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

Reliable source for lead claim[edit]

The lead makes the claim that "one million (Australians) are involved in shooting and firearms". However the source for that is some random who is a gun enthusiast. The figure seems too high and the source unreliable. "Are involved in" is also too vague. I think it should be removed. - Shiftchange (talk) 20:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've marked it as dubious, which will also link to this discussion page. The SSAA, which is the largest shooting club in Australia has somewhere between 170,000 to 200,000 members. There are other clubs of course, and some shooters (farmers, cash-in-transit guards, etc) are not required to be members of clubs. The article Gun laws in Australia states that in 2007 there were 765,000 involved. This again was from SSAA. I've nothing against the SSAA as I am a member, but I would like to see statistics from the something more neutral such as the police licencing departments in each state.--Dmol (talk) 23:32, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just found the latest figures for SSAA. Their July 2015 magazine says they have 172,102 members. --Dmol (talk) 04:47, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
