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."

@Wracking, I wanted to briefly discuss your edit where you removed the "In popular culture" section. I feel that there ought to be some place on Wikipedia where we can collate the most notable Indian sports movies, since they are a significant part of the sports culture of the country. If not in this article, where could that content be placed? GreekApple123 (talk) 22:18, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi! As it existed, I personally think that section was a collection of indiscriminate and unsourced information, and as a list, does not convey very much information. (See MOS:TRIVIA.) As for your question, content like that may fit somewhere like Cinema of India, and there is also List of sports films. If the films are especially culturally relevant, they could instead be mentioned in this article in the section of the sport which they cover (but, as I mention below, sources are needed to establish this cultural relevance).
The majority of the list was unsourced, meaning the importance of these particular films (as opposed to all other Indian sports films) is unexplained and unsubstantiated. (For example, there are many films about cricket in India, but not all are the notable enough to mention here, in such a broad-scope article.)
