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

On 28 October 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Masters sport. The result of the discussion was no consensus.

Requested move 28 October 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. The discussion has become about redirecting and it seems unnecessary to relist for a third time. (closed by non-admin page mover) Frost 16:33, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Senior sport → Masters sport – Masters is the more common term around the world, for most sports. See the articles on Masters athletics, Masters swimming etc. Also 'senior' can refer to anyone over 18 (ie not a 'junior'). Craobh àrd (talk) 17:07, 28 October 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Delete and redirect to Masters athletics. Article has a grand total of one citation, which refers to "masters sport" and not "senior sport". Dubious usefulness. See WP:CFORK. 162 etc. (talk) 20:35, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Athletics is specifically running/track and field. What about any other sports? ie swimming, cycling, golf, tennis etc. Craobh àrd (talk) 02:09, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's true. I've instead made a paragraph at Sport#Participation; redirect to that. 162 etc. (talk) 16:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment "Senior sport" is ambiguous. It used to refer to adult sport (several of our articles on older topics are named that way or use the term that way in their text), being the opposite of junior. "masters sport" is experiences sportspeople sport; there is also senior citizen sport. ... a disambiguation page should exist if we have articles on those topics -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 04:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Such articles do not currently exist, which is why I recommended retargeting to the main Sport article, per above. 162 etc. (talk) 22:05, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
