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

Penguins - Rugby Union[edit]

Does the claim refer to the Taroona Rugby Club? It appears that club has had a home field for decades, but perhaps the Tasmanian location led to barnstorming throughout the rest of Australia. Did a Taroona team engage in barnstorming? Who else might "Penguins" refer to in Rugby Union? 69.119.24.98 (talk) 13:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Need for a listing[edit]

I think there is need for a listing of barnstorming teams by sport. I'll start one on the page such that others can continue contributing and adding to it werldwayd (talk) 16:48, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

US phrase?[edit]

I have never heard the phrase used outside of US sports. In Europe people tend to use the term "touring teams" or "touring sides" (as in, all they ever do is tour - they have no home stadium). If that's correct, and if we can find an appropriate WP:RS, the intro should probably reflect that. --Legis (talk - contribs) 19:41, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Golf - LIV Golf[edit]

LIV Golf is not a team, it is a professional golf tour. They do not stage exhibition matches. CarryTheG (talk) 08:17, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
