Haven't you heard the recent news reports? The London 2012 venue plan has been revised and Volleyball events moved to Earl's Court. They are diong this to allow more training facilities. Jim856796 06:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swimming pool

One of the building's interesting features is a hydrologically raising and lowering floor in three sections in the main arena which when lowered can be filled with water to make one of Europe's largest indoor swimming pools. This was used to greatest effect at the London Boat show. Rjmunro 23:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I have decided that Earls Court is an "entertainment venue"

I have decided that Earls Court is an "entertainment venue" and inserted this information into the lead paragraph, which is really supposed to state what the Earls Court EC is. You might say, "Oh, it should be obvious from the name", but the actual specific nature of the venue needs to be established up front and right away.

I mean, I have no idea WTF Earls Court is, which is why I went to this article. Shockingly, the lead paragraph concerns itself with train stations rather than the article's subject and what it might be. I guess it's an entertainment venue? I may change my guess at its nature in the future (a zoo, perhaps? a museum?) unless someone who actually knows stops in and helps this article out. 65.190.89.154 (talk) 01:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Trampled.JPG

Image:Trampled.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
