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

this is not seen as a sustainable option I had to look this up in the source to find out what it was talking about. can you add a bit moire from the source to exoplain what is meant by "sustainable" here?

Having played elite hockey on a sand surface - ouch!
I also wasn't aware of the blue hockey pitch. The first time I ever saw one was in London 2012.

FN 25 - page number?
Frequent - publishers? access dates?

Some minor fixes and the article will be good. Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:52, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hawkeye7, many thanks for taking the time to review this. I've clarified the prose and done other minor source fixes (diff). However, the frequent refs were not missing publishers so not sure what you meant there. Regards, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 09:20, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's great. Passing now. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:21, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
