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."

ALT1:... that Mantu Ghosh(pictured) was featured in the Limca Book of Records when she set a new record of becoming youngest national table tennis champion of India in 1990? Source: Limca Book of Records. Bisleri Beverages Limited. 2006. p. 452. "Youngest National champion Mantu Ghosh was 16 when she won the title at Jaipur in 1990-91"
The article meets the criteria of newness, length and is adequately referenced. No close paraphrasing or plagiarism noticed. QPQ done and the image appears to have no licensing issues. The article could do with some tweaks for clarity. I suggest that the original hook be rephrased thus: that Mantu Ghosh (pictured) became the youngest national table tennis champion of India in 1990?. I prefer this hook since the link is readily verifiable. Ashwin147 (talk) 10:15, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ashwin147, thank you for the review and your suggestion. Can you please do the needful "tweaking"? Or, tell me what portion needs a better clarity and I'd try my hand on it. Proposing the new hook based on your suggestion:-Deepak G Goswami (talk) 15:37, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2:... that Mantu Ghosh(pictured) became the youngest national table tennis champion of India in 1990?
ALT2 seems fine. But perhaps we can have the article copy edited once. Can User:Can I Log In help? Then we can send ALT2 to the prep area. Ashwin147 (talk) 05:46, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
