      Use of Field hockey

      It is standard here on wikipedia no matter what event it is to list if its ice or field hockey. See [[1] Intoronto1125TalkContributions 01:35, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

      You are so rude, or incompetent at discussion. I already gave you a very relevant example on your own Talk page of a usage of just "Hockey" for a Commonwealth Games page (Venues of the 2010 Commonwealth Games), but you ignored it. Now that you have brought this to a wider audience, let's bring my points here too...
      Ice Hockey is a very minor sport in the Commonwealth (apart from in your country, Canada), and when someone in Australia (or the rest of the Commonwealth) says or writes "hockey" they mean what Canadians know as "field hockey". Just to be sure, I checked the two obvious external sources, as we're supposed to do here. Both the Commonwealth Games Federation and the website for the 2018 Games use ONLY the name "hockey". Here is the relevant text from the second site....
      "The existing home of the Gold Coast Hockey Centre at Keith Hunt Park, Labrador will be upgraded to host the Hockey competition for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The redevelopment of the venue will provide for three all-weather synthetic pitches and will include seating for 5,000 spectators. The redevelopment will establish the Centre as Queensland’s premier Hockey venue, providing a valuable, world-class competition and training venue for current and future athletes and the Gold Coast City community."
      To be fair to Canadians, the only Commonwealth residents likely to be confused, and folks from non-Commonwealth countries, it's OK to indicate that it's what you call field hockey that we're talking about, and that's what the text you just reverted did. You really must broaden your knowledge and do some research. HiLo48 (talk) 01:56, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
      This has nothing to do with the venue! Can you read and understand what I am trying to say? Clearly not! Maybe that is why you claim to think I can't discuss, but in fact you can't read. EVERY multi-sporting event featuring either form of hockey is linked to either ice or field. I mean every. I even provided an example above, yet you can't understand what I am trying to say. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:23, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
      [After Edit conflict] No, it's you who is failing to comment on what others say, and not demonstrating logical thought. You showed one example. That doesn't prove that "EVERY multi-sporting event featuring either form of hockey is linked to either ice or field." I showed an example, a very relevant example because it was for the Commonwealth Games, where it didn't so link, and about which you have failed to comment. It disproves your argument completely, because you made such an absolute claim. And it would be nice if you would spend some more time on this discussion before changing the article again. It is YOU who is edit warring. HiLo48 (talk) 02:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
      1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 this being an event in Australia, 18, 19, 20, 21 :21 and counting examples Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:51, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
      So long as there is one contrary example, such as the one I provided, no list of examples of any size will prove that your preferred form is used in EVERY case. HiLo48 (talk) 02:56, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

      I have no problem with it being displayed as hockey for the obvious reasons, but should it not be linked to field hockey as hockey just links to the broad list of hockey variations? Krazytea(talk) 18:24, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
      As it appears that has been done I think that is the only issue here and has been resolved already. Krazytea(talk) 18:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

      The logo was removed by an IP, because (a) it's outdated, and (b) it's under copyright. Now, (b) isn't an issue since it was included under fair use. With (a), a new file will need to be uploaded, presumably from this website, which doesn't have the words "candidate city". StAnselm (talk) 00:30, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

      I've uploaded a new version of the logo under a claim of fair use. Unfortunately it has a coloured background is a JPG unlike the transparent SVG which was before. If anyone can find a better version of the new logo, please feel free to replace it. Themeparkgc  Talk  00:31, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
