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.

[edit] Third Paragraph

The Goshen Boy Scouts are completely non-notable, obviously a vanity piece by some group who thinks they're self important. It should obviously be removed.68.41.56.173 07:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Doesn't this need to be merged with the Free Running article/stub? They seem to be the same thing... -Unknown

As far as I can tell, the difference is that freestyle walking isn't as explosive (walking versus running), and can involve mechanical implements like soap shoes, whereas free running doesn't. Plus

[edit] this sport is the best

seriously, more needs to be added to this page specificly emphisizing on the awesometude of the art form. -Unknown

[edit] NPOV

This article smacks of POV. It definitely needs some work by someone more qualified than me. 71.9.58.46 00:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Expansion would be good. Tyciol 11:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Engine poses

"Engine" Poses? from the name of the 'poses', they're supposed to be Indian, or Injun. The last is akin to calling something Nigger poses. I'm not going to change it because I don't know the true nature of what is being talked about, but this article needs work. 74.130.91.191 23:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization of second word?

I'm going to redirect the terms extreme walking and trail rushing here, both with second words capitalized and uncapitalized. Since this article exists with the 'w' for walking lowercase, any arguments against making the article match, or did someone want a move to 'W'? I think lowercase makes more sense. Perhaps a mention could be made that whoever originated the term prefers to capitalize it. Even if they did, we shouldn't keep it that way. If whoever came up with the term 'break dancing' called it 'Break Dancing' I still wouldn't use it. Tyciol 11:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
