Kochi Team

The BCCI and the IPL Executive Committee has ruled that the Kocchi Tuskers will no longer be a team. Shouldn't that be reflected on the page?

IPL table

This page need not read like a reading board of what all is controversial about IPL. We can have a seperate page for that. What we really need here is a table listing the winners and runners up for every year with the location, number of teams etc. Let this page look like the EPL or the NBA page please.

Sponsorship

DLF has only been assigned sponsorship only for the tournaments for a period of 5 years. So this sponsorship isn't applicable for the entire marquee in general. Even for coming seasons,the tournament would be called DLF Indian Premier League purely for formal and sponsorship reasons. So please keep the name of the tournament as it is now. Also please do not remove entire (especially the lead section) entirely. If you have certain objections to the content please discuss it here. LeaveSleaves (talk) 04:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, Grant65 has edited away the entire sponsorship section and now those citations have been lost. Can someone retrieve them if possible. The sponsorship section is NOT in violation of Wikipedia policy because it is not flagrant self-promotion. There is, or were, citable sources for the sponsorship of the league. It is in violation of none of Wikipedia's policy. "Advertising. Articles about companies and products are written in an objective and unbiased style. Article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are typically unacceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example). Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Advertising —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.241.215 (talk) 11:59, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

If you think that you can rewrite section in line with the Wikipedia policies, please do so, along with the citations. But do not add only information or spam links otherwise. Thanks. LeaveSleaves (talk) 12:06, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

The relevant section there is: "Those 'promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so." I interpret that as including the main text of articles. The BBC and many other media organisations have similar rules. Sponsors have no intrinsic relevance to any article on a sporting competition or team. While it may be a fact that they are sponsors, it is not a notable fact, i.e. one of vital importance or interest. If, on the other hand, a sponsor become a team or competition owner, or there is some controversy involving the sponsor's relationship to the competition/team, then they would became worthy of mention.

Which brings me to another point: 59.183.241.215 (and similar IP numbers): what is your interest in this matter? I hope it does not constitute a conflict of interest. Grant | Talk 02:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Well if you read this part, where that THREE relevant sentences as opposed to one then you will see why this is relevant.

"Articles about companies and products are written in an objective and unbiased style."

This is firstly not an article on the product and secondly it IS objective. Where is the hint of bias?

" Article topics must be third-party verifiable,"

If you have seen any IPL games (I doubt you are awake till 3/4/5am watching this where you are) or read of this elsewhere in the online media, you will see it is not hearsay and biased. It is third-party verifiable on many sources.

"commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations associated with a topic"

there's a part here that says MAJOR organizations ASSOCIATED with this topic are acceptable. Which part of this fails the Wikipedia test?

Now just because you have a some sort of anti-corporate world-view doesn't mean anything with sponsors is biased. The citations are in place if you see the bottom.

And at any rate if you read the sponsorship SECTION and not just the title headline, you will not it leads up to something. Where the money comes in goes into how the league is funded, how the player purchases are, and where the money is pooled.

unsigned comment added by 59.183.241.215 (talk) 2:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh yes, and by the way, if you see the television rights column you will see that mentions companies and sponsorships. Looks like you didn't bother to read what it says, but was simply put off by the word sponsorship. I know the game is all about eating money these days. 20/20 is not cricket to the connoisseurs of the game. But alas, it doesn't matter what we fans of the truly beautigul game think; It's still happening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.253.213 (talk) 20:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

The only way that sponsors should be mentioned in Wikipedia sports articles is if they have naming rights to a competition or are embedded in the name, as in Pura Cup or Bangalore Royal Challengers.

For an article on a highly-commercialised sporting competition comparable to IPL, see Major League Baseball. There is no mention of sponsors by name. The article on its most prominent team, New York Yankees, mentions a sponsor in 1964, in relation to a material issue, but that is all.

