Teams in infobox

edit

Tridek Sep, you recently changed the infobox in this page to list Rabobank, Belkin and LottoNL-Jumbo as separate teams (strictly speaking you missed Blanco out!). This is not the way Wikipedia normally lists teams in riders' infoboxes: since these are all the same team with a different sponsor name, they are all listed as one. See Laurens Ten Dam for another Rabobank example, or Peter Sagan for an example of the Liquigas–Cannondale change. I've undone your edit. Relentlessly (talk) 08:29, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Relentlessly, thank you for pointing my attention to this issue. I understand teams change names. Therefore, I think it is preferable to list these different names, rather than mentioning only one. Claiming ‘Rabobank’ is the current team of Jos van Emden seems just wrong. Tridek Sep (talk) 13:19, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Tridek Sep It's a perfectly reasonable point, and I agree with you to an extent, though presenting Rabobank, Blanco, Belkin and LottoNL-Jumbo as separate teams, as your edit implies, is also misleading. It's probably worth raising at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cycling as it is a change that needs to be considered across cycling articles. Relentlessly (talk) 13:26, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
