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

Discussion on Merging[edit]

I think that this article may be a little skimp on overall data and if a global perspective is included with citations, I believe this could be a solid part of the Sports injury page. There is also a page that has not yet been made but is linked to from Sports injury called Sports-related concussions that could be used as a merge location or a redirection, provided that a broader perspective on sports concussions were to be addressed (ie including research regarding concussions across all sports, the relevance to these sports, both genders, and a global perspective). Discuss. Robotunicr0n (talk) 19:58, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did create a concussions in sport page, though it is primarily North America-centric, since I can't really find much sources. Zappa O Mati 20:01, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Perhaps link to this article from concussions in sport to remove this from orphan status? Also should address the other tags. Lack of sources does seem to be a problem for this article in particular. If we can't improve sources we should definitely consider merging to preserve the information, since if it stays like this there is a small possibility it might get deleted. Something to consider, at least. --Robotunicr0n (talk) 20:23, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was planning on creating a template for this page and the concussions in sport, concussions in American football, as well as the pages that I plan to create as part of my Concussion Project that I'm working on. Zappa O Mati 20:35, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah cool to see that project! Good job so far :). I would agree that merging this to concussions in sport would be the better idea. I'm going to go ahead and remove the tag on Sports injury that refers to a blank page, and replace it with a link to your main article. --Robotunicr0n (talk) 20:42, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll carry out the merge if you want me to. Zappa O Mati 04:00, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would probably be best. --Robotunicr0n (talk) 18:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get started. Zappa O Mati 18:54, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done Zappa O Mati 18:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just moved the merged page to User:ZappaOMati/sandbox/3, because when I was looking for references for concussions in hockey (page now here: User:ZappaOMati/sandbox), there were quite a handful of women's sport references that I could use, so I'm going to work on this now.

Awesome, great job! :) --Robotunicr0n (talk) 14:27, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
