== Largest Arena in Europe? ==


== External links modified ==
Whoever edited it to say that - link to something that doesn't disprove it! If it had said 'largest in the European Union' that would be true, but as St Petersburg is Europe (debate Istanbul if you wish) then that city's arena is the largest arena in Europe, yes?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
:I've actually removed the information altogether, as there are other contenders for this title. The Millenium Stadium, for example, is technically an indoor arena when the roof is closed, and it has a capacity of over 70,000. See [http://www.visitcardiff.com/meet/venues-and-accommodation-search-results/millennium-stadium-p92291 here].

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:
== Arena Name ==
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20090210165419/http://www.smg-europe.com/venue-profile.php?iVenuesId=8 to http://www.smg-europe.com/venue-profile.php?iVenuesId=8
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120715011110/http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1490113_review-casual-kylie-minogue-thrills-the-uber-fans-at-manchester-academy to http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1490113_review-casual-kylie-minogue-thrills-the-uber-fans-at-manchester-academy


When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

==Article location==
Given the recent sponsorship deal and various moves of the page, I thought it might be worth opening a discussion on where this article should be located. I myself am not sure, I don't really think it has a common name as such. I note that some people have already stated that "Manchester Arena" is the [[WP:COMMONNAME|common name]]. However, as far as I am aware, "Manchester Arena" has only ever been used in the last 12 months or so since the MEN sponsorship deal ended. In reality the common name is probably still a variant on the MEN title. However, I fear that moving this article back to [[MEN Arena]] is likely to cause confusion to readers. In the absence of an accurate common name I'm left wondering if the article title should be the official name?

:Didn't know it had changed to the Phones4U Arena! Def. should not be moved to that, per [[WP:COMMONNAME]]. Happy with either the current title or the MEN Arena. See also the requested move on the [[Talk:Rose Bowl (cricket ground)|Rose Bowl article]] and also compare with [[Old Trafford Cricket Ground]], for example.

== Orphaned references in [[:Manchester Arena]] ==
Please could the title of the page be amended to "Phones 4u Arena" as per the venue's new official name? <small>— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/185.12.200.242|185.12.200.242]] ([[User talk:185.12.200.242|talk]]) 11:22, 14 February 2014 (UTC)</small>
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.

Just a friendly reminder for everyone to be careful. While the ongoing events are no doubt tragic, we need to ensure only confirmed facts make it on Wikipedia. We are an encyclopedia, not a news site. My thoughts are with all those affected tonight.

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.
