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

Untitled[edit]

Just added the info regarding the winners of the 24 Hours of Daytona and the Daytona 500. I will be monitoring the auto-racing section throughout the year, adding info regarding championship winners, as well as winners of the more prestigious events, like the Indy 500, the 24 Hours of Lemans, and the Monaco Grand Prix. - Captain Spyro, February 2005

Note: I will also be covering the IROC series (International Race of Champions), as well as the Race of Champions, which was held in France last year. If you feel I am adding too much, please let me know. I'm just a hardcore motorsports fan. :) - Captain Spyro, February 2005

-03/19/05 - Added 12 Hours of Sebring update. As I said, my targets are the prestigous races of the world, as well as championship winners. I will not post full season results for any series. As far as the ALMS is concerned, I may add the results for the Petite LeMans. - Captain Spyro

Can someone add February to the football section, adding the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl? I don't know how... it is pretty ridiculous that the biggest yearly event in sports isn't on here. Zellin

Done. Cburnett 21:33, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Sumo?[edit]

There was a pretty big event in Sumo today but I'm not sure where to insert it here. I added it to Current sports events already. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 09:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If it's one of the two or three biggest events of the year in the sport, I suggest you put it in. There's enough weird sports on here to justify sumo. Sam Vimes 09:38, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I assume the list of sports is alphabetical? I think I stuck it in the right spot. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 11:03, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
