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."
Add statistics on which sports are the most popular (by participation, total audience including TV etc. - we already have List of sports attendance figures)
Turn some See Also links into sections in this article.
Add coverage of sociology, philosophy, economics and criticism (e.g. Noam Chomsky) of sport
Change the definition according to Oxford Dictionary: "An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment"

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner and one loser.
Please remove "and one loser". There's no fundamental reason that a tiebreaker must apply only to situations with exactly two competitors. For example, Tiebreaker#Field target discusses a situation in which five shooters are tied for first place, so all five of them enter a tiebreaker, and whether "loser" applies to #2-#5 or only to #5 isn't defined. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 01:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
