Sports

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of sport-related topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SportsWikipedia:WikiProject SportsTemplate:WikiProject Sportssports

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

Recent revisions

This article was recently rewritten, potentially for the worse. The prior version is available at [1] if anyone wants to figure out how to integrate that content into the present article (or revert back to it). Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:05, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Calliopejen1: If it is "enough" to be considered a copyvio, and not just bad quote farming (or similar), would you consider WP:RD1? (t) Josve05a (c) 21:32, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure the last ping worked, due to a missing signature, so I'll ping another user at the same time, and hope someone will see it. @Diannaa: (t) Josve05a (c) 21:32, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have done revision-deletion from the addition of the copyvio noted by Calliopejen1. This has the bonus of removing from the history the over-long quotations from copyright material, which technically do not need to be hidden. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:41, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thaks Diannaa! (On a side note when I'm writing to you, I'd wish that copypatrol could find "old" (overwritten) revisions and not just "new ones, as to find possible RD1s...know who I could ask?) (t) Josve05a (c) 03:02, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Copypatrol searches only new additions to the wiki. Searching old diffs would be prohibitively expensive as we pay an external service for each search we perform and there's been 784,816,342 revisions to the encyclopedia so far. Adding: Talk page for the copypatrol bot is located at meta:Talk:CopyPatrol. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:41, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