The suggestion that my world view is "anti-corporate" would seem to be a breach of Wikipedia's requirement to assume good faith. Moreover, if I am anti-corporate then so is Wikipedia in general, along with every other encyclopedia, the BBC and other credible news organisations. I ask again: what is your interest in this matter? Grant | Talk 23:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Then have you read the television part? What does SONY have to do it with? if it is not a sponsor. There is an explanation in this paragraph as to how the money is allotted. As for YOUR breach of good faith the suggestiong that I have a conflict of interest would do the same as yours. What is your intesrest in the matter? Suggest you stick to the 2020 tourney down under b/c you don't kjnow, or hear, half the matter in this regard. Have you been to India? Have you ehard a word about corporate relations in the 202?59.183.241.156 (talk) 13:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The rules and style are the same for all sports articles, regardless of country. Sony owns the broadcast rights, which means they have a stake in the governance of the competition. If and only if a sponsor has control some control of the sport (as is normally the case with broadcasters) and this can be supported with a reference, then it too would be worthy of mention. Otherwise sponsors are completely interchangeable and irrelevant, except to themselves and their business associates. Which brings me back to the old question: I have no interest in IPL, apart from being a cricket fan. I guess it's the same for you? Grant | Talk 05:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Sony have a stake in the GOVERNANCE of the competition? Can you back up these unsubstantiated comments anywhere? Furthermore, have you what does the oofficial website and its sponsorship have to do with this? Why didn't you edit this out? 59.183.241.111 (talk) 12:45, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I am reverting edits to an earlier version with no sponsorship info. Please stop reverting/undoing edits in this regard unless the issue is entirely sorted out here. Thanks. LeaveSleaves (talk) 13:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Governance: any company that controlled the broadcast rights would have a say in fixturing for instance. The official website is a commercial product, but it is directly related to this subject. Unlike airlines or beer. Grant | Talk 13:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

what is this? your own defintition? the fixtures are not altered by sony's demands. And if you read the what i said above, the AMOUNT coming in was directly relevant to the league. Kingfisher (not beer, btw. figure out who's sponsoring it) and Pepsi, etc have PAID for this. The passage shows where the funds go and how its directed. READ the passage first !!! 59.183.241.111 (talk) 18:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC) Furthermore, why was the editing sealed at grant65's version of this page? If you see the edit history and discussion, I brought this into discussion while he was merely removing the section till it suited him. See above LeaveSleaves: you said "If you think that you can rewrite section in line with the Wikipedia policies, please do so, along with the citations. But do not add only information or spam links otherwise." You told me to rewrite, where's the violation? I'm showing and arguing why it is relevant. Should we simply say an unknown sponsor paid XX?? Does that make any sense? Does it make Wikipedia look professional? Or is it not a vias on the other side that sponsors are removed for the sake of it. 59.183.241.135 (talk) 18:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

My primary purpose of semi-protecting the page was to decrease the edit war that's going on for quite some time. And as for the version I chose for this is entirely irrelevant, since I'd have suffered similar accusations from other side. So the important point here is to discuss this issue out in a sensible way rather that pointing out each other's mistakes. And also, although I know it's not my position to say this, I'd appreciate if you'd open an account as this would streamline the discussion a lot. Thanks. LeaveSleaves (talk) 18:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Dear Anonymous:

"What is this? your own definition?" No, it's simply standard practice in Wikipedia to mention the owners of sports teams and broadcasters, but not sponsors.

Your attempt to show the broader relevance of the sponsors does not make sense.

"Should we simply say an unknown sponsor paid XX??" No, we should ignore the matter, as is the case with every other sports article in Wikipedia, unless the sponsorship becomes notable for some reason other than the mere fact of its fleeting existence.

"Does that make any sense?" Yes. Consider (for example) the case of sporting competitions that have dozens of sponsors. They would take up a large part of each article, would be subject to constant revision and, I suggest, no-one is interested apart from them and their cronies (breaching not only WP:ADVERT but WP:UNDUE — that something is a fact does not make it encyclopedic).

"Does it make Wikipedia look professional?" Absolutely. Much more than if we indulged the vanity and status of businesses, by including tedious lists of commercial hangers-on. This is, as I have said repeatedly, standard practice not only of Wikipedia, but any other encyclopedia you care to name, and most major media organisations.

