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

Makes sense to combine. They are providing the same information.

I agree

Popular culture[edit]

I don't think that information about fletching as a skill in some MMORPG is relevant. It is probably used in a lot of other RPGs and fantasy books, besides RuneScape doesn't even link here. --91.84.42.237 17:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of "Urban" definition[edit]

The reason why I removed the "Urban" definition is because it's Felch...not Fletch that the definition was alluding to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.61.143 (talk) 17:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Arrowsmithing[edit]

Where is the information about the actual construction of arrows? I only see the information on arrow feathers here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.1.203 (talk) 05:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tampons[edit]

Is the bit about tampons necessary? It seems to be a bit of a tangent, sourced or not.124.170.94.188 (talk) 12:24, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mongol and Japanese fletchers[edit]

I came here because I was reading an article which casually mentioned, "...pagan Mongol steppe warriors who had lacquered, reticulated short bows that they could fire from horseback and which could penetrate armor. (Mongols had very sophisticated fletchers)." I'd love to see more information about Mongol fletchers here. There also seems to be some wiki content already on Japanese arrow types; perhaps some of that could be incorporated to make a better overall summary article. C.
