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

Some of the team championships listed (football and handball for instance) are the men's team championships. The women's team championships are missing.Lejman (talk) 18:51, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the template

Rather than making a bold edit that is going to cause edit warring, may I point out a few things as I feel there is issues with this template and would like to make it similar to Template:Main world championships which only lists current championships.

Many of these that is listed under "non-Olympic sports" was at one time a Olympic sport considering cricket and rugby union have been a olympic sport in the past, most recently baseball and softball (now no longer a Olympic sport), therefore do we keep them in the Olympic sports section or is it better to start a section titled "former Olympic sports".
Is it worth including competitions that no longer exists as history have been littered with competitions that come and gone.
As with the bit that states "Olympic sports of which there are no European Championships", is that necessary? May I recommend removing that section as if there is no European championship, then it not necessary to be listed there.
