Sports

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of sport-related topics on Wikipedia. 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

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

Hi PK650,

I've updated the entry to be more objective. Please review and update, as the information on the entry from 2020 is out of date and incorrect:

FieldLevel, Inc. is an online recruiting platform that connects athletes, coaches, teams, and families with opportunities to advance their athletic careers. Established in 2008, the platform facilitates the recruiting process by providing tools for athletes to showcase their skills and for coaches to discover and connect with potential recruits. The platform supports various sports and aims to increase accessibility to athletic opportunities at various levels, from youth and high school programs to collegiate and professional teams. FieldLevel emphasizes the importance of well-maintained athlete profiles, efficient search tools, and seamless communication between coaches and players.

having useful and complete profiles
making search easy and powerful
ensuring quality and seamless communication

Success Metrics

+149,000 athletes have recorded their commitments on FieldLevel.[1]

+9,900 recruiting needs have been posted by colleges.[3]
+$1.1 billion in scholarships have been generated on the platform.[4]

Why it should be changed:

The information was written years ago by someone who is no longer with the company. The information is very outdated and our company has changed/grown significantly. This entry contains information that isn't factual about the website/company.
