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

Only elimination games in first two playoff rounds[edit]

Can we limit (in the first two rounds of the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs) results only to those of games that involve teams being eliminated? It will save up space for other events. Thanks. NoseNuggets 8:07 AM US EDT

If we're going to have writeups about cricket tours or the final week of the regular season in the British soccer leagues that are the length of War and Peace, I can't see what harm two-sentence writeups on the NHL/NBA playoffs can do. Kirjtc2 12:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bonds?[edit]

Am I the only one that's suprised there is no mention of Barry Bonds and his chase for Ruth? Google News has over 1,700 stories NYT SF Chronical ~Anon

Bonds ties Ruth with homer No. 714 ... major story [1] ~Anon.

World Championship[edit]

Where is the section on the 2006 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships? The rounds have begun. ~Anon

June 206 now started[edit]

I started the June 2006 in sports page for you. NoseNuggets 6:05 PM US EDT May 29 2006
