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] Linkspam

There is a blog that deals with Sports Agent issues and personalities at "http://www.sportsagentblog.com" [The previous unsigned message was posted by 24.136.47.51 (talk · contribs)/24.136.43.71 (talk · contribs), 21:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC)]

Um, no. Wikipedia is not a web directory; try Yahoo. In particular, links to blogs and webboards that do not provide encyclopedically useful material for Wikipedia readers are not permitted, per our policies and guidelines on advertising, external links and conflict of interest. If you continue to add linkspam, you will be blocked from editing. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 17:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Do not delete the information on this page. Whoever made the revision before the current page deleted important facts. [The previous unsigned message was posted by 24.136.43.71 (talk · contribs)/24.136.47.51 (talk · contribs), 20:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)]

Please sign your posts (add "~~~~" - four tildes - after your post). And stop adding linkspam. Ordering other editors to not do this or not do that will get you not just ignored but ridiculed. Please familiarize yourself with how Wikipedia works, both technically and socially, before making any more major edits or attempting to throw your weight around (hint: you don't have any here). — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 17:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Famous agents

I think the Famous agents list needs cleaning up but, since I'm new, I wanted to run it by others first. I can't find any web references to Barry Thomas while John Print, Darren Heitner, and Marlon Fleischman & Phil Korklin look to be, at best, very minor agents. Shall I just go in and delete? Should this page be protected from linkspam? Tom.green2 09:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

It looks real spammy; "famous" list includes those who never had a page or had one that was deleted, it seems to need a serious housecleaning. -Steve Sanbeg (talk) 23:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
