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."
Badly needs updating and pictures, and deletion of the uncredited block of old text someone dropped in. I'll have a go at this in due course, but would be grateful for help. Any other Teddington/Hampton/elsewhere residents who would like to add stuff? Hampton Court Home Park needs work too. Mark Nesbitt 08:48, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly all done.- Adam37Talk 10:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm missing a clear statement about the origin of the name (just bushy as in bushes?) and its age -- it was apparently known as Bushy Park in Wolsey's time, but how long before then? Ijon (talk) 21:31, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not long before, as no references, even in the surviving parchment deeds and returns of both Hampton and Teddington manors, feets of fine, Inqs. Post Mortem, other taxation/conveyance related documents of before then just as one would expect for what was no more than the fields and woods of a great, enviable manor at the time, of which there were many.

"The park's mildly acid grasslands are mostly just above the 25-foot contour"[edit]
First sentence in the second paragraph of the introduction. There is no indication of the meaning or significance of this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.221.91.66 (talk) 16:19, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I assume it means 25 feet above sea level but I have deleted as its relevance is unclear. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:46, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously it is relative great prominence (height) in maps. It meets (policies) both WP:V, no new research, and distills what the maps of the large site tell us, but will doubtless offend those who like more words when they are simply not needed; this is not a general pamphlet, but a well-categorised encyclopedia whereby the context is as clear as crystal.- Adam37Talk 10:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
