Talk:2015 in sports

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of sport-related topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SportsWikipedia:WikiProject SportsTemplate:WikiProject Sportssports articles

To-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests :
Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)
Requested articles (Motor sports)
Requested articles (Estonian sportspeople)
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
Update : List of world sports championships
Other :
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red.
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

"Fight of the Century" inclusion

Why isn't Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao, let alone boxing in general, included in this list? --WikiWinters (talk) 19:56, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

References and some Flagicons are not showing up in main topic

Latest comment: 9 years ago5 comments4 people in discussion

For some reasons, the reflist isn't showing... the template is there and seems correctly formatted to me, but the content is not displaying to the reader. Witty lama 11:04, 15 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Now, some Flagicons are starting to become "blank." Rockies77 (talk) 20:25, 17 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
A Wikipedia administrator typed me a message saying that this topic has too many templates and references. I would need help in slimming down all the unnecessary templates and references that is now overdone. Rockies77 (talk) 07:44, 19 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
- We don't need to show flag icons for the country or state of the venue. Flag icons should only be for teams and competitors. Kaldari (talk) 18:40, 28 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
  - And should never be used in running text. (Well hardly ever.) All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:50, 21 July 2015 (UTC).Reply

Use of summary style

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This is by far the largest article in Wikipedia and is currently pushing the software to its limits (see above). Is there any reason this article isn't using summary style, per the guidelines? Kaldari (talk) 18:43, 28 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

What's with all the flag icons?

Latest comment: 8 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This list makes extensive use of US state flags/Canadian provincial flags for teams and athletes. This violates MOS:FLAGICON: "Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country or nationality" - which is not the case in domestic leagues or competitions. See also MOS:FLAGRELEVANCE: "Subnational flags (...) should generally be used only when directly relevant to the article." Please remove, or switch to regular US/Canadian flags. 162 etc. (talk) 18:05, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