"Or is it not a bias on the other side that sponsors are removed for the sake of it?" WP policy is certainly biased against covert advertisements masquerading as articles and undue emphasis.

I have already declared that I have no conflict of interest here. Since you have avoided more subtle questioning — and remembering that such a plethora of IP numbers can be traced with great precision — do you have a conflict of interest that you need to declare?

Grant | Talk 11:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I notice that someone (59.183.252.116 (talk)) has again installed a "Sponsorship" section in the article. Having looked around various sports event pages on wikipedia, it seems that Grant is largely correct that sponsorship arrangements are not generally mentioned, and certainly not in as much detail as shown here, but that TV coverage is often detailed. I suggest that the English Premier League Football article is used as a model for this article (it seems an appropriate comparison) to work off, where the details of sponsorship are not explored, but the main sponsor is mentioned. In the IPL article this could mean that the "Fixtures" and "Sponsorship Rights" are combined into one section called "Competition format and sponsorship". This section could have 2 subsections:

"Competition". This would essentially contain what is currently in the "Fixtures" section, but it could also mention that the top 2 teams will qualify for the Champions Twenty20 League.
"Sponsorship". In this section the only things mentioned would be: the naming rights sponsor (ie DLF); what the total sponsorship pool comes to; and how these funds are distributed.

I also suggest that the "Television Rights" and "Official website" sections become subsections of a new "Media coverage" section (and that the "Official website" section is cleaned up a bit)

What does everyone think? Juwe (talk) 01:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit to the page, which comes with the edit summary "edit to Juwe reccomendation", wasn't quite what I had in mind. The new page is essentially just the old page with this extra sentence:

"For a term of five to ten years the IPL has brought the BCCI a princely sum of $1 billion, making the body even more lucrative than its previous tag that made already made it the richest board in world cricket."

In any case, it might be best to have a discussion here before implementing changes about these matters. Juwe (talk) 00:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, inclusion of sponsors with naming rights in the first paragraph is consistent with some other articles on sporting competitions.

However, I do think that it a separate section devoted to DLF's sponsorship opens the door (again) to a dreary list of companies with no involvement in the IPL, apart from the handing over of a wad of cash. Grant | Talk 03:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Squads

Perhaps the squads should be removed from this page, as they are already present on the individula team pages? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.153.87 (talk) 18:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

2008 Indian Premier League

I have removed the Fixtures section from the article as it discusses primarily the fixtures for coming season. So please add all the relevant information in that particular article. LeaveSleaves (talk) 05:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

A separate article must be created for the 2008 season. All info which can change after this season should move out of this article and into the 2008 season.For eg,if the player signings are for one year we have to move the team rosters to the respective team articles and mark it by year. The NBA article is a decent prototype. The information relating to the LEAGUE should remain on this article everything else should be moved out.this is the only way to keep articles relevant and useful. ajoy (talk) 05:34, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Player Costs

Why are player costs in United States Dollars instead of Indian Rupees? 208.2.17.2 (talk) 15:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

The auction itself used USD as the currency for bidding. The Indian Rupee valuations given by the media are roughly based on currency conversion. LeaveSleaves (talk) 03:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Player Signings

Will auctions for players be held each at the beginning of each season? If so, should this section be on the season article?? - Allied45 (talk) 07:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

As I understand, the player signings are for at least 3 to 5 years. So there won't be another auction soon, unless a lot of new players (particularly from the England team, which currently hasn't allowed any of the players to play for IPL). There is provision of player transfers, but that too won't begin before 3rd season. LeaveSleaves (talk) 08:32, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Even if they don't go in the season articles, I think the list of players would make more sense on each individual team articles. Before the auctions, of course it made sense to list the "pool" of players here, but now they are just duplicated here. -- Chuq (talk) 11:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd partially agree with you Chuq. Although the lists are simply duplicates from original articles (or vice versa), I'd still say they might be an important part of the article in order to signify the auction, which remains an integral part of the league formation. What we could consider is shelving down the list a little. Perhaps remove the information about coaches etc. LeaveSleaves (talk) 11:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Chuq, the list of player signings for each team seems to clutter the page needlessly and obscures more important information. I think the list of players makes more sense on the individual franchises page. If the auction is considered important I'd suggest adding a separate article for the IPL 2008 Player Auction.

