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."

@MisterCake: There are no direct ties to the SAIAA that I have ever found. Is there any reason you suspected they were related? Cnd474747 (talk) 17:15, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I believe they were in both at once, which was not unheard of at the time despite being uncommon. For example, Duke was in both the SIAA and the NC Athletics Association in the early 1900s (roughly 1900-1901) despite not sponsoring football; as a general rule, a team in two conferences followed the stricter set of rules (if they bothered following the rules at all, as teams often didn't) and used them as a way to help guarantee games, as teams in a conference were often dissuaded or even banned from playing non-member teams. For example, the SIAA forbade member teams from playing non-member college teams for most of the 1900s (1900-1910, to be clear) , especially after circa 1905. It's especially possible with the SAIAA as they primarily sponsored track for many of their early years. Cnd474747 (talk) 12:40, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
