Todo list:

Here are some tasks you can do:

Article requests: Fix map to show Norh Dakota in Frontier Conference (Dickinson State University)
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.) Skeleton (sport) (bizarre tone which could do with some copyediting)
Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Expand: Average (sports) (crucial article explaining the concept, nomenclature, math; redir to it from Average (sport); use Batting average as starting point for ideas)
Photo: for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of sports and games, Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Society#Sport and referenced categories.
Split: Cross-training into Cross-training and Cross-training (business); Hockey puck into Puck (sports) (w/ Puck (sport) redir) and Hockey puck (and update Puck DAB page)
Stubs: work on articles in Category:Sports stubs
Other:
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red. Details and list needed to be done
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project

[edit] Comment

Why does this need a Wikipedia article?? Are there many people who think there really were Olympics in 1916?? 66.245.119.206 00:04, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

H.L. Mencken had something to say on that point - not about the Olympics, but about it being impossible to underestimate the intelligence of...ah well, people, I don't want to be US-centric here ;-) even when it's directed at my own country. Ellsworth 22:54, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

For the sake of completeness, if nothing else. It could even go further in-deph, illustrating how much work was done, and the details behind the cancellation. Nprefontaine 23:41, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)

There was planning and preparation. It was not a null event. -68.90.158.6 (talk) 03:28, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Is there any type of main image anyone can get for this to make this look similar to the other pages of the Olympic Games?

Was there ever any image/logo for the 1916 games?

A program cover, official logo, etc.?
