"LA Knight Riders" listed at Redirects for discussion

[edit ]

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect LA Knight Riders. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 December 18#LA Knight Riders until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:21, 18 December 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

No mention of LA Knight Riders (Teams/Venue)

[edit ]

In the teams/venue section, just FYI I changed "LA Knight Riders" to "Hollywood Master Blasters" since according to this article on Minor League Cricket there is no mention of the LA Knight Riders.

Anyways, cheers. WellThisIsTheReaper (talk) 23:24, 6 July 2021 (UTC) [reply ]

MLC wants to expand to 10 teams, not 8

[edit ]

I disagree with the following reversion: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Major_League_Cricket&diff=1165019080&oldid=1165003556. The source that I added (https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jul/12/major-league-cricket-preview-united-states) says that MLC wants to expand to 10 teams, so that's what the article should reflect. In addition, the sentence "Unlike Major League Football, Minor League Cricket uses privately-owned franchises." under the 'Minor League Cricket' section should not talk about 'Major League Football', but rather 'Major League Cricket'.

MLC Title Dispute

[edit ]

@Xp3337z, @162 etc., and to all those who it may concern: Cognizant announced that it would sign with MLC as its title sponsor. Consistent with other major tournaments in the United States who have title sponsors such as Major League Baseball (or if you wanted to be specific, the 2023 World Series) with Capital One, and even Major League Soccer to an extent. In fact, I think another important point to bring up is the fact that the title sponsor in question may not necessarily "stick around", and may very well leave the league given a couple of years. This was seen in possibly the most direct comparison to MLC, Minor League Cricket, wherein the title sponsors varied from season to season. As such, it only makes sense to note the tournament’s title sponsor in that particular season (like at the 2024 season article) and inside the body of the larger article (in this case, MLC). Feel free to share your thoughts here! --WellThisIs TheReaper ^Grim 02:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

The four major sports leagues in the United States do not have a title sponsor, merely a group of sponsors, or a tiered model. Moreover to your example, the World Series is not the competition itself, nor does Capital One represent the league. I can point it to you like this, if Capital One was the Title Sponsor of MLB, firstly, it would read as "Capital One Major League Baseball" and secondly, the World Series logo wouldn't have the Capital One logo underneath it as a presenting sponsor, the Capital One logo would appear as a tiny logo above the MLB logo. This might be a word soup, but long story short, none of the four major professional leagues in America have title sponsors. With Minor League Cricket, the naming style is already custom, there should be no problem with MLC's naming style either, as it follows suit of almost every major cricket league and other sports leagues format when it comes to formatting title sponsors on Wikipedia. Whether or not a sponsor sticks around, (see EFL Trophy) it is not a matter of whether or not a contract length comes into play. Either way, Cognizant is ever-present in the sponsorship world, but that is of other discussion.

Hope I make some sense here!! --- Xp3337z (talk) 03:38, 22 June 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying! --WellThisIs TheReaper ^Grim 17:22, 22 June 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

– WP:CONSISTENCY with literally every other cricket tournaments / editions across the world (international, domestic, regional all of them, except BBL). Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 15:14, 18 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Some examples:

Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 15:14, 18 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Oppose Sports competitions in the United States are known as seasons, and that's what reliable sources use too. [1] [2] 162 etc. (talk) 17:32, 18 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
Oppose. This is a WP:TIES issue, where this terminology is in American English, as both Major League Cricket and Minor League Cricket are in the United States. In that case, WP:TIES overrides WP:CONSISTENCY (for example compare 2024 Major League Soccer season in the U.S. versus 2024–25 Premier League in England). Zzyzx11 (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
@Zzyzx11: WP:TIES doesn't apply here because these are not series but editions. British English term "series" is "season" in American English, but for "editions" its also "editions" in American English (Cambridge dictionary). So, it doesn't make any sense to use different pagenames... Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:19, 23 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
Yes WP:TIES definitely does apply if the majority of American reliable sources covering these sports competitions use "season" instead of "edition" as 162 etc. has suggested in their comment above, even if it may be viewed as "incorrect" by Cambridge University and other parts of the world. Overall, it appears that "edition" in American English is rarely used in such a sports context, while "season" is more commonly used. Zzyzx11 (talk) 20:10, 23 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Oppose. Counter example: 2024–25 Big Bash League season </MarkiPoli> <talk /><cont /> 09:11, 23 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
