Article abandoned?

Obviously nothing happend at the Dome/O2 since 2008 except the Olympics? Or nobody cares? This discussion page is 90% about renamimg, merging, splitting and moving, which is of absolutely no interest to readers, but key information is just missing. A typical case of the WP community navel-gazing - discussing unnecessary things instead of working on an encyclopedia? 47.71.2.160 (talk) 08:14, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the Dome as was (or should we call it "the white elephant"?). Recent events should be covered in The O2 Arena. --kingboyk (talk) 04:34, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing and references are terrible

I was hoping to 'borrow' a few citations for another article and have discovered that the referencing here is pretty awful - some poor sources, some references poorly formatted, and important parts of the story on the background and the political debate about whether it should be built and who should pay for it are missing, or present but not referenced at all. --kingboyk (talk) 04:32, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Missing detail in the intro

The introduction to the article includes this paragraph: "In a 2005 report, the cost of the Dome and surrounding land (which increased to 170 acres from the initial offering of the 48 acres enclosed by the Dome) and managing the Dome until the deal was closed was £28.7 million." I'm not sure what's missing, but something is missing from the middle of that sentence. The cost of the Dome and land...was what? what deal is it refering to? I'd check the original source but there isn't one, and I don't know enough about the topic to guess at what's missing. Danikat (talk) 17:20, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