National Affiliation

Consistent with other articles within WikiProject Cricket it seems to make sense to refer to the national flags (whether real or derived in the case of the West Indies which I am conscious is a sporting entity rather than a political entity) rather than the flags of the constituent teams such as Jamaica or Guyana as has been the trend of some of the edits to this page.

External Links

Why do you keep removing the link to cricket20 (thetwenty20cup.co.uk) from the site, we are covering the IPL but you keep removing the link

Our site is updated 24 hours a day seven days a week yet you still ink to the Official Site which hasnt been updated in a month, how does that work?

You link to cricinfo so why not cricket20?

Please read WP:EL. thetwenty20cup.co.uk is not a suitable external link for this page; Cricinfo is allowed because it is one of the two go-to sources for cricket, and is a reliable source to boot. This page has been semi-pro'd because of various sites repeatedly adding their own links despite numerous warnings; once the semi-protection runs out please don't attempt to re-add them as they will still be removed and the page potentially protected again.

"Cricinfo is allowed because it is one of the two go-to sources for cricket" According to who, you? cricket20 is the ONLY website dedicated to twenty20 cricket, we have covered EVERY Twenty20 game ever played in international or domestic levels. Why should you decided what links go on the page, We know we are a source for news, we know that when a Twenty20 story breaks people come to our site. I thought wikipedia was open source, allowing people to contribute and giving people fresh information not just the same old same old like linking to cricinfo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.207.62.7 (talk) 21:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I apologise; I phrased it poorly, but the fact of the matter is that Cricinfo & CricketArchive are both reliable for being used as sources and suitable for being linked as an external source. Bear in mind you are referring to it as "we" suggests you have a conflict of interest over the addition of the link - which doesn't really help over it being a suitable addition. Please read the additional guidelines for more information: WP:EL, WP:SPAM. Regards, AllynJ (talk | contribs) 01:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Mohali article title

Shouldn't it be "IPL Mohali" and not "Mohali Twenty20 franchise"? Speedboy Salesman (talk) 09:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

All the franchise articles during their initial stages of development (when their names weren't announced) were titled in the current Mohali article format. In any case it hardly makes any sense to change article name now since the official name would eventually be announced soon enough and you'd have to move the article again. In case you see this change important enough you can also redirect IPL Mohali to the changed article later. LeaveSleaves (talk) 12:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I didnt find any reliable sources in the web that says that the name of the IPL Mohali team is Punjab kings.^[1] and ^[2] use two different names to denote the IPL Mohali team. Unless an official announcement comes from the team owners, I think we should revert the name back to Mohali Twenty20 franchise. CSumit (talk) 07:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Player list

How about removing the players list from the article. It is unnecessary as the information is already duplicated in the team articles. Instead we can have a section explaining how the auction worked, mention the bidding amount for some players and also explain how other players were selected.

If there's consensus on this proposal, then I'll remove the player list. - Aksi_great (talk) 19:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the proposed move for a separate article. Plus I'd suggest that similar lists on franchise articles be also be removed and accordingly incorporated in the said new article.

