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

2010 skipper is spithill, not coutts

no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjarthur (talk • contribs) 18:38, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Although I don’t have Julian Guthrie’s book on me at the moment to cite, my understanding was that in 2010 his official title with the team was “skipper”, although he did not end up actually skippering, while Spithill’s was “helmsman”, and he did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.107.189 (talk) 06:28, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The winning skipper in the 2017 AC was Peter Burling, not Glenn Ashby. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.193.188.165 (talk) 18:56, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite, the 2017 crew set-up was Burling as HELMSMAN and Ashby as skipper, similar to the Coutts-Spithill example above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.236.247 (talk) 23:06, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Ireland

Given the dates involved and the partition of the island of Ireland at the time, are we absolutely confident that the Shamrock entrants represented "Northern Ireland" specifically? doktorb _words^deeds 17:40, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, not confident at all. The main article lists all English/Scottish/Irish-located clubs as "United Kingdom", which is historically correct. Unless there are strong reasons otherwise, I suggest doing the same here. - Davidships (talk) 02:11, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
