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

Mostly OR?

The list of extreme sports is so inclusive that is does not make much sense. If extreme sport is virtually any kind of sport then it is a redundant concept. We need reliable sources for inclusion in the list, not merely the opinion or judgment of contributors. The article on Freestyle skiing does not mention extreme sport, still one contributor insist on including. --— Erik Jr. 20:45, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[1] "The sports most commonly placed in this group are skateboarding, snowboarding, freestyle skiing, in-line roller-skating, street lugeing, and BMX and mountain biking." --Pelmeen10 (talk) 20:57, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the list is very long and linked article does not support claim. --— Erik Jr. 21:32, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kite ice skating - extreme? This article really needs to be renovated. --— Erik Jr. 22:53, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Snowmobiling is part of the Winter X Games besides snowboarding and freestyle skiing. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:29, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but sources must be cited and articles for each of these sports must also document that these are indeed extreme sports. --— Erik Jr. 00:41, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave the tag until the issue is resolved. Reference should be in article, not on discussion page. — Erik Jr. 00:44, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't you help? Wikipedia is a community project. There's a Encyclopedia of Extreme Sports, or just Google search. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:11, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just remove, it was debated in the past (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_extreme_sports), and problems with POV and OR have been not address, yet people insist calling some activities more danger than others without proper source comparing rate of death or injuries per practitioners.

Underwater diving

No source provided to support this claim, not even mentioned Underwater diving. Seems like OR or perhaps POV? --— Erik Jr. 16:10, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The “morality” section doesn’t talk about morality

The “morality” section on this page does not contain any mention of morality. It simply reiterates that 1. Extreme sports involve a degree of danger and 2. That danger is part of the appeal of extreme sports. This could be the start of a substantive discussion of moral arguments for and against extreme sports, but right now it is not. This section should either be deleted or majorly elaborated upon. 2601:184:4A7F:86D0:C465:ED2D:3300:4E1 (talk) 06:21, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
