- 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.

Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs

- RfCs: answer requests for comment

Requested move at Talk:Walter Bradshaw#Requested move 30 July 2026

Cricket Archive

Has anyone noticed that Cricket Archive is hiding almost instantaneously behind its paywall now rather than giving you a second and a half to press the Escape button? Ouch - I hope they reverse this at some point or other - sometimes the information on Cricinfo can be hard to decipher.

I notice that the links placed on archive.org still give you that small amount of leeway - these will not necessarily be up to date but will work well for older and retired players. Bobo . 21:15, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
