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

Citizenship of Mamleev[edit]

in 2004 Mamleev had russian citizenship rather than italian

Yes, probably. I used IOF's web-site "World Cup 2002" – International Orienteering Federation as source for the 2002 World Cup, and it says "2) Mikhail Mamleev ITA 348". There is probably an error in that list, not handling the nation shift properly. We can either "assume" that the list is wrong and change from ITA to RUS, but it's better to also find (and cite) a source that clearly supports it. Oceanh (talk) 01:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Cup vs Championship[edit]

Someone please add to this page an explanation of how the Orienteering World Cup differs from the Orienteering World Championship. --Una Smith (talk) 04:10, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
