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

Edition-specific information

I'm thinking that the long paragraphs of general information about the America's Cup should be removed in favour of information that is specific to this particular edition of the event. It is probably a good idea to provide a summary of the overall competition but it currently is too long and makes it difficult for readers trying to find out about this specific edition. Anyone looking for more detailed information about the history and deed of gift should probably be finding it from the America's Cup page rather than this page. Let me know what you think.

Host

Someone needs to add information about the bidding process, and that Barcelona will host in 2024. 122.62.124.200 (talk) 03:12, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Too much context

In this article, the current entire second-level subheading "History" and the third-level subheading "Rules for Issuing Challenge" seem to belong in the parent article about the America's Cup in general - not in the article about the 2024 edition. The Summary Style editorial policy is that articles should contain information pertinent to the topic specifically, and extensive details about higher or lower level things should be broken off and placed in articles with that relevant scope.

In short - THIS article need not include a description of the entire history of the competition and its rules, but only the rules that are new or especially relevant to this edition, and perhaps the immediate previous edition for context. Witty lama 12:59, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree! I now shortened the history section drastically and inserted a link to the main article. V.Glas (talk) 12:29, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article name discussion - 37th America's Cup

Once again, all the branding and news sources reporting on this event name it by the ordinal, as has been the case for many years. Yet Wikipedia once again has named the article with the year of the regatta. Under WP:COMMONNAME I feel this article should be named "37th America's Cup". Due to WP:CONSISTENT if there is any agreement on this, a meta discussion regarding the previous America's Cups should also take place. JoltColaOfEvil (talk) 22:19, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
