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."

The first Black British athlete, as far as I know, was Dr.Geoffrey Dove, a sprinter who unfortunately failed to qualify for the 1948 British Olympic team. Born to a father from Sierra Leone, and an English mother, he was highly educated, witty, and talented in several areas: medicine and engineering among them. He was unremitting in confronting racism, even to the extent of applying, having seen an ad in the Times, for a post of Mining Engineer in a South African mine at the height of aparthied. In a violent act, the other white candidate pushed him down a mineshaft, crippling him and effectively ending his athletic career. He returned to take up medicine and treating sports injuries. As a G.P. he was influential, indeed pioneering in the use of computers in medicine and became the constant friend and G.P. of the writer Laurie Lee.
