C

This article has been rated as C-class 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

Giant slalom skiing → Giant slalom – Common name; "giant slalom skiing" is rather uncommon, and the disambiguation is not required. As the other slaloms have no giant version there is no potential for misunderstanding. 88.88.165.222 (talk) 02:09, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "skiing". The word "slalom" occurs in other sports. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:47, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is why we have slalom and slalom skiing. You will have noticed that Giant slalom is a redirect. This is because it is the only giant slalom. Furthermore "slalom skiing" is occasionally used for "alpine skiing". This is not the case for "giant slalom skiing". Giant slalom is the name and the common name of the discipline. 88.88.165.222 (talk) 11:39, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
