== External links modified ==
==POV tag==
Hello fellow Wikipedians,


I have just modified 2 external links on [[Manchester Arena]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=783183555 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
Chunks of this read as though they were written by someone responsible for marketing the MEN Arena. As such, I've inserted a POV tag until these sections are resolved. [[User:Majabl|Matthew]] 00:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
:Other than one or two points, I would say that the article was pretty accurate, rather than marketing. Many of the points made talking about the success of the arena are true, and should be included. Though are are no criticisms of the arena in the article, I can find no evidence myself there are any major ones, and I feel that the article overall giving the impression the arena is a huge success in a correct one.

::It's the lack of citation behind rather grandiose language that makes it read as it does. For instance, from the introduction:
::* 'has remained one of the most structurally advanced venues on the continent'
::* 'first large venue in Europe to follow the traditionally American arena layout of 360 degree seating and its style has been a prototype for many other arenas in Europe such as the Kölnarena in Cologne, Germany'
::* 'The building of similar venues across Europe depended on the success of the MEN Arena'
::* 'because of the success of the MEN Arena since opening, venues such as Sazka Arena in Prague, Color Line Arena in Hamburg, The O2 in Berlin have been built or are under construction'
::* 'seating capacity is one of Europe's most dynamic in terms of variation'
::* 'the arena's size and layout makes the venue ideal for any type of performance'
::etc.
::In addition, the list of notable stars to perform there hasn't yet hit 1,000; I'm disappointed by my fellow Wikipedians. ;-) [[User:Majabl|Matthew]] 22:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

== Orphaned references in [[:Manchester Arena]] ==
== For Deletion ==
I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:Manchester Arena]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

The O2 Arena is generally regarded to have overtaken the MEN in terms of ticket sales - though I can't find a nice concise reference about it for 2008 sales; the way this article reads suggests the MEN still sells more...

If anyone wants to move this page, then it should have been put to an RM first not just moved on a whim.

Orphaned references in Manchester Arena

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Manchester Arena's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
