What is the Problem?

Hi, Sports event article need symbol section like 1998 FIFA World Cup. Only 1998 FIFA World Cup had a symbol section. So I added a sympbol section in 1990 FIFA World Cup, 1994 FIFA World Cup, 2002 FIFA World Cup and I added reliable source from FIFA Official Website.

I don't understand that What Problem is ?

Besides, Inserting a non-free image at 2002 FIFA World Cup article is just a mistake.

@Footwiks: Please communicate when editing and only save when necessary. There's dozens of your summary-less edits in the watchlists of many editors. Your edits are being reverted when a suitable source is not provided, or you've left something incomplete; I highly recommend using your own sandbox or draftspace to work on chunks that can be submitted properly at one time.

MLS Cup 2022

	Super
	Hi, Can you improve the color of the Philadelphia team shorts? They played in yellow shorts (I was watching the match on TV). I wanted to improve myself, but I can't ... Thank you greetings Artur Realista74 (talk) 18:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

@Realista74: Fixed them by swapping out the shorts pattern part of the template. In the future, please use edit summaries when making changes; we'd be able to help. SounderBruce 23:40, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Seattle Southside Links

Hey there! I'm the user who added links to the Seattle Southside page for the city pages for Tukwila, SeaTac, and Des Moines. I'm discussing here since there are three different pages in question, so it wouldn't make sense to repeat the talk across three pages. I wanted to reach out to make sure we don't go back and forth on edits on these three pages and can instead find a solution that makes sense for both of us. The Seattle Southside regional designation is recognized across all three cities, and the cities are marketed as a tourist destination under the Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority DMO. I can understand wanting citation and marking the additions as citation needed - I'm happy to find reliable sources as needed, in fact, the Tukwila page already links to Seattle Southside's website in a link that far predates my edits. I just want to find a way to include this regional link across the three cities in a way that makes sense. I recognize your expertise in this arena - while my account has been around a while, you'll see I haven't made a ton of edits in Wikipedia, so I definitely have a lot to learn. I do think this information is valuable and worthy of inclusion on all three pages - perhaps not in the summary area at the top of the article as I had originally placed them.

Any guidance you might be able and willing to provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!--Sakanaya (talk) 17:59, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

@Sakanaya: Seattle Southside seems to be a marketing term more than an actual geographic distinction. Most reliable sources (like the Seattle Times, News Tribune, various Reporter papers) use "South King" except in sponsored pieces from the tourism agency. I'd be opposed to mentioning it in the articles at all, let alone the lead. SounderBruce 02:41, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Respectfully, I have to disagree with your assessment of Seattle Southside as a pure marketing term. First, the area's business interests are represented by the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce ([1]https://www.seattlesouthsidechamber.com/about), a completely separate organization from the Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority. This indicates a regional recognition separate from the marketing organization. Further, the Soundside Alliance ([2]https://soundsidealliance.org/about-soundside-alliance/), a business development organization and partnership of the five cities of Burien, SeaTac, Des Moines, Tukwila, and Normandy Park describes the region as the Seattle Southside region repeatedly across their site. I do agree that placing it in the lead was a bad choice, and that I recognize. I am merely working to improve the articles by linking them to their shared regional identity, which while the name, yes, was originally chosen by a marketing organization, it was done with consent, input, and funding from the governments of the cities it markets.

DYK for MLS Cup 2022

On 14 November 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article MLS Cup 2022, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the most valuable player of MLS Cup 2022, John McCarthy, only played once in the regular season? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/MLS Cup 2022. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, MLS Cup 2022), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Pronunciation of the city.

I removed the incorrect pronunciation of the city of Boise for the same reason other Wikipedia pages do not include their respective, and perhaps understandable, mispronunciations. For example, "Arkansas," and, "Mackinac Island." The mispronunciation of Boise is less understandable, and just as incorrect.

If I should have explained it the first time, then that's on me. Friarbax (talk) 01:29, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

@Friarbax: Given that reliable sources also use the other pronunciation, and there isn't a consensus on which is correct, both should stay. It's not unusual for articles to have multiple pronunciations in their lead, such as Toronto and Chicago. Removal requires consensus, so start a talk page discussion per the BRD cycle. SounderBruce 01:35, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Very well. BRD sounds good. Friarbax (talk) 01:59, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
