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

Is "dereck jetter is a cheater" relevant for this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.118.10 (talk) 12:09, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ordering

What's the reasoning behind the ordering of the sports here? It doesn't seem to be based either on alphabetical order or popularity. (I'd guess cricket is mostly a niche sport outside the UK, and far less popular than basket or ice hockey overall, for instance.) Mostly, it seems to be more or less random. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 19:12, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an article on the subject, which perhaps is not too scientific, but contains some valid points. https://humankinetics.me/2019/07/11/most-popular-sports-in-europe/ 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 23:42, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notable female players

This is of course slightly subjective (how are we categorising ‘notable’?) but surely this is missing Serena Williams? She’s one of the most successful tennis players ever. 109.249.189.136 (talk) 21:21, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Serena Williams was American, last I checked... 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 14:20, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
