Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)

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.

Notability

Guy Allen meets notability per WP:NRODEO

1. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association holds its finals, the National Finals Rodeo at the end of every year and elects champions in each of its event. Guy Allen is an 18 time World Steer Roping Champion, so per this guideline he meets the definition.[1]

2. The ProRodeo Hall of Fame has inducted Guy Allen into its hall of fame on 1996.[2]

3. In the Honors section, he's actually in seven halls of fame to date.

Reference being moved to Further reading

Alex Shih (talk · contribs) That reference you just moved (ProRodeo Records and Stats (PDF). Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. 2017. Retrieved January 21, 2018.) to Further reading is part of a book reference that goes with PRCA Awards, p. 613-615. Perhaps it should go in a Notes, Source, or Bibiography sub-section under References instead. That's how I have those references in other articles. It's the source (book citation) for his two horses' notability. My bad, I would appreciate your experienced advice. Also, see for List of Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Champions for proper uses. Thank you! dawnleelynn^(talk) 17:44, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dawnleelynn: Thanks, I wasn't really sure what would be the appropriate sub-section title, but "source" looks the best to me. I'll change it to "source" instead under "references", but please feel free to correct it to another better title (I just thought it needed formatting as the link looked misplaced being put together with inline citations). Cheers, Alex Shih (talk) 17:53, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Alex Shih:Yes, the link did look misplaced. I didn't put a heading like I normally do. What you did looks great. Thanks! And I learned a new tag today. The reply tag is new to me, and I really like it! Thanks for catching my mistake.dawnleelynn^(talk) 18:00, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
