Research Progress

  • Topics completed: Voice cleanup of 60 articles across regions (Mid-Atlantic, Mountain West, Pac NW, Tri-State, Midwest, Deep South, GA/Carolinas, Florida, SoCal, Texas, New England); thin-article rebuild of 29 articles (mostly MLS Next academies + Midwest/Mountain independents); 8 aged stubs from NY/NJ/NV/MI/OH/WI promoted to draft.
  • Topics partially completed: Editorial-voice cleanup queue continues — 117 non-updates files still flagged with 1H violation each (down from 163). Aged stub backlog at 79 (8 of 87 done this run).
  • Next up: Continue voice-cleanup queue (next batch: midwest/missouri/sporting-springfield, midwest/missouri/sporting-kc-academy if any residue, deep-south/tennessee/lobos-rush, etc.); finish remaining MLS academy thin articles; tackle Topic 44 (MLS Next / ECNL evolution since 2023).

Open Questions / Issues for Trevor

  • TKO Premier SC and Kingdom SC filed under wrong region/state subdirectory: TKO is at clubs/great-lakes/ohio/ but is a Michigan club (Wayland MI); Kingdom is at clubs/great-lakes/wisconsin/ but is a Michigan club (Wayland MI / Kingdom Sports complex). Background task chip generated to git mv and update wikilinks.
  • Eden Prairie Soccer Club was filed at clubs/great-lakes/wisconsin/ but is a Minnesota club. Already moved during expansion to clubs/midwest/minnesota/eden-prairie-soccer-club.md.
  • Tax-status auto-classification flagged 3 false positives (dearborn-stars-sc, kingdom-sc, vermont-united-soccer-academy) where lint matched on “ProPublica” / “nonprofit” keywords used in negative context (e.g., “no ProPublica record found”). Reverted to unknown. Worth tightening lint heuristics to require positive EIN-format match before promoting.
  • KC Select rebrand: club is now Union KC (rebranded May 2024). Article filename and slug should be updated wiki-wide on next pass — currently shows kc-select everywhere with redirect prose.
  • Salvo SC ED vacancy: Executive Director role was open as of late 2025; club entered 2025-26 season without confirmed permanent executive leadership. Worth tracking.
