[edit] Purchasing tickets?

Why did someone delete the link to purchasing tickets? If a person stumbled upon this website and wanted to go directly to the ticketing website, I would think a direct link to the ticketing page should be welcomed, not deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Knicks0101 (talk • contribs) 24 May 2006.

Wikipedia is not the place for commercial links, and is not here to promote other websites. Please see WP:EL and WP:SPAM. Thanks --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 13:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I am just trying to make it more convenient for the customer to purchase tickets. It (wikipedia) certainly is here to promote other websites, as it links to something on almost every single page I've ever looked at. However, reading over everything, I agree that you are correct. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Knicks0101 (talk • contribs) 24 May 2006.

Articles are not meant to make it easier for a reader to buy something. Articles are meant to give information about a subject to the reader. Think about a paper encyclopedia - would you expect to open up the Encyclopedia Britannica and find a phone number for TicketMaster in an article about the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra?

External links are intended solely to provide readers with additional useful information that is not appropriate for the article for one reason or another.

If you find other links that don't fit the guidelines for External links, you can always be bold and remove them yourself! That's the beauty of Wikipedia --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 14:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SI Yankee lineage?

What is this teams pre-Staten Island franchise history? It is NOT the Oneonta Yankees (which was the NY Penn team that the Yankees were affiliated with before moving to Staten Island). The Oneonta franchise remains in Oneonta, now affiliated with the Tigers.

Were the 1999 SI Yankees an expansion team? I think that needs to be addressed in this article. Milchama 11:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
