List

This article has been rated as List-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

Pompeii brawl

This list should include the brawl between the residents of Pompeii and Nuceria at the gladiatorial games held in the Amphitheatre of Pompeii in AD 59. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2002:4738:C470:0:21E:C2FF:FEA9:2961 (talk) 19:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

College sports riots

There is one mention of a college fan riot, is it worth mentioning others like the College Park UMd riot? http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/01/biggest-college-campus-riots-in-history/maryland-riots-after-loss-to-duke

in fact there could almost be one whole section devoted to college sport riots.

Aggieville riots

Could use some attention. The first sentence is very unclear, e.g., the score was not the same in both games (according to linked page). The place-name also could be clarified, in that Aggieville is in Manhattan KS, as opposed to referring to the Texas A&M Aggies. ProfessorAndro (talk) 14:38, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting of Detroit 1984 World Series Riot

I don't understand how my addition of the Detroit 1984 World Series Riot is in a brick red font instead of the default font color of other items in the table. I invite others to correct the formatting.
