For the sake of consistency, we don't put periods in initials. So "US Army" rather than "U.S. Army."

I've since changed them but I gotta ask - Any particular reason you changed the 'USA' to 'U.S.' in the infoboxes on most (but not all) of the season pages? All the other pages I've seen either use 'USA' or 'United States'. It looks strange and the Style Guide states periods on initialisms aren't required. Given you didn't do it on all the season pages it just seemed rather arbitrary. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 14:12, 27 November 2015 (EST) | |||

Periods in initials
For the sake of consistency, we don't put periods in initials. So "US Army" rather than "U.S. Army." Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 20:03, 13 January 2013 (EST)