IPL v ICL - out of the box please

The stand off between BCCI and the Zee Group over the IPL-ICL situation makes me wonder - are they really doing it right? My comments may seem sarcastic or degrading for the ICL but by creating the two leagues, the BBCI and Zee have paved the way for making T20 cricket more competitive. Why cant the two groups consider the two leagues similar to the premier league and the first division in English football. The obvious options would be to have the IPL as the Premier League and the ICL as the first division - going by the quality of players on those leagues. Things like the cities linked to each club could be sorted out because it will also bring in the spirit of derbies. Two clubs from the same city would be a great treat to watch with their respective batch of fans. I suppose that the two parties will one day come to this agreement. And imagine what could have happened had they done this already. The Hyderabad team from IPL - Deccan Chargers would be in the first division (relegated) while the Hyderabad Heroes from ICL would have been in the premier league. Come on guys, please think out of the box. We want to see both the ICL and the IPL create the same hype and fun. We want both Tony Greig and Ravi Shastri do commentary for a match. We want to see SRK and Mithunda fight for supremacy in the Kolkata derby. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.70.36.42 (talk) 15:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Global Following?

the article about global following is extremely biased, ipl is not that popular internationally, in australia and england the only ppl who follow it are indian students.

How does the auction system actually work?

I don't really know anything about the IPL (heard it mentioned and came to this article) and whilst I understand that some sort of auction for players happens, the article didn't really explain how it works. This is the sort of thing that's probably obvious to people who follow the IPL, but for someone like myself, who has never followed the sport, perhaps there could be a brief outline of how the system works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.174.51 (talk) 00:38, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Indian Premier League/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Sarastro1 (talk · contribs) 19:31, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this article is a quite a long way from GA at the moment. The main reason is that there are long sections without any references, and this is a major requirement for a GA. There are also issues of broad coverage as there seem to be some things missing. I have left some general points below, but I would suggest asking for another editor to take a look and maybe copy-edit the article before renominating. Once the issues below are addressed, maybe submit the article at WP:PR for further review.

Referencing

This is enough on its own for the article to fail:

The sections on the first three seasons are all unreferenced. The fourth season section is partially referenced, but not all the facts given have a source; given that these are living persons being discussed, a reference is essential for all claims.
The IPL Trophy section is unreferenced.
The League Organisation section is also partially referenced, but not close to enough to satisfy the GA criteria. Again, most, if not all, facts need a reference. The same for Television rights and sponsorships.

Broad coverage

There is quite a lot missing from this article. These are just some of my suggestions

History: For each season, which teams did well? Which teams did badly? Which team were the favourites? Who were the leading run-scorers, wicket-takers and who topped the tables for strike rate, economy rate, etc? (In other words, who were the star performers?) How popular was it? How many watched it? What was coverage like? What did critics say (and the IPL has had a LOT of coverage!)? If I remember, the second season in South Africa was quite a big deal and there were unfounded worries over its popularity: I think more needs saying on the relocation that year and why there was such a security worry at the time. I also think much more is needed on the corruption scandal in the fourth season.
Does the trophy really need its own section, or could it be merged into the history section?
I like the franchises section a lot; could the text in the table be made larger?
I can't remember if the timeout rule is the same as the mid-innings break. Either way, I remember a lot of criticism in the "conservative" cricket press that this was just an excuse for more adverts. Also, there has been criticism of the over-use of advertising (e.g. DLF Maximum)
Player signings: I don't know how hard it would be (I can't remember how many players are involved for each season) but it may be good to list the player auction results in a sortable table, including nationality, appearances, cost, runs, etc.
I think the table on winnings broadcasters for each nation should go as it does not really add to the article. (Also the table on profits seems a little messed up at the moment)
Global following: Only mentions the UK at present: what about other countries?
What about copy-cat leagues? Something could be said about other countries following (or trying to follow) suit such as Australia.
More could be made of the furore over the ICL: this is briefly mentioned in the lead. What about a "background" section which includes this and how the various parties planned and brought about the IPL?
What about the worries over the effect of the IPL on world cricket and making players choose not to play other forms of cricket (e.g. Chris Gayle)? The press is always running stories about how the IPL will ruin international cricket, Test cricket, ODIs, and just about everything else! This could be covered briefly. Also, the effects on technique and maybe something about how it has influenced cricket shots and tactics. Even what people have said about the quality of play (I've read judgements ranging from amazing to mediocre). What about the opinions of players, journalists, etc.

