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

Comment from subject[edit]

From Steve Haake: I would like to help with citations and have made some suggestions below.

Regarding: "He serves as director of research for the Sheffield section of the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine.[6][3]" This should be: "Between 2014 and 2016 he acted as director of research for the Sheffield section of the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine.[6][3]" ref

Awards and honours: "In 2014, Haake was named as a RISE (Recognising Inspirational Scientists and Engineers) leader by the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)" ref

Personal information: Change: "As of September 2020 his personal best time for the marathon is 3 hours and 17 minutes.[6]" to: "As of September 2020 his personal best time for the marathon is 3 hours and 15 minutes in Manchester in 2015, although the route was subsequently found to be 380 metres short.[6]" ref ref

Many thanks! Steve from Sheffield 15:47, 3 October 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevehaake (talk • contribs)

@Stevehaake: Thank you for doing the right thing by commenting here, with sources, rather than editing the article yourself. I've made various changes using the information you provide. Commiserations about the Manchester Marathon time: ironic that as a sports engineer you were snookered by a technology failure. Presumably they used something rather more sophisticated to measure yesterday's London laps.

We didn't have any mention of RISE awards, but we have now - and I'll check the list of RISE Leaders to make sure we have Wikipedia articles on them all. Thanks. PamD 20:17, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
