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.

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

Scripting error

There is a technical error in the men's speed skating section. Can someone please repair it? Thank you.

I don't see an error, unless of course it has now been fixed. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 11:46, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple medalists

There should be a section at the end listing all athletes who have won more than one medal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.180.218.186 (talk) 14:59, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Women's" vs. "Ladies'"

Why does Wikipedia use "Women's", when the IOC uses "Ladies'"? Shouldn't we be following the IOC's convention(s)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.212.139.102 (talk) 08:37, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:44, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At least I'm trying to contribute - what's your excuse? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.212.139.102 (talk) 19:06, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Look at my contribution history. You can see that I am contributing. Now step 1, learn to sign your comments... Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:56, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's pretty obvious that you're an *inconsistent* contributor at best, otherwise you wouldn't be here trolling me. And for the record, I *know* how to sign, I simply *choose* not to since it seems to drive folks like you up the wall. Cheers :P — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.212.139.102 (talk) 17:36, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it doesn't drive me up the wall. Now go cry to the admin board instead of doing anything meaningful. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:12, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia follows it's own manual of style, and is not beholden to other conventions. If we're talking about an official title, that's another matter; if we're talking in general terms about an event, we go with our own style and conventions. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:39, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. Just wondering though, if it's the IOC's official naming policy (or that of the respective sporting federations whose convention the IOC presumably follows), then why shouldn't that take precedence? Thanks again. 24.212.139.102 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:03, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not even the official site uses "Ladies" consistently. "Women" and "Men" are widely used for general purposes, while "Ladies" and "Gentleman" typically carries a more formal connotation. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:18, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
