Sports

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of sport-related topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SportsWikipedia:WikiProject SportsTemplate:WikiProject Sportssports articles

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

Pompeii brawl[edit]

This list should include the brawl between the residents of Pompeii and Nuceria at the gladiatorial games held in the Amphitheatre of Pompeii in AD 59. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2002:4738:C470:0:21E:C2FF:FEA9:2961 (talk) 19:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

College sports riots[edit]

There is one mention of a college fan riot, is it worth mentioning others like the College Park UMd riot? http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/01/biggest-college-campus-riots-in-history/maryland-riots-after-loss-to-duke

in fact there could almost be one whole section devoted to college sport riots.

Aggieville riots[edit]

Could use some attention. The first sentence is very unclear, e.g., the score was not the same in both games (according to linked page). The place-name also could be clarified, in that Aggieville is in Manhattan KS, as opposed to referring to the Texas A&M Aggies. ProfessorAndro (talk) 14:38, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting of Detroit 1984 World Series Riot[edit]

I don't understand how my addition of the Detroit 1984 World Series Riot is in a brick red font instead of the default font color of other items in the table. I invite others to correct the formatting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilkus (talk • contribs) 03:31, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
