* 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.

This source says there are 85 participating countries (and provides a list)... Aridd (talk) 08:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I was looking for the source, but there is just so much to do at present. I think about 98 countries were invited, with slots for a1,300 athletes, but the true figures seem to show 85 countries and 1,100ish athletes have shown up. FruitMonkey (talk) 11:19, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found a more up to date list (and it appears correct). The other list published missed several countries who are definitely competing. FruitMonkey (talk) 23:25, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your hard work; impressive! Aridd (talk) 11:11, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
