- 01:5201:52, 17 July 2024 diff hist −24 United States men's national soccer team A team is an "it", not a "they." The team MEMBERS individually are a "they," but a team is a singular unit, an "it." That is Journalism 101 and Encyclopedia Writing 301. Words such as "also" and "only" are superfluous words that have no meaning, in that 99.9 percent of sentences stand perfectly without them. The word "only" is a subjective, editorial word that is self-authoring, violating Wikipedia MoS. Tag: Visual edit
- 01:4801:48, 17 July 2024 diff hist −4 United States men's national soccer team Please check your grammar textbook from fourth grade. Numbers one through nine are written as words. Any number greater than nine is written as a numeral. Tag: Visual edit
- 01:2901:29, 17 July 2024 diff hist −17 United States men's national soccer team →Early years: The U.S. team is not the "Stars and Stripes" or the "Yanks." Again, this is not a sports article for a website. The U.S. team is the U.S. team. Tags: Reverted Visual edit
- 01:2401:24, 17 July 2024 diff hist −57 United States men's national soccer team →History: This is a classic example of improper style and superfluous words: "The U.S. had its revenge the following year when it beat Canada 1–0, also in Newark, although neither match was officially recognized." Proper style renders that as "The U.S. beat Canada 1–0, although neither match was officially recognized." "...had its revenge" is self authoring, a violation of Wikipedia MoS. Tighten the sentence to only the barest facts needed to convey the point. Tags: Reverted Visual edit
- 01:1801:18, 17 July 2024 diff hist −308 United States men's national soccer team A team is an "it," not a "they." Also, after first reference, the team is the "U.S." team, not "United States." We must be consistent in our references, not referring to it one way and then the other. Finally, team overall results against other nations are immediately obsolete after it plays those nations again, so do not put in stats of U.S. vs other nations. Finally, NEVER use contractions in encyclopedia writing, or in any formal writing. Tags: Reverted Visual edit
- 01:1201:12, 17 July 2024 diff hist −4,297 United States men's national soccer team →Home stadium: Removing so much superfluous content. Writing for an encyclopedia is not like writing sports article. Encyclopedia style requires a summarization (only) of facts written with the fewest, most direct words. Subjective terms are never allowed. Tags: Reverted Visual edit
- 00:5000:50, 17 July 2024 diff hist −4,961 United States men's national soccer team There is so much editorializing in this article. Removed much content that had no sources when none could be located. If you want to write content making a claim about facts that happened, you have to prove them with reputable third-party publishers. Otherwise, you are self-authoring, which is in violation of Wikipedia rules. The content remains in the History section of this article, if someone wants to return it to the article WITH proper sources. Tags: Reverted Visual edit

- 23:3523:35, 16 July 2024 diff hist −271 Wrigley Field (Los Angeles) Removed reference to the equivalency of the price of the stadium compared to 2017. With every passing year that reference is outdated. Tag: Visual edit

Not everyone knows how to edit from source. This is not self-serving; I edit from source code. I write source code. But, we want to make Wikipedia more open to all editors. Tag: Visual edit

There were a few paragraphs regarding awards the school had received that were not in the "Awards" section, so I remedied that. Also made more factual corrections.

- 18:0618:06, 7 July 2024 diff hist −496 Kevin Rowland Removed wholly unnecessary paragraph. Kevin Rowland has been written about hundreds of times. We could fill Wikipedia's bandwidth with quotes about Kevin Roland. In encyclopedia writing, a single person's opinion about the subject is rarely important or appropriate. We just state the facts. current Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit Advanced mobile edit
