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

Proposed move

As discussed at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates#List of Walter Byers Scholars, This article is not really a list, but rather is an article about the scholarship program that includes a list of past recipients. The most precise and complete name for the article would be Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship Program, but it also could be called Walter Byers Scholarship. (These and several other potential alternative names all redirect to this article.) --Orlady (talk) 16:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the page creator, I have already noted at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Walter Byers Scholarship that I am willing to rename, but it will take an admin to do so because the page has a ton of redirects already created at all logic move/rename destinations.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 19:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In order to have this moved by an admin, I proposed the move at Wikipedia:Requested moves. I listed it under "Other proposals" (instead of "Uncontroversial proposals") because of uncertainty as to which of the possible new names would be best. This is the place to discuss the choice of a new name. --Orlady (talk) 03:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any preference for a new name then? Keith D (talk) 16:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess "Walter Byers Scholarship" probably makes the most sense, but I'm no expert on the topic... --Orlady (talk) 00:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per the above discussion, I've moved the page to Walter Byers Scholarship. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know. -GTBacchus^(talk) 09:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
