To-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests :
Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)
Requested articles (Motor sports)
Requested articles (Estonian sportspeople)
Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup :
* Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state)
* Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.)
* Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing.
* Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Expand : Professional sports (crucial article explaining the salaried undertaking of sports)
* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)
Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs
Update : List of world sports championships
Other :
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red.
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

untitled[edit]

Is "dereck jetter is a cheater" relevant for this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.118.10 (talk) 12:09, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ordering[edit]

What's the reasoning behind the ordering of the sports here? It doesn't seem to be based either on alphabetical order or popularity. (I'd guess cricket is mostly a niche sport outside the UK, and far less popular than basket or ice hockey overall, for instance.) Mostly, it seems to be more or less random. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 19:12, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an article on the subject, which perhaps is not too scientific, but contains some valid points. https://humankinetics.me/2019/07/11/most-popular-sports-in-europe/ 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 23:42, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notable female players[edit]

This is of course slightly subjective (how are we categorising ‘notable’?) but surely this is missing Serena Williams? She’s one of the most successful tennis players ever. 109.249.189.136 (talk) 21:21, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Serena Williams was American, last I checked... 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 14:20, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
