Category

This category does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

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'm part way through improving the categorization of the articles under this category.

I've noticed in two subcategories, Category:National records in track cycling and Category:National records in Olympic weightlifting, only a few are in form "List of ...". For example, most are in the form Australian records in Olympic weightlifting. In contrast, this is inconsistent with articles in the other subcategories like Category:National records in athletics (track and field), where all 233 are explicitly titled as list articles.

The articles not in the form "List of..." seem to be stand alone lists. Argentine records in track cycling for example, is very similar in nature to both List of Argentine records in swimming and List of Estonian records in track cycling. I believe this is true for all of these articles I've visited so far.

I intend to move all the pages in question to include 'List of' in their titles: e.g. Albanian records in Olympic weightlifting → List of Albanian records in Olympic weightlifting. As this would involve about 100+ page moves, I thought it would be wise to get some input or consensus before making any moves, or before submitting to Wikipedia:Requested moves if deemed potentially controversial. Pinging @Almagestas: and @Montell 74:, two I've noticed heavily edit these articles. Any thoughts from anyone of course, are welcome and appreciated. --DB1729 (talk) 18:36, 17 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
