[edit] Welcome!

Hello, Funnyhat, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Happy editing!

Hi Funnyhat, Oops! I knew that it was Mont Royal and not Mont Real! Dang. I can't believe I made that mistake. I'll go back and change it. Mona-Lynn 02:43, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Comerica smaller size

Your assessment of the "artificial demand" is partially true. Writers have also commented on the move to smaller parks as being due to changing demographics. To be more blunt about it, baseball is not as "important" as it once was, compared with certain other sports. When the NFL started, they rented from the baseball teams. By the 1960s, the baseball teams were sharing with the NFL in facilities that were decidedly more conducive to football. Now they are going their separate ways, the NFL stadiums being larger, and the MLB parks being smaller. The "artificial demand" strategy seems to work, as long as the product is attractive. I wonder how small they would have to make Milwaukee's Miller Park so that demand would exceed supply?

That's the dilemma, the obstructed views. If you look at the old parks, even the original Yankee Stadium, and very observable in Wrigley Field also, you'll see that the lower deck was wide and the upper deck was narrow. That meant a lot of posts in the lower deck. What they have done, in essence, is to swap the lower and upper decks... which is not a good thing, for reasons such as the ones you cite. The real dilemma is that in baseball, there are only so many good seats, and the others are... well, not so good. Wahkeenah 02:46, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Bald Eagle

I somewhat belatedly picked up your change of the name of this species to the American lower case style; there is an agreed convention that bird species' names are always capitalised on Wikipedia (no agreement for other groups, although de facto for eg cetaceans, thanks, jimfbleak 05:11, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
