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

- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

Away

In Britain, rather than the home and road teams, we talk about the home and away teams. I think this article should be changed to incorporate both terms: road and away. Alex9788 12:30, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that only in the US and maybe Canada refers to home and road teams. I hear about teams going "on the road", but they go ""on the road to play away games". The article title really should incorporate away and road. --IanRitchie 07:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The weird thing is that the article lead says "more commonly known as an away game". In that case, why isn't this article at away game? Also, the article needs some cleanup and globalisation - "when the Lakers play the Clippers every year" means nothing to me, and high school sports in the US are wildly different from high school sport in the UK, for example. 86.136.250.66 (talk) 17:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
