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

See ye, Jumbo![edit]

I just heard on the news today that Scotland have won again (wtf!), but also that some people have complained ^{Superscript text}that training the elephants involves cruelty. Totnesmartin 18:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The WEPA and the Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge claim the latter is untrue. 74.69.245.119 20:29, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Competitors?[edit]

Which countries compete? Elefuntboy 05:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Teams from many countries all over the world have been known to compete, there has been at least one team from the United States (called the Screwy Tuskers if I recall correctly), the UK, the countries mentioned in the article, and others. There may be a list on the WEPA website. 74.69.245.119 20:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article currently states only this: It is played in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Rajasthan (India), and Thailand. 82.141.119.222 (talk) 07:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Elephant polo. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
