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

PROD

Since the 2010 Commonwealth Games has not started yet, exactly what did you expect on this page? Gold medals? World Records? 76.66.200.95 (talk) 06:41, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would expect that the page not be created until there was actual content for it. I don't get the point of dozens of placeholder articles, I don't even get the point of giving each country it's own entry... I think all this clutter will make it harder for readers to find useful information about the Games.

I'm thinking information on the preparations and team. We could also include the Queen's baton [1]. --Banana (talk) 22:38, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

England at the 2010 Commonwealth Games is a good guide for a basic structure to the article.--Banana (talk) 06:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great work, Banana! Taking down my cranky-pants tag. :-) Tarastar42 (talk) 06:56, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Tarastar42[reply]

Merger Proposal

I'm not sure which one (The Gambia or Gambia) should be used. Thoughts? --Banana (talk) 22:24, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to just go with The Gambia. --Banana (talk) 04:59, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mix-up

The Gambia section has all the information of Namibia's team so the info should be shifted to Namibia's section and The Gambia deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.212.171 (talk) 02:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Good catch :) --Banana (talk) 04:58, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
