Sports To-do: edit  Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: Average (sports) (crucial article explaining the concept, nomenclature, math; redir to it from Average (sport); use Batting average as starting point for ideas) 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.) Other: 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. Split: Cross-training into Cross-training and Cross-training (business); Hockey puck into Puck (sports) (w/ Puck (sport) redir) and Hockey puck (and update Puck DAB page); Swimming into Swimming (general activity) and Swimming (sport) (eventually create subarticles for varieties) Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project Photographs for pages listed in Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Society#Sport and referenced categories.

Obviously, years in sports mainly need information about numerous sports. --P64

[edit] Baseball

"The league consisted of several teams who broke away from the National Association of Base Ball Players, which had created a professional subcategory in 1869." Beside rephrasing all, I deleted that part, maybe after breaking the link.

I need to visit some of the pro sports league orgs (various "National Association" pages including redirects).

There seems to be no naming convention and few pages for the NABBP clubs. --P64 16:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
