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

Please change this, as the school's name was changed:

| Rochester University | Rochester College | Rochester = [[Rochester University|Rochester]]

into

| Rochester University | Rochester College | Rochester = [[Rochester Christian University|Rochester]] Natg 19 (talk) 22:46, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Natg 19 Shouldn't that be

| Rochester Christian University | Rochester University | Rochester College | Michigan Christian College = [[Rochester Christian University|Rochester Christian]]
| University of Rochester = [[University of Rochester|Rochester]]

I'm not sure that "Rochester" would primarily be for this school and not University of Rochester, especially since the latter is an NCAA school and the former isn't. --Ahecht (TALK

That is fine to me. Just want to fix a disambiguation page at Rochester University. Natg 19 (talk) 15:53, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
