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

The article Sports of Milwaukee was recently made, but should be merged into this article, since this is the proper naming convention for such articles (see Sports in Chicago or Sports in New York City, etc) --ZimZalaBim (talk) 19:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just merged them. Had I been able to find Sports in Milwaukee, I wouldn't have created Sports of Milwaukee. --Illwauk— Preceding undated comment added 21:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Cool - can I go ahead and delete Sports of Milwaukee now? --ZimZalaBim (talk) 21:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)~~[reply]

I deleted it. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 04:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NCAA hoops text

I snipped this from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin page with the intention of pasting it here, but much of the relevant text is already incorporated, and the whole "renaissance" language is too flowery anyway. Pasting here to archive:

Men's college basketball is currently enjoying a renaissance in the city as both of its NCAA Division I teams - the Marquette Golden Eagles and the Milwaukee Panthers, have made the post season in each of the past four years (three NCAA appearances for Milwaukee and two for Marquette). Starting with the 2007-08 season, the schools will rekindle their annual rivalry game which has been dormant since 1998.

Additional Others

Should something about the United States Bowling Congress be added? Since it is, afterall, head-quartered in Milwaukee. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.48.161.19 (talk • contribs) 13:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stone Cold

I realized, after I added the "citation needed" remark to the Stone Cold line, that you linked to the article in wikipedia where it states that exact fact. However, I've decided to leave it there b/c it really should be cited either in this article OR in that one, and its currently cited in neither. Cheers, PaddyM 00:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
