Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)

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

- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

"Twirling" category[edit]

I haven't looked at the sports project page yet, but "twirling" seems like a superfluous category. It doesn't provide a useful grouping of articles—at least not one that other categories haven't already provided. The object manipulation category and the spinning/twirling section in the object manipulation article pretty much cover it.

One problem is that I have never heard anyone refer to "poi twirling" or "staff twirling." It's always "spinning," with a very occasional "swinging." It seems that someone looking for anything other than baton twirling (or possibly, cane twirling, though that article is dubious at best) would search for "spinning" or something more specific. I believe this category and article should be deleted, and the object manipulation article expanded (if necessary). Maybe just redirect to the article section?