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
The prose is not quite up to standard, but I have not looked at it closely enough to say that it fails. At the very least, a copy-edit is needed, but I don't think the prose is too far away from OK.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
This is a big problem. Many sections are unreferenced or just partially referenced where two or three sentences are given a ref but not the whole paragraph. As such, without references, most of the article would constitute OR. I have not looked closely at the reliability of the sources.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
I think there are several areas the article should cover which are missing, outlined above. However, the existing content (except for a few parts listed above) seems focussed.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
I'm not convinced by the non-free rationale for the logo, but I'm no expert on this and I think an image expert is needed to decide. However, the 2011 Champions photo is almost certainly not justified and should be removed. It is not a significant photo, the photo (as opposed to the event) is not mentioned in the article and it is easily replaceable by another photograph of the team (albeit not at that moment, but I don't believe that precise moment is significant enough to justify fair use.) The fact that the rationale notes the ground was closed to the public suggests the rights holders wanted to protect their copyright.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I have not considered prose or MoS too much and this should also be looked at closely before the article is renominated. When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it have it reassessed. However, I would suggest that the article needs a lot of work before re-submission. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:19, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Working on the Article

I reworded the introduction, as some of it was just a series of facts. Now, it's more in line with the Wikipedia prose style.
I'm intending to look at the rest of the article, although it seems okay at a quick glance.
I think the TV rights table should list countries first, then company, as with 2015 Cricket World Cup. I'm thinking of also splitting the table into 2 tables: Current broadcasting rights (for 2015 season), and previous broadcasting rights. These will be sorted alphabetically by country name (in the case of multiple countries, by the name of the country first alphabetically), and I'll try to find a source for every current deal.

Recent reverts

@Prolix: I have absolutely no idea what the confusion is. You asked me to provide a citation. For what?

IPL is unarguably a city-based franchise league. The franchise owners can name their franchise after the city (like Mumbai Indians), state (like Rajasthan Royals), brand (like Deccan Chargers) or literally anything else. Here is a citation for proof that they are "city-based franchises" [1]. I can provide more citations if you'd like.
It is a fact that IPL was established in 2007 [2].
"usually contested between March and May" is ambiguous. The 2008 season concluded in June, the 2020 season took place between September and November. As an editorial choice, it is better to not mention the months, at least in the lead.
"in India" is redundant in a sentence that says: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India usually contested between March and May of every year by eight teams representing eight different cities or states in India. I can obviously not provide a reference for that, but you can take the word of someone who has written GA-quality articles. Dee 03 07:19, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

According to your citation the teams were established by bidding for 8 different cities. However the team names clearly don't reflect that. My current understanding of the teams is that each represents a city, state or a region, so calling it a city based franchise would be inaccurate and would only cause confusion since that's not how the teams are named.
I have already changed the date of establishment to 2007
The IPL IS usually contested during those dates, the two years you mentioned appear to be exceptions and not the norm. Even this year the IPL was scheduled to be held in that time frame until a certain pandemic happened. This is why I added the word 'usually' to the sentence.
I understand what you mean, but I felt that the name of the league should not be used as an implicit implication of its location, once again I may be wrong. Here, the sentence could be rephrased as, "The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India usually contested between March and May of every year by eight teams." That solves the first issue as well since it seems team names don't solely represent cities or states (Deccan chargers for example). But again, I think your initial phrasing would work as well. Do let me know. Prolix 💬 08:08, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Once again, these teams do not represent any city, state or region. They are franchise teams that are simply based in a city and owned by commercial entities. Regardless of what the franchise owners decide to name the team, the franchise is still city-based. Deccan Chargers named their team after their company Deccan Chronicle, that doesn't change the fact that they are a Hyderabad-based franchise. Kings XI Punjab wanted to shift their base from Mohali to some other city, but could not do so [3]. More citations that confirm that these are city-based franchise teams: [4] [5] [6]
Good to know.
Yes, except "usually" was not part of that sentence on the two occasions you reverted me. The current wording "usually contested between March and May", although vague, is a major improvement to the awkwardly worded and factually incorrect "contested during March or April and May." (without "usually"). I'd still not mention the months for the sake of precision, but that would be a subjective editorial decision.
The sentence reads "cricket league in India usually contested between March and May of every year by eight teams representing eight different cities or states in India". One of the usages of "in India" is redundant and needs to go.

