Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)

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

I do not want to be a wikipedia editor but I did notice what I believe to be a glaring error in this page. I tried to correct it and within seconds it had been reverted (which I am not suprised about because it was not formatted correctly). If I had found this page earlier I would have used it first.

Now I could remove the dubious part of the page but there does not seem to be any way to explain why, so there is every chance that some high-handed editor will just revert that.

I believe the first world championship was not held in America (as stated) but in Hammersmith, England, in early 1992. I am not 100% certain about the date but I am entirely sure about the other particulars because I was playing for the Molesey Maniacs at the time (who won). It was a genuine world championship, I recall teams from France and Germany being there. In fact thinking about it it might well have pre-dated the European championships mentioned which might be why they were called the European rather than world championships since both would certainly have accepted teams from anywhere in the world.

I suggest that someone else removes the contentious claim until the matter is resolved because I have no intention of getting into a delete/revert cycle which has happened before.

The most notable player in England at the time (in my view) was a character called Lee Jellyhead, the captin of our arch-rivals the London Lunis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andylear1 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes[edit]

I have two minor comments on the recent changes:

I like the idea to include a list of notable unicycle hockey players. However, with only 1 entry, I'd say that the list is somewhat, well, unbalanced. I think that more should be added. There are many really good unicycle hockey players out there.

The new ref 10 seems to be a duplicate of ref 9. Both point to [1]. RolfSander (talk) 09:48, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added another notable player and removed the duplicate citation CT55555(talk) 12:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
