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.

Poss tweaks before mp dyk

Hi The Rambling Man, I looked at this a few hours ago (was perusing the set) but got interrupted and now can't keep eyes open let alone double check the maths. Just dropping these notes here for you to decide if any changes necessary.

Statuette v statuette
lionel messi - has a spare bracket
winners by nationality - nominations: (I've counted these 3 times... but still not sure)

spain - 4 / usa - 13 / germany - 6 / russia - 2 / philippines - 0

Hi JennyOz, thanks, all addressed. Sleep well. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:20, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi The Rambling Man, looks like you are missing cycling in winner by sport. Should be 0 win / 3 nominations.

Indeed, fixed, many thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 06:52, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How is Garcia a repeat "breakout" sportsman in 2018? Do I not understand this award? SquashEngineer (talk) 21:04, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, perhaps you could email Laureus. We didn't vote him in, they did. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:14, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
