Talk:MagicJack (WPS)

Name Change
Since being expelled from WPS, does it make sense to change the page's name, perhaps to magicJack (Women's Soccer) or maybe just magicJack (soccer)? Achowat (talk) 16:38, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

CommonName
I can see stylization misused frequently. Let's look at the claim that the stylized name as its WP:COMMONNAME.

Uses "MagicJack"
 * https://www.espn.com/espnw/news-commentary/story/_/id/8336849/why-hope-solo-abby-wambach-back-magicjack-owner-dan-borislow-espn-magazine consistently uses.

Use both
 * http://www.espn.com/sports/soccer/blog/_/name/purdy_jacqueline/id/6808077/the-post-world-cup-bounce Deferring to caps at the start of one sentence.

Use "magicJack"

It does not appear as though it is a common name. Is there additional proof? Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:20, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

 * ...etc. etc.
 * But you should still be trying to make this weird argument at magicJack, instead of at Hope Solo. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 15:48, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks user:Bring back Daz Sampson for finding these sources. So to address of your question as to why I am addressing this here rather than at Solo's article is because it seems to be an overall problem and this is the correct place to discuss it.
 * As for the sources: many of them appear to be press releases as they have no author or byline, but there are enough with attributions that it seems to have been common.
 * All of the sources use sentence case. When the team name starts a sentence, it is capitalized. That means that in an infobox, it should be capitalized and when it's at the start of a sentence it should be capitalized. Mid-sentence, lower case seems to be attested. Are there any objections to that usage? Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:47, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it should follow the same rules as eBay, iPod etc. etc. And ultimately the name of the soccer team was inherited from the name of the oft-derided dongle, so that article should be the forum for any challenge to the established consensus. The fact that you edit-warred this nonsense at Hope Solo instead of any other magicJack players suggests that you still have some unresolved WP:NPV and WP:OWN issues there. Similar to when you bizarrely tried to downgrade her WP:Footy importance rating because you proclaimed her "déclassé"! 08:33, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
