Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)

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

Sources

Can anybody get any sources for this list? -- Scorpion 18:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correction needed for 1982 and 1983, with source newspapers 17 December 1982 and 22 December 1983. Gretzky (unanimous) and Hansen (auxiliary winner) was 1982; only Gretzky won in 1983. Yes, errors in all initial news reports on 8 December 2020 (as media were using wikipedia to quote Hansen as a 1983 winner instead of a 1982 winner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rscott187 (talk • contribs) 04:43, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting discussion

Heh, it looks like there are a few of us tripping over each other here, so I figured this would be a common spot to discuss improvements. Here are my 2c, feel free to chime in. — MrDolomite | Talk 15:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shaded rows - easier to read list, harder to edit, doesn't do much for me. — MrDolomite | Talk
* and ** - very hard to see, should be some type of wikilink, be it <ref>, or {{ref}} or some other method. — MrDolomite | Talk
Number of columns - One is better than Two, as it is easier to read on all screen widths. — MrDolomite | Talk
nonbreaking spaces - either hardcode the column width or use nbsp or {{nowrap}} to improve readability. — MrDolomite | Talk

Sortable tables

The tables need work. They sort individuals by first name, not last. Otherwise this page might need to go to an FL review to see if it should lose that status. --Muboshgu (talk) 14:25, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
