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

Hi Lee! Taking a quick look through this article, I will have to quick fail it per WP:GAFAIL. Specifically, this article is a long way from passing the Broadness criteria. In the Men's competition subsection, none of the Group A, Group B, and quarterfinal matches are summarized here. If you don't want to summarize of all the Group matches for the men's, a general summary of each Group should be provided. Otherwise, the 4 quarterfinal matches should be provided here.

Alternatively, a Women's competition subsection is missing in the Summary section. None of the women's Group, quarterfinal, semifinals or medal matches are summarized there. Similarly, you could provide a general summary of the Group A and Group B matches. After that, the 4 quarterfinals, 2 semifinals and 2 medal games should be provided here like the Men's competition.

It is concerning that the women's competition is not summarized at all and that a combined total of 12 knockout matches are missing (4 men, 8 women). These should be included like at Water polo at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament. I hope you decide to continue to work on this article and resubmit this to GAN when it is ready. Thank you for submitting this to GAN :)
