* 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.

Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 06:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I verified that both ALT0 and ALT1 are sourced in the article. The image in ALT0 is verified as having been released under CC BY 4.0 and would be a good image for the lead image slot. Cunard (talk) 06:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
