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

image

Is there any type of main image anyone can get for this to make this look similar to the other pages of the Olympic Games? A program cover, official logo, etc.? Was there ever one created for these games?

Political category?

Why does this article have a political category? Cancellation due to World War II is the reason?--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IV Olympic Winter Games ?

The heading of the infoboks says «IV Olympic Winter Games». Garmisch in 1936 was the 4th. Sapporo in 1940 would have been the 5th. When 1940 was cancelled, Cortina in 1944 became the 5th.

1944 was also cancelled, so St. Moritz in 1948 became the actual 5th, but IV in 1944 is wrong no matter what. 1000mm (talk) 16:34, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
