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

Change Sport in the first sentence to sport. Arjunt2007 (talk) 02:32, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made a slightly different change that resolved the problem, which was created by a recent unexplained edit. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. HiLo48 (talk) 02:43, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