Your suggestion is acceptable, although there is room to make it more informative. Dee 03 03:07, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

I think the references you linked clearly demonstrate that the IPL is a city-based franchise. I was unaware of the fact due to the way the teams are named, I think that solves this issue. Please do make this change, add the citations that you linked here and possibly an editor note as well to avoid any confusion.
I feel the months make an important addition and should be left in there for the time being as it seems the IPL will be following the March-May time frame next year as well. [7] [8]
Regarding the phrasing of the first sentence, "The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league usually contested between March and May of every year by eight city-based franchise teams in India." could work but again there's always room for improvement.

Please rework the first two sentences, removing this:

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a men's T20 franchise cricket league of India. It is annually contested by ten teams based out of seven Indian cities and three Indian states.

and adding this instead:

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a men's T20 franchise cricket league in India. It is annually contested by ten teams based out of seven cities and three states.

"of India" sounds awkward (it probably doesn't belong to the Centre, and even if it does, that's not as important as the country where it's located), and since the first sentence says that it's Indian, the second sentence doesn't need to specify that the cities and states are Indian. 120.21.70.156 (talk) 19:00, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Broadcasting

Broadcasting section have very old information, awaful grammar. It should be ce and its table have mis-information many places. Such as in S. Africa Super sports is airing 2023 IPL not Viacom18 Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 13:03, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Gut feeling is to cut the table entirely and replace it with the two sentences that are referenced from it. I'm not sure that this whole section shouldn't be dealt with in the season articles - doesn't this just need one or two paragraphs in it's entirety saying, essentially, "lots of people watch it on television and it's also on the radio and on the internets"? Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:59, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

I removed some uncited rows from the table, plus remv untrue data. The above sections of the table have largely outdated/historical info abt Broadcasting. Its looking like a " history section". It should be cut and selectively merge into History section. Triva info should be removed. I remember amid WPL editing you said that these broadcasting info table should be in 'season' article. This article entirely should be ce and clean-up. Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 21:10, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Subject: Edit Request - Please change "Most Successful Team" in Infobox from "Mumbai Indians Chennai Super Kings (5 titles each)" to "Chennai Super Kings (5 titles, 10 finals)" in the Wikipedia Page of Indian Premier League.

Dear Wikipedia Editors,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request a modification to the Indian Premier League (IPL) page's infobox, specifically in the section denoting the "Most Successful Team." I believe that the current inclusion of both "Chennai Super Kings" (CSK) and "Mumbai Indians" (MI) as the most successful teams should be revised to accurately reflect the exceptional achievements of Chennai Super Kings. Therefore, I propose listing "Chennai Super Kings" as the sole "Most Successful Team" based on the following reasons:

Title Wins and Final Appearances: Both CSK and MI have secured the IPL title on five occasions, signifying their dominance in the league. However, CSK has achieved this feat with a remarkable consistency, demonstrated by their ten appearances in the final, while MI has reached the final stage six times. CSK's greater number of final appearances showcases their ability to consistently perform at the highest level, cementing their status as the most successful team in the IPL.

Overall Win Percentage: Additionally, CSK's overall win percentage stands higher than MI's, further solidifying their claim to be the most successful team. Considering the cumulative number of matches played by both teams, CSK has maintained a superior win percentage throughout their IPL journey. This statistical measure underscores CSK's sustained excellence and reinforces their position as the leading team in terms of success.

Given these compelling reasons, I kindly request the Wikipedia editors to reconsider the current representation and modify the infobox to list "Chennai Super Kings" as the sole "Most Successful Team" in the Indian Premier League page. This revision accurately reflects CSK's exceptional performances, their significant title wins, and their higher number of final appearances compared to Mumbai Indians.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and thank you in advance for considering this edit request. Please do not hesitate to reach out if any further information or clarification is needed to support this request.
