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."

Forgive me for not being familiar with wiki conventions. User Springee feels that the reason for this company's rebranding is not relevant. I disagree, and I find their agenda to be transparent. This encyclopedia will be more useful to society if it provides information about why things happen. Sipos111 (talk) 20:53, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's one thing to neutrally say why the company made this choice. It's quite another to use a recent, accusatory article to that end. The MF article is reasonable but the connection to the recent shooting isn't. Since you jointed today and have displayed WP:SPA behavior it's not surprising people wouldn't give your edits the benefit of the doubt. Springee (talk) 22:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I actually see your point now. And I admit I was not behaving in a constructive manner yesterday. Thoughts about putting the mf article piece back in? Sipos111 (talk) 15:32, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Go ahead and make some changes. Worst case we can revert. So long as the language and source are neutral I don't see any issue with the change. Infact it would be an improvement since currently the article is a stub that doesn't explain why the company wants to do this. Certainly issolating the stock from the swings associated with gun sales it part of it but I also got the feeling some of the change was because they want to do more things that aren't S&W branded. Springee (talk) 17:37, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't mind, I'd rather you make whatever change you feel is appropriate. What I learned yesterday is that this is something I don't currently have the capacity to get involved with. Sipos111 (talk) 18:07, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Based on what you have said today and our conversation here I think you do. You are engaged in the talk page in a perfectly level headed fashion. Yes, we might not agree with what ever changes you try but since we have a working dialog that's OK. I can try to get to the edits but it will be later (maybe tonight, not sure). This would be a good chance for you to try to learn the ropes after a bumpy start. I'm sure we will continue to disagree on some of this but so long as we are both editing in good faith I don't see a problem. Springee (talk) 18:21, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
