* 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.

Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs
Update : List of world sports championships

i saw on the news (ITV evening news, 22nd aug) that 46 out of 67 of Team GB's medals came from athletes funded by SportsAid. Definitely worthy of putting in the article as and when a reliable source comes up - it was on their fb page but would like something better. Rayman60 (talk) 20:41, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I went through and removed overt "peacock" language such as "brightest or referring to their charity fundraiser as prestigious. I also mention the age range they help, sourced form their website. I'm pretty sure the fundraiser would count as prestigious, but that seems like something someone should be quoted as describing it as.Hamster Drink (talk) 07:00, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
