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 articles

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

I suggest renaming the page to Sports in Boston for the sake of consistency with other articles for sports in U.S. cities. The other long-time holdout from the "Sports in X" convention was Pittsburgh Sports, which has recently been renamed Sports in Pittsburgh. Spikebrennan 13:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Braves Field and Nickerson Field.JPG

The image Image:Braves Field and Nickerson Field.JPG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Quality, people

This page looks like crap. There are grammar issues left and right, and truly embarrassing spelling errors galore. 71.88.109.183 (talk) 15:44, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NOR synthesis, should be deleted?

Deletion consideration for the second paragraph's sentence about every decade: "Several Boston-area colleges and universities are active in college athletics. Boston has had at least one professional sports team (NHL, NBA, NFL, or MLB) play in a championship game in every single decade starting from the early 1900s with the Red Sox to the present 2000's with the Celtics, Red Sox, and Patriots." It has been suggested that merely interpreting what a list of facts states is considered to be NOR and possibly synthesis. I am attempting to get clarification on this (been a number of days without response). I may be wrong discussing this PRIOR to deletion of facts even though those facts may be synthesized since the consensus seems to be to delete facts first then "synthesize" a rationalization for it. Also citations are necessary for that sentence. Thank you for your time. Hholt01 (talk) 01:59, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Sports in Boston

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sports in Boston's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Boston":

From 2011 Stanley Cup Finals: Hutchinson, Craig (June 16, 2011). "Bruins Win the Stanley Cup: Ranking Boston's 7 Sports Championships This Century". Bleacher Report.
From Boston Red Sox: Abraham, Peter (August 31, 2011). "Red Sox announce spring training ticket prices at new JetBlue Park". The Boston Globe. Retrieved 2011-10-07.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:32, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
