/news/this-month-in-smashville-history-march Scoott2016 (talk) 16:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
