Interest in an unofficial USL project/group

Hey, I've noticed you edit quite a few USL pages and so I wanted to mention that I started an unofficial USL editor project/group in one of my userpages. Letting it be a collective place to chart out goals that folks interested in USL can work on individually or collaboratively.

Feel free to edit the page(s) with your own goals or just use it as a reference point for anything you may want to work on.

If nothing else, I appreciate all the edits you do! Happy holidays! Christiangamer7 ( talk) 00:12, 19 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the invite. I will take a closer look when I have a chance

  • Remember to tag your edit summary with [[WP:FEB24]], both to advertise the event and tally the points later using Edit Summary Search.

Welcome to the drive! Thank you for joining the effort – one person cannot do much, but together we can do so much more. There's a ton, and i mean a TON of soccer-related articles that are not cited at all. Although the drive hasn't officially began yet, you can test out your citation skills on these articles:
For soccer match articles, I often find news sources or official webpage of the matches to source the point stats, as these are more reliable than a random score database. Don't hesitate to ask me anything! I am here to help :) CactiStaccingCrane ( talk) 06:54, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply

2024 Austin FC season

Hi. I was wondering why the format you use is better? the other 28 pages use the format I used. seems we should be consistent on all 29 teams. Thank you Tomrtn ( talk) 21:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Tomrtn This is the direct quote off the WP Football - "Concerns have been raised about the football box collapsible and its compliance with MOS:ACCESS. For further information and the most recent discussions, see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Archive 238#Football Season articles and football results articles." It can be found here WP Football/used on many pages. It references MOS:ACCESS, which discusses formatting that gives readers and editors with visual impairment the ability to use screen readers to read articles on Wikipedia. I understand your concern for MLS articles, but I think WP Football should be the standard for football pages regardless of league. There are thousands of pages that use the older format and I wouldn't go back and correct those personally, but moving forward I think editors should use the most up to date recommendations on Wikipedia to provide the best access to most people. I would appreciate hearing your input on this. Demt1298 ( talk) 21:25, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply
OK Tomrtn ( talk) 21:27, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply
I agree it may be better but I think all MLS pages should use same format, would be best to revert back to the old way until all pages changed. Maybe we can start a discussion on it with other editors. Tomrtn ( talk) 21:43, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Tomrtn I appreciate that feedback, but why would we want all of the MLS pages to not be in line with WP Football. I agree with starting the conversation with whatever group of editors you think control MLS articles, but I would use the 2024 Austin FC season page as the example of what WP Football recommends. That allows two things. One people will have a visual reference of how it would look on MLS articles and allow them to comment on likes and dislikes based on that visual reference. Secondly, it would allow the editors to use the 2024 Austin FC season pages formatting to make the adjustment to the other MLS articles. I think if we just revert because other MLS articles aren't in line with WP Football and MOS:ACESS recommendation, it won't lead to progress in getting other editors to adjust those articles to be in line with current recommendations. I know that other leagues also have this issue, because in the Premier League, the 2023–24 Manchester City F.C. season article uses collapsible boxes and the 2023–24 Manchester United F.C. season articles uses current format. I oppose the idea of regressing editing recommendations for standardization. We need to encourage other editors to bring their articles up to current standards and in turn provide a better product for those who use electronic adjuncts for their wikipedia experience.
