MBTA kickback schemes → Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority kickback schemes – Must use full name for non-US readers. George Ho (talk) 02:32, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME as documented in the sourcing. There's no other MBTA kickback scheme, or as far as I can tell another notable MBTA topic that this could be confused with.--Yaksar (let's chat) 03:56, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Alternative use both, giving MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) kickback schemes. — Lentower (talk) 19:56, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Oppose This is a case where just adding the redirects will solve the issue for non-US readers. — Lentower (talk) 19:56, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
