Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)

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

The result of the move request was: moved by Aervanath (talk · contribs). Jenks24 (talk) 08:44, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edinburgh Sevens → Scotland Sevens – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2012 (UTC) Since it will move to Glasgow from 2012 on (added a ref at the article), this article should be moved to Scotland Sevens. The page links to here (Edingburgh Sevens) and the scottish 7's team, which can be excluded. Kante4 (talk) 20:34, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its name seems to be Glasgow Sevens now.[1] Is there any evidence of people calling it Scotland Sevens. AIRcorn (talk) 07:48, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Found this,[2] but not sure it is enough. AIRcorn (talk) 07:54, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is listed under Scotland on the IRB site: [3]. But it is also spoke of as Glasgow. A unified name for these competitions is desirable as it may well move every few years and the information on the Sevens Series will be all over the place. --Bob247 (talk) 02:21, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It might be best to just use the country then (there is already South Africa Sevens, USA Sevens and Japan Sevens). The Adelaide Sevens page will probable need to be merged into the Gold Coast Sevens page and renamed too. AIRcorn (talk) 02:40, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IRB.com states it as Scotland Sevens so i would go with that. Kante4 (talk) 16:53, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support move per common sense. AIRcorn (talk) 01:20, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
