To-do list:

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

Why is this template:sportbio-stub and category:sportspeople stubs, rather than template:athlete-stub and category:athlete stub (or at least sports-bio-stub or sport-bio-stub to match the other stubs—all except for mathbio-stub)? BlankVerse 08:12, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Good question, but there isn't much consistency among stub names, sadly (cricket stub? Buddhistub?). Of a little more immediate concern, though, I've changed "sportsman" to "sportsperson", since several of the stubs were sportswomen. Grutness|^hello? 10:12, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Further change to the wording - I've come across several stubs relating to famous racehorses, which would probably be best suited to this stub, so I've altered the wording to allow for that. BTW, in a bit more of an answer to your original question, "athlete" means something different in many countries anyway (in the UK, Australia and NZ, among others, it means what Americans would call a "track and field athlete").

Update: Sportbio-stub still links to sportspeople stubs, athlete-stub is a redirect now of athleticsbio-stub, for track and field athletes, coaches, and others connected with athletics. Grutness...wha? 08:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
