If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SportsWikipedia:WikiProject SportsTemplate:WikiProject Sportssports articles

To-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

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

Motor - piped to Internal combustion engine[edit]

Hello, I've piped the link for motor (in the Motorized Racing section) to Internal combustion engine as it seemed that this was correct. If not, feel free to point it to a more appropriate place. Thanks for reading. Politepunk 11:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The current conventional wheeled Land speed record for railed vehicles is set by a TGV with Electric motors that are powered by electric power plants miles away from the vehicle. The article on Internal combustion engines does not cover Rocket engines much at all (although the rocket engine article does mention that most rockets are internal combustion engines). Vehicle class speed records have been set by steam locomotives such as the LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard as well as the external combustion Gardner-Serpollet "Easter Egg" (in 1902). Hence, I think that linking directly to the more general Motor article would be more appropriate for this article. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 02:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Land Speed Racing?[edit]

Would land speed racing fit into this article? I think it should be in there, but it encompasses both 4 wheel and motorcycles. Hoagie3000 15:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Drifting[edit]

This should not be included as it is not technically a form of racing, rather it is a display of artistry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.53.110.143 (talk) 22:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Split[edit]

Splitted out from Talk:Racing Kslotte (talk) 23:12, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Goal here is to get all types of races listed. Hopefully also some type of short compact description for each race type. Later also some type of navboxes can be made. Kslotte (talk) 23:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Term[edit]

Is term racing form better to use then racing type? Kslotte (talk) 23:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kslotte (talk • contribs) 03:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious entries in the animal section[edit]

I removed the redlink "Nudibranch racing" as it seems like pretty obvious vandalism, but there's another dubious entry-- "Lobster racing." Google turns up references to at least one actual lobster racing event; should we therefore keep that entry despite it being a redlink? 69.111.191.86 (talk) 03:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
