A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!  

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Kaizjose. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:12, 9 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

U.S. vs. American

edit

The phrase "is an U.S. professional soccer club" is incorrect on several fronts.

  1. American is an adjective while U.S., standing here for United States, is a noun. In this sentence, "soccer club" is the noun and you can't have two in this case. American is describing the noun while U.S. isn't.
  2. If you were going to change it to "a U.S.", the article would match the use of the noun, but "an U.S." is incorrect article usage.
  3. If you were to change it to this incorrect term, it would not line-up with the remainder of the American MLS teams (sixteen in all) whose articles all read "is an American professional soccer club". It would also not agree with the two Canadian club articles whose articles read "is a Canadian professional soccer club". It doesn't agree with other American soccer clubs such as those in NASL and the various USL leagues. It doesn't agree with other American sports teams. It also doesn't agree with Amercian company articles. In fact, you'll have to "fix" this error on every other article that uses the adjectival form of the nation (English rather than England, Mexican rather than Mexico, German rather than Germany, Spanish rather than Spain, etc.) on Wikipedia, so you might want to settle-in for a lot of editing.

In short, I didn't revert your edit because I dislike you, I reverted your edit (twice) because it's an incorrect change. 04:20, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
