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."

According to the current article header, the Bonnies are the varsity sports of St. Bonaventure University. Someone has just added a sentence on the school's club ice hockey team. Does that belong in this article? If so, should rugby also be mentioned? Should they be gathered in a separate section on club sports? But the sentence on the ice hockey team states that it is a member of the ACHA, and the article on the ACHA describes it as the governing body for non-varsity college ice hockey teams. So if the Bonnies are varsity sports, then does mention of club teams not belong here? Jbening (talk) 20:43, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My opinion on this has always been no, they shouldn't. By titling articles such as this "St. Bonaventure Bonnies" and not "Sports at St. Bonaventure University" (or something like that), it is implied that only the information about the Bonnies (i.e., only those sports officially sanctioned to use the school's official nickname/licensing) should be included in the article. Information about club sports, in my opinion, should go on the school's page under the Student Life section. That said, I've seen club sports included on quite a few varsity program pages (here, for example), so you may want to raise the issue elsewhere (the relevant college sports wikiprojects, the universities wikiproject, etc.), assuming you haven't already posted something I missed. I think it's an important thing to discuss, and I'd be happy to chip in to any discussions you start (and to help implement a consensus, if people come to one). Thanks for bringing this up!

I'm going to hold off removing the NPOV tag until Alexf has a chance to weigh in here if they want, but I can't agree with it. My guess is that it was placed because a couple of recent edits were made by a username GoBonnies. But those edits amount only to 1.1% of the article text, and anyway it's hardly surprising that an article on a university's athletics programs would be contributed to by a person with some connection to the university. My hunch is that alumni of universities generally account for a large fraction of all text in Wikipedia articles relating to their alma maters. And the actual content of this article strikes me as pretty matter-of-fact--not the sort of puffery I imagine the tag was created to warn readers of. And the creator and by far major contributor to this article self-reports as a Williams College alum without any overt connection to SBU. Anyone else have any thoughts on this subject?
