To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this IP's talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Austin FC

This is what we know as of October 15, 2018:

1. Precourt purchased Columbus Crew.
2. He wanted a better stadium deal from the city of Columbus.
3. He threatened to move the team to Austin, Texas.
4. He went to Austin city council to get a stadium deal.
5. City of Columbus filed a lawsuit against Precourt.
6. Austin gave Precourt a deal.
7. Haslam said that he was in negotiations for Columbus.
8. MLS said that if Haslam gets Columbus, Precourt can have Austin.

That's where we sit. There has been no announcement that Haslam has purchased Columbus. There has been no announcement that Precourt has been given a franchise in Austin. Until such announcements are made to that effect, notably the Austin franchise, you're speculating. The next time you decide to add a claim that there's a future club in Austin without a supporting press release from the league, I'll discuss preventing this IP from editing for a while.

I would argue that it is not debatable whether or not Austin FC is getting a team. With the inclusion of the quotes from MLS and an article from Chris Bils today (https://www.statesman.com/sports/20181015/source-mls-in-austin-is-matter-of-when-not-if), it seems that Austin FC is a matter of "when, not if." I would love the opportunity to edit this page without it being locked because although Columbus Crew's location is an uncertainty, the possibility of Austin FC seems to be a done deal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.186.16.109 (talk) 03:18, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

It is debatable. Columbus has still not been sold. It's not a done deal until there's a press release saying it's a done deal. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:28, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
