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

Significant edits

I made some significant edits, sorry if I stepped on any toes, I know I deleted a lot. Some reminders:

Don't add information without sources
- If you use multiple pages from a source, indicate which page number you used. See how the article Cleopatra does it for reference.
"Taekwondo" shouldn't always be capitalized, see WP:WPMA Proper names of individual schools of martial arts should be capitalized e.g., "Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage-ryū" or "Shotokan". Broad types of martial arts should not be capitalized e.g., "kenjutsu", or "karate" (see above for definition of 'art' vs 'school').
Romanized terms that haven't yet become accepted words in English (e.g. hogu) should be italicized (preferrably wrapped in the Transliteration template), as per MOS:FOREIGNITALIC. "Taekwondo" is considered an acceptable english term because it's in dictionaries (apparently)
Non-english text (e.g. 호구) should be wrapped in appropriate language template (here, usually Template:Korean)
Try to only link when you think it'll be useful to the reader (generally once or twice per article). Don't link every noun or subject, we end up overhighlighting.

Much of what I deleted was either unsourced or out of scope with the article. Please feel free to discuss if you disagree with choices I made and feel free to add stuff back yourself. Thanks. toobigtokale (talk) 00:37, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

Can we find an alternative infobox image? It's a great image but tragically has that blurry thing in the lower left corner. I think a good candidate would have a simple background, so it's immediately clear what the subject is.

After scrolling through several hundred pics, all I can find is this. It's decent but I don't like the blue background for some reason. [1] toobigtokale (talk) 02:01, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Something like these: [2] [3]. These are copyrighted though, and there's small things about both that aren't ideal. toobigtokale (talk) 02:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A while back I put in a new image, but it's too thin horizontally I think. Doesn't have a feeling of weightiness, should be squarer 211.43.120.242 (talk) 07:25, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
