[edit] Scope of article

The article has been made an article about sport in New South Wales, not simply in Sydney, becasue a similar decision was made when taking extra tables out of the Melbourne article - see Sport in Victoria. I believe that "Sport in New South Wales" could grow to become quite a good article, describing sport through NSW with an obvious emphasis on Sydney. There is no point having separate articles for the state and the city in this case. This article in its original form at Sport in Sydney was nothing more than material copied from other articles - either it shoudl be deleted altogether, or made into something worthwhile at this location.

[edit] Mentions of Sydney

While I appreciate Merbabu's intent in removing several mentions of teams based in Sydney from the Major teams section, I prefer the previous version. While it is right for the article to be about NSW as a whole, it is informative to explain where different teams are based. I think it is misleading to not give some idea of the concentration of professional teams in Sydney, as oppsed to the rest of the state. JPD (talk) 13:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

that's fine. my edits were merely trying to shift the emphasis of the article from promoting sydney as a centre of sports. The article is about what teams are located in NSW, but of course, most of these are in Sydney. Your new edit is good. --Merbabu 14:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
