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

Schwarzenegger

I have removed Arnold Schwarzenegger from this list as he did not become an US citizen until after he retired from professional bodybuilding, therefore he is not eligible from this list. Had he been an US citizen at the time of his career, then yes, he is eligible. Donnie Park (talk) 16:00, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about Rory Fitzpatrick?

additional people, too hard to edit the chart without destroying format

Bob St. Clair, Lynn Swann, Michel Faulkner, (college player, made the NFL but seems he never played a game, multiple times ran for office and lost, but other candidates who lost are listed Mario Cuomo was a minor leaguer)

not sure if they should count because they weren't players, but maybe should be listed sepratly since they are in the baseball hall of famers Morgan Bulkeley , Happy Chandler, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Jacob Ruppert

links to sources are on their wiki pages
