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

Notes

[edit ]

If this template lists Valpo and NIU (neither of which are in Chicago, and one of which (Valpo) is in another state), then should we consider adding Notre Dame? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Republicofjosh01 (talk • contribs) 14:32, 4 September 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm going to take out Valpo, since it's already on the "Indiana Sports" template. I think NIU is okay in this template, as it's title is the "Chicago metro area". --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:06, 16 September 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Late response to this I know, but as you stated, this template is the Chicago Metro Area. Which if you go to the article Chicago metropolitan area you would see that Jasper County (IN), Lake County (IN), Newton County (IN), and Porter County (IN) are all a part of the Chicago metro area. This would include sports teams in both Lake and Porter County. Valpo being in Porter and Gary being in Lake. St. Joseph County (IN) where Notre Dame is located, is not in the Chicago Metro Area.

The Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune used to cover Notre Dame, I don't know if they still do. I don't think they cover Valpo...Hoops gza (talk) 22:08, 26 October 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
