Article requests :
Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)
Requested articles (Motor sports)
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
Other :
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red.
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

YUG/SCG/SRB[edit]

IHF consider the Serbian national team to be the direct and sole successor of the Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro teamshttps://www.ihf.info/competitions/junior-men/310/2019-ihf-mens-junior-u21-world-championship/6215/teams/119 DusanSilniVujovic (talk) 19:21, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*as Yugoslavia, ** as Serbia and Montenegro clearly points to different countries. Pelmeen10 (talk) 16:49, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hyperion82 and Kante4: opinions? Pelmeen10 (talk) 19:36, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pelmeen10: Yup, different ones per IHF. Kante4 (talk) 19:39, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pelmeen10: I agree, these are different national teams. Hyperion82 (talk) 20:08, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hyperion82 and Kante4: Besides the IP edits I reverted, some parts of this article still combine different countries together. Pelmeen10 (talk) 20:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pelmeen10: I can't see these parts. In addition to the years with asterix (*), I can add this sentence from this article - "And with just one Olympic Games (2012) since independence in 2006, the lack of visibility on the global stage will have hit hard in the handball-mad country". So, it seems for me as another confirmation of separation of Serbia and predecessor teams at the IHF site. Hyperion82 (talk) 20:44, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1938 Germany[edit]

Should the host/winner country in 1938 not be Nazi Germany instead of Germany? StativStakitKasket (talk) 14:16, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
