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.

Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs

Timeline[edit]

Timeline - this timeline was removed because the citations in the timeline do not work, and there is no indication of the significance of these events. I was unable to fix the timeline as many of the events are quite obscure with very little information about them. If any other user would like to address these issue, the timeline has been moved to the talk page
