I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of North America 2026 FIFA World Cup bid's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Per title, I am confused about what the support section is meant to convey. Have these entities issued formal statements supporting the bid? Are they financially supporting the bid? Without clarification and sources I am inclined to remove the section. GiovanniSidwell (talk) 14:53, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
There's a bit of a dispute brewing about whether John C. Munro International Airport in Hamilton is considered a "Toronto" airport. While not officially part of the Greater Toronto Area, it is 40 miles from downtown Toronto, listed as a relief airport for Toronto on several pages (including its own and in the linked section on Toronto's infrastructure), and part of the Golden Horseshoe. It's relation is similar to that of Mexico City/Toluca, Atlanta/DeKalb, Baltimore/Washington, and New York/Stewart/Westchester; although it isn't part of Toronto's metro area, it's closer to Toronto than several of the airports listed are to their major centres. I don't see why it should not be included in the Toronto section as it is clearly considered a secondary airport for the Toronto market, to the point airlines are setting up there as their hub for the GTA as a whole. The argument that it shouldn't be included because it's not in the GTA is a weak one. --PlasmaTwa2 05:48, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Why is it not possible to edit the page for this article? I can see that the bid has been awarded to the North American side. I would like to make the amendments necessary on the page but I seem to have lost the ability to do that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abedwayyad (talk • contribs) 11:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

It seems odd that the United States of America is hosting 75% of the games, including the opening game, the semifinals, and the finals, and yet gets third billing. Also, the largest host country's name is "United States of America," not "United States." Otherwise, it could be easily confused with another host country, "United Mexican States." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.175.220.10 (talk) 14:40, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Moved as proposed. Consensus is clear, and it is noted that the proposed title is a plausible common name, and is more concise. bd2412 T 12:20, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Canada–Mexico–United States 2026 FIFA World Cup bid → United 2026 FIFA World Cup bid – As noted, there were concerns over the proportionality of games hosted that is implied by the title. Even though Canada is first alphabetically, the bid's plans are that only some of the games will be hosted there, and that the majority will actually be in the United States. Plus, "United 2026" is the actual name of the consortium, and the split-screen graphics during the final announcement referred to the final two bids as "United" and "Morocco", so there's official precedent too. I think it would better-reflect the common name. ViperSnake151 Talk 14:51, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
*Support original proposal, oppose United 2026 as it is not consistent with the way we title bids for sporting events and it's still not unambiguous even if United Airlines Flight 2026 is clearly not notable as many people would still interpret it to be a flight number. (And it does appear to be a valid, albeit clearly non-notable, one.)(This was my !vote which I apparently forgot to sign, or else the signature was somehow removed, changing it below.)

This point isn't in any of the three references cited for the paragraph in which it's found. In addition, it's not a certainty that Trump won't be president (note that the word is not capitalized) in 2026. He may serve a non-consecutive second term or, less likely, the United States Constitution may be amended to allow him to serve a third term (Trump has made a comment hinting he would like this to happen). And even if he's not the president in 2026, whoever is president may decide to keep the immigration ban travel ban if it's still in place when he or she takes office. Therefore, I am deleting this statement. Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 09:58, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
New York City doesn't have a stadium big enough to accommodate 80,000 fans, the most they have is about 50,000 seats for baseball fans.
The final is reported as being held in East Rutherford, New Jersey by various outlets, not New York City, New York. In particular, at MetLife stadium where the New York Giants and New York Jets play.

In the tables that indicate the current usage of venues that are part of the bid, there are some ambiguous or potentially ambiguous entries.
There are several NCAA conference American-football championships, but are titled such that the sport is omitted leaving them ambiguous. Such as the "SEC Championship Game" in Atlanta, when it should really be in the table as the SEC (American) football Championship (due to SEC Championships existing for other sports).
Also, there are several university teams listed as tenants, but are simply titled with "[University] [Nickname]" without indicating the sport. Such as "UCLA Bruins" as a tenant of the Rose Bowl, when UCLA Bruins could refer to any of UCLA's sports but it's only the (American) football team that plays in the Rose Bowl.
If no objections are raised, I will attempt to revise some of the text in those tables to clarify the above points.
