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

The description from the quoted author Everett is misleading. If you hook your thumb under the bar, the weight will rest primarily on the pad of your thumb. In general, images of the hook grip on the web show the last segment of the thumb parallel to the bar. I hope someone with personal hook grip experience will add a precise description of what position the thumb takes and what parts of the thumb are pressed against the bar.
defining a Natural grip and a Closed grip would be nice, and pictures too. LIMEY (talk) 04:25, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is worth mentioning the risk of a bicep tear while using a mixed grip in deadlifting. Moreover, utilizing the Hook grip as a tool to mitigate these risks. Hmk0110 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:02, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
