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

Page moved to Silver Wings (parachute team). Vegaswikian (talk) 22:37, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Army Command Exhibition Parachute Team - Silver Wings → U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence Command Exhibition Parachute Team - Silver Wings – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC) This is the appropriate name. The U.S. Army Command Exhibition Parachute Team is the Golden Knights. 150.226.95.18 (talk) 00:30, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per the Fort Benning website, the Silver Wings SOP and internal paperwork, the team is officially called the "Command Exhibition Parachute Team", unofficially the "Silver Wings." Although it is associated with the Maneuver Center of Excellence, this association is not included in its title. Perhaps the West Point wiki site can be named "U.S. Army Command Exhibition Parachute Team - Golden Knights" to make the distinction between the two teams clear.

Comment why not just call it Silver Wings (parachute team) ? 76.65.129.5 (talk) 06:16, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Silver Wings (parachute team) per WP:COMMONNAME. No need for a typically pompous military full title when there's a perfectly good short and common title. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:06, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
