Copyright
editNot sure why it's tagged for copyright. Everything on this article was from the Portland Timbers Wikipedia pages. So unless one of those related club pages have a copyright infringement, this wasn't done intentionally. Twwalter (talk) 00:22, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Three Timbers Clubs
editThere have been three different Timbers' clubs. This article gives the impression that all three were the same franchise. The coaches and ownership tables need to be separated to reflect that. Also, this article reflects WP:Recentism. KitHutch (talk) 14:47, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- There is no consensus on this issue on Wikipedia and should be the providence of the page creators, not some disinterested entity with an agenda. The way the team is portrayed is verifiable in the media, which according to Wikipedia's standards is what should count but only doesn't because Wikipedia doesn't have any mechanism to enforce and properly mediate between subjective and objective arguments. This is especially true in less regulated and ancillary topics like sports and entertainment. If this were a physics topic, it would be much more tightly mediated. The only place where this idea is ruthlessly applied are on the MLS articles for whatever reason, yet there are examples of clubs in other sports and leagues where the club's history is allowed to be portrayed as the owners of the franchise and it's history want it portrayed. This idea is only pushed by a cabal of Wiki editors. There are exactly zero articles or references by MLS or the Timbers that state anything about needing to separate Portland's history into distinct group. Hopefully in a decade or so when all of the idiots on this Wiki Project tire and lose interest this will go away. unak1978 09:34, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
