Article requests :
Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)

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

- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

Stadia[edit]

According to wikipedia Scotland does not have 3 five star stadiums (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Stadia_List). We have therefore changed this.

netball[edit]

"Netball is played mostly by private school girls." Would they not play it in state schools, if not what would the team sport be, just field hockey? Hakluyt bean (talk) 23:07, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was played in my state school for sure anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.215.249 (talk) 14:49, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

rounders[edit]

Evidently that is played in Scotland, probably only as a private school sport (eg: http://www.strathallan.co.uk/All-Sports.aspx) Hakluyt bean (talk) 23:20, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this list is getting ridiculous, what about hopscotch, tidlywinks?(Monkeymanman (talk) 15:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC))[reply]

baseball[edit]

There ere no US air bases in Scotland in the 1930s. I can find no evidence for US occupation at East Fortune (see "never used" comments in Wikipedia article on RAF East Fortune). Kirknewton was used by US forces in 1950s and 1960s. Section needs supporting references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wundermac (talk • contribs) 21:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
