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

This page has many inaccuracies and does not agree with Wiki's "List of college sports team nicknames" page. There is no correlation between the two lists. Please check "USA Colleges and Universities Team Names" at www.lingerandlook.com/Names/Colleges.php which has been checked and validated as recently as Feb. 2017. An example of the inaccuracy is looking at the list of teams with the nickname of Tigers: 39 given in Wiki's 'List of college sports team nicknames" (i.e. US colleges); 46 cited in Wiki's "List of college team nicknames in the United States"; and 56 listed in "USA Colleges and Universities Team Names" (this being my external site which used Wiki's conference pages to cull school names, verified at each institution's Wiki page, and other sources.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwegryn (talk • contribs) 19:20, 30 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
