Hello, Yannick Lokur, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Sorry, I just wanted to see how it worked. Is there any source that I can edit (any page), I will make a small edit which isn't stupid or based on opinions, I promise. Maybe even one harmless word will do. Please? :( Yannick Lokur (talk) 09:12, 6 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

It appears that you are unfamiliar with the general rule that the United States of America is usually referred to as the "United States" in formal written English prose (newspapers, magazines, journals, books). The full name including the words "of America" is primarily used only in the context of legal documents like passports, proclamations, federal laws, etc. Coolcaesar (talk) 18:08, 1 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
