If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SportsWikipedia:WikiProject SportsTemplate:WikiProject Sportssports articles

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

Arbitron vs. on-air notation

I've removed the Arbitron notation for the Sirius channels as being irrelevant. The XS notation for Sirius channels simply isn't used except for Arbitron logging; better to identify the channels according to standard on-air practice. Haikupoet 01:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Table Format

I'm altering the format to a table too see which stationsare missing information. As I go along, I'm updating the infoboxes at each station. -----Adimovk5 17:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Low rated, -- So How do they exist?

The article admits early on what most everyone knows; sports-talk is "A wide spread, but low rated genre,[1]...."

At first glance this appears to be a contradiction of the Market. Yet this foundational and existential topic is not raised. Some say that they are so popular with radio owners because they have built-in sponsorship. Whatever the reason, the article deserves an explanation.

Tautology

Previously the opening sentence in this article had included the line "A widespread programming genre that has a lower audience appeal than formats which attract wider audiences". I get what the previous author was getting at, but unfortunately the way this is phrased is tautological, and is true about any genre (or anything) at all. I've changed the sentence to both simplify it and (hopefully) preserve the intent of the earlier author to ""A widespread programming genre that has a narrow audience appeal". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.176.250 (talk) 18:41, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
