that level of detail is desirable, do we know, for instance, that the team now calling itself the
Portland Timbers is the same team (whatever that means) that played in the NASL in 1975? Or is it just a new bunch of people hoping to capitalize on the friendly associations that people have with the old NASL name? I think you're an energetic and valuable editor but you will be a better one still, the more you try to ensure that your contributions make sense within the policies of Knowledge. Sorry for carrying on so long, and I hope you take this in the friendly spirit in which it is offered.

it. The DC United / Philadelphia Union article is a real good example. I'm sure that, by virtue of their proximity, those two teams will be at each others' throats for years to come; but as of right now, after one season, there *is* no rivalry, and an article discussing it is simply premature. Likewise those changes to the MLS table. If the outlook for 2011 is uncertain, then leave things as they were in 2010 and maybe just add something short about the uncertainty. Take a look at, for example,

since this was discussed in detail on the Talk page.) And, while relegation would bring MLS into line with the rest of the world (and would make for a much more interesting late season), the article you cited for the proposition that it was "eventually" coming said in fact that relegation was "not on the horizon" because the US lacks a financially viable second-tier league. That pretty squarely places the notion in the "wish list" category! Thanks -

Well, if there *are* long-term plans, then I think it'd be fine to talk about them. The whole relegation issue as it relates to MLS is an interesting subject. The problem is that right now, as best I can tell, there are no plans, as such, to move to a system involving relegation; and any discussion

I'll work on it soon. The idea behind the
Seattle Sounders page was to serve the same purpose of the Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps' pages. I feel it would be easier if someone was to research the history of the club name and franchises of the NASL, USL, etc. if they had one page to go to,

Also, please, don't make edits that aren't supported by sources, or which stretch sources beyond what they say. I would love to see a dual championship in MLS (playoff and record) but as of now there is only one. You shouldn't say, as you did in the MLS article, that there are two. (Particularly

Sure, say that he likes the ideas - in the abstract - if it's not too tangential, being just his personal view. The problem is with language implying that relegation is an eventuality for MLS, something slated one day for its future, when in the very same article Garber says he doesn't see it "on

Hi, you made a series of edits to this article a month or so ago, and whilst the additions overall appear to be useful they have not been sourced, and ineed the one in-line citation that was in the article has now been removed. Can you add some in-line citations for your edits. Thanks.

It was unnecessary advice based upon invalid presumptions. There was no vandalism used. Claiming that the MLS Cup finals is an event of the MLS Playoffs is far from vandalism. Unless of course there's a policy I'm breaching, which I've yet to find.

The problem is that the history of the club is, or can be, covered quite competently within the three already existing articles describing the clubs with this name. A fourth article to consolidate and repeat the information is just redundant.
