I have provided sources for the TEAM name, not the corporation name. That »Football Club« is the corporation name is an unfounded claim by user Walter Görlitz who was in fact edit warring.
If you had done your research, you’d have probably realized it AND you would have learned that this user in question was blocking the change that had been advocated by a number of other editors: Club names in Major League Soccer. I had provided sources, the other user has not, period.
Secondly, I’m not sure how or where you came to the conclusion that you are entitled to tell me what to do (»stop«), so kindly take your own advice and refrain.
There is a reason it’s called full name vs. abbreviation. You conveniently ignored my reference to Liverpool FC, Chelsea FC and countless other examples here on Wikipedia, another is FC Bayern. The more interesting point however is that none of said articles has provided a source corroborating that the respective name is Liverpool Football Club, Chelsea Football Club or Fussball-Club Bayern München, so I have in fact done more than was done in these articles. If you really were interested in applying the arbitrary standardization rules you mentioned, why don’t you go ahead and abbreviate them to the common name with which they are referred to? I’d love to see how that goes.
The case with Atlanta United Football Club is that a group of users seem to believe they can claim something without providing proof, and sadly, they seem to be right in their belief.
Find a source where the team or club says that they are NOT called Football Club and that this is only the suffix for the legal entity.
Until then, your actions are more in line with WP:OWN and WP:CPP. The year of the source is irrelevant, it’s official. There’s a reason you haven’t provided any source, and neither has the other edit-warrior.
Have you even looked at a single one of the sources I provided (of which there are 18 - in words: eighteen - listed) instead of assuming? Of course not, otherwise you wouldn’t have claimed that that the full name is not spelled out in »any media coverage«, which is false and either caused by ignorance due to lack of research or a lie based on deliberate ommission of facts that prove the contrary. XD
Why don’t you do an editor’s homework first and check the sources: From the Atlanta United official website: »We are a football club […]« [1]. Oh wait, there’s more: »The club engaged with the city’s community from the get-go—Atlanta United Football Club was a name decided by fans through online polling.« [2]. There are 16 more sources, help yourself. According to your and the other user’s reasoning, fans decided on the corporate name by way of an online-poll, right? They must be fans of the enterprise, but not the team, impressive.
Let’s have a look: Atlanta United Football Club is mentioned in the following media sources: »Atlanta United Football Club is already breaking Major League Soccer records. More than 26,000 fans paid deposits to secure season tickets. And it’s for a TEAM that doesn’t start playing until March 2017.« [3]; »“We are the ‘A’”: Atlanta United, Nationalism, And What It Means To Belong« (page 3) [4]; »Support your club and the City of Atlanta community with other like-minded fans of Atlanta United Football Club.« (Resurgence Supporters Group) [5]; »Atlanta United Football Club« (World Soccer Shop) https://www.worldsoccershop. com/shop/clubs/atlanta-united; Peach Review [6]; Saporta Report [7]; Yahoo Sports [8]; Fox 5 Atlanta [9]; CNN [10]; Atlanta Voice [11]; Museum Tower [12]; Atlanta City Council [13].
So, both official club and independent media sources use it over and over again, but what is not allowed, will be denied existence on Wikipedia. XD I am curious though, why did you add Football Club to the full name section when it’s allegedly only the name of the corporate entity and not the »team«? And if it’s the corporate name according to your claim, where is the LLC suffix?
I’ll tell you what, you can go on and indulge in manipulating articles to your liking, every so often I’m reminded what a toxic cess pool this is. Good luck. -- esse quam videri - to be rather than to seem ( talk) 00:31, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Alyo, could you please advise me about the correct way to edit an existing article to include a reference to a published book on the topic. I was planning to include the name of the book, the author, publisher, date first published and ISBN and a very bride description of the book. Is anything else recommended. -- Filiposnibbor ( talk) 09:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
<ref> ... </ref>
. Inside of that, you can fill in the various parameters here: {{cite book |last= |first= |author-link= |date= |title= |url= |location= |publisher= |page= |isbn=}}
. So the whole thing will look something like this: <ref>{{cite book |last=Bloggs |first=Joe |author-link=Joe Bloggs |date=1974 |title=Book of Bloggs}}</ref>
. If you click the link to the book cite template, you'll see that there are a whole bunch of other parameters you can use if necessary/helpful, but generally author/title/publisher/ISBN if you can find it/page you're citing to/date is more than enough! Let me know if that makes sense. Which article are you trying to edit?

Hello Alyo,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

hello, I immigrated from South Africa to Australia 2 years ago and am having difficulty getting back onto Wikipedia, a site I've used for many years in South Africa from your icon on my desktop. That Wikipedia icon has disappeared since getting here and I'd like to get it back. I've just turned 84 on 20 April and have some difficulty getting back onto Wikipedia, I suppose because of some short term memory loss. I've had to keep my South African mail address because i get a monthly Life Insurance annuity from Liberty Life insurance South Africa, which they won't or can't send to customers like me in a different country. That's why I've had to keep my South African email address at mWeb South Africa. -- Rschimmel ( talk) 04:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Greetings mentor @ Alyo After a long break away from the Odrek Rwabwogo draft, I decided to resume editing. However, after the original article was deleted nine months ago due to the COI I stated and later explained as a non-issue to the admin that deleted the article, I doubt I will be able to have the energy or drive to recreate it despite my habit of finishing what I start. Can you please help me edit and get some users to contribute? I decided to leave room for you and other editors to contribute for a better, wholesome article.

This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi, nice to meet you. I've been away on holiday, but excited to get back to editing. Is there a tool/plugin you use to quickly find typos and spelling mistakes? I get a lot of pages come up in my suggested pages to edit, but don't know how to quickly find mistakes to fix. -- Dsaxon06 ( talk) 00:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey😎 how do you edit the titles of pages? I can’t find a option. Also, I don’t know if this illegal, but I’m asking the second question..... how do you make these thingies that describe stuff about a book? for example: Dune (novel) i’m Pretty sure the information is somewhere, but i can’t find it. Also, I’m using an iPad. Does that change things? Iamamodforjellymario ( talk) 20:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

hello, I immigrated from South Africa to Australia 2 years ago and am having difficulty getting back onto Wikipedia, a site I've used for many years in South Africa from your icon on my desktop. That Wikipedia icon has disappeared since getting here and I'd like to get it back. I've just turned 84 on 20 April and have some difficulty getting back onto Wikipedia, I suppose because of some short term memory loss. I've had to keep my South African mail address because i get a monthly Life Insurance annuity from Liberty Life insurance South Africa, which they won't or can't send to customers like me in a different country. That's why I've had to keep my South African email address at mWeb South Africa. -- Rschimmel ( talk) 04:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey! I just came to know about editing and all, And I am really interested in it. But this UI is really a big problem to me and I am confused with many things like the user home page customising, the talk pages, etc... So, I just wanted to know if you have some tips or guides or share your experience of dealing with these problems when you joined newly, etc... -- Chocooooo ( talk) 17:31, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Greetings mentor @ Alyo After a long break away from the Odrek Rwabwogo draft, I decided to resume editing. However, after the original article was deleted nine months ago due to the COI I stated and later explained as a non-issue to the admin that deleted the article, I doubt I will be able to have the energy or drive to recreate it despite my habit of finishing what I start. Can you please help me edit and get some users to contribute? I decided to leave room for you and other editors to contribute for a better, wholesome article. Niitwe ( talk) 08:14, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
