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

Championship History

I propose for a table with Winners and Runners-up instead of that list.--Alexiulian25 (talk) 00:31, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Champions by number of titles it should have also a column for Runners-up.--Alexiulian25 (talk) 00:32, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Remove the hyphen from the title

A title change should be considered. A correct title would be "Besta deild karla" not "Besta-deild karla", i.e. without the hyphen. The hyphen is not used in any source, nor the Icelandic version of this article and is furthermore grammatically incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reikiavicensis (talk • contribs) 00:23, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I support the change. I originally renamed the article and I think the hyphen was used here on the Football Association of Iceland's website but I maybe mistaken. Regardless, it isn't used by FA and no sources use it so we should change it to Besta deild karla which seems to be the official name and is used by the media[1][2][3] Alvaldi (talk) 16:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

– Per above. The hyphen is not used in the website of KSÍ. Other media use the form without the hyphen. Intolerable situation (talk) 00:45, 6 August 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 10:26, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. It would have been helpful if they had provided the website they refer to, which I presume is this. Giant Snowman 08:39, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. While the hyphen was originally used on the KSÍ website (can still be seen in the menu under Mót here on archive.org), it isn't anymore. This change should also apply to the Besta-deild kvenna. Alvaldi (talk) 09:56, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: The second article request wasn't formatted, and no notifications was made on the second article. Relisting to allow page watchers of the second article to chime in if they want to. – robertsky (talk) 10:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
