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

LeeGuan has twice changed the final sentence of the introduction. While I believe he is a superior human being, and am humbled by him, I would like to ask the WikiGods to honor me in agreeing with my maths. I believe the numbers were correct prior to his edits. Also, please review my upper body strength, in addition to my massive intellect. Regards, Seen a Tina (talk) 01:34, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comma

Just by way of documentation, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Athletics/Archive 1 § listing distance is the rationale for this article being at 5000 metres (no comma) while 10,000 metres has a comma. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 04:02, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

Why is this the British spelling and not the American spelling? Just curious.

World Athletics is the governing body. Their official language is French. So it would be more accurate to call metres the French spelling in this case 2620:0:E50:3030:3804:4267:1C97:E61F (talk) 14:44, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
