Assessment comments
The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit ° history ° watch ° refresh) Did anyone else notice the typographical error in the sentence: "It is of note that the plural form of bison is also bison. The team's gramatical error is most likely due to the intellegence of the same marketing department that came up with the aforementioned mascot plot lines." I found it funny that this comment, that was obviously a shot at the bizarre plot lines of team mascots, mispelled the word "intelligence", of all words. And dictionary.com lists both plurals of the word "bison" as either bison or bisons. One could argue the necessity of that entire sentence. Vinchete 13:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC) |

[edit] Ice hockey?
Why did this have the ice hockey template?--Kevin 19:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
there used to be a minor league hockey team named the buffalo bisons
[edit] Stub?
Why is this article a stub? I think this has sufficient information without it being labeled a stub. If you're going to label it period, maybe it needs to be cleaned up a bit. --Kevin 19:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Franchise history
Does anyone know the lineage of the *current* Buffalo Bisons franchise (including the leagues they were in)? --Leshii 14:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
And does anyone realize that the article points out 7 championships before 1979, but says basically nothing at all about the Bisons pre-1979? Even though the article says "The current incarnation of the Bisons was founded in 1979", it comes off really weird without ever saying anything more about the Bisons pre-1979 history. Anyone know anything about the older Bisons?--24.169.143.244 22:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Agree with above
This does need to be cleaned up. There should be at least three different articles rather than the one long article. The current Bisons were the Wichita Aeros, already a AAA team when they moved. So the 1979 team either moved or ceased to exist, making the statement cited by Leshii incorrect.
Most other teams who moved are treated as the same team and refer back to previous versions in other cities.
There is a lot of confusion with minor league baseball teams and relocations. Each city wants to treat teams exclusively as its own with no prior or subsequent history.Theknightswhosay 19:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
