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."

Possibly (talk·contribs) removed citations to Business Wire (but leaving the unverified prose), and removed comments about the sorting and exhaustion of sources, saying only—and repeatedly—"no buinesswire". WP:PRIMARY says that primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia [… for] straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. The Business Wire source was citing only 8.62% of the article, all of which were straightforward facts of Washburn's (a) first year in the US Army, (b) last year in the US Army, and (c) employers since leaving the Army. This usage is in compliance with WP:PRIMARY.
If you are really dead set on using a press release as a source, as opposed to an independent source, go for it.--- Possibly (talk) 17:24, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads-up: with the application of the Fox Business source above, we're down to 6.12% (two citations' worth) of the article hanging on the primary source. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 00:57, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
