Project

This page does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

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

Justification?[edit]

How is this essay justified? The discussion at the MoS in no way supports the opening line. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 12:00, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This essay rocks![edit]

Seeing that it is based on previous consensus and is quite clear, I think there is no choice but to avoid using the (shit)word winningest ! Yeah! All is good in the world again. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:25, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I suspected you were a troll—and now we have all the evidence. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 12:45, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have the evidence that I have a sarcastic sense of humor, that is all. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:54, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But, on a more serious note: The fact that this issue has been discussed and dealt with in the past, is highly relevant to the current MOS talk page discussion. This was a good find. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:55, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could have stopped after the first sentence, really. Reyk _YO! 15:20, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
