[edit] Sports Family Categories

I am not sure where to post a question for this group. I have been looking at categories more closely recently. Today, I decided that there are a lot articles that would be more easily navigated if we developed a Sports family hierarchy (in Category:Families). I have started to fill in what I could not find out there in the section that follows: User:TonyTheTiger#User Creations in the Categories section. Can you tell me if anyone here would be interested in getting involved in Sports family categorization or if there is a good way to proceed in such an endeavor. Please reply to my talk page if you have any advice.TonyTheTiger 20:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First take on what to do with the topical subsections here

I added some stuff to the "Cue sports (pool, billiards and snooker)" sub-section. Not sure if this is really what they are for, since it's not documented in any way. Also added myself to the totally empty "Members" section. By the way, I think that the "Directions for expanding any division below" section should be edited or removed, as it clearly was just imported from a level higher and doesn't seem to apply properly to this page. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 01:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stephanie DeFina

Would anyone who knows tennis fairly well take a look at the this article. Is she notable? (If so, a good source for a biography would be great!). There is also Roberta Alison in the same category. Thanks! --Stormbay 20:54, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested Football player notability guidelines

[edit] Daniels Holderby Cortése

This has your project's banner on the talk page, but I'm wondering if this was an error. The article is about a classical musician. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 06:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jimmy Moore

I was dabbing all link to this article, and noticed that it needs updating to GA at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Biography (sports and games) articles by quality/1 , but it was to unclear to me how to do so: What do the dates correspond to and which permanent version should be linked to, thus, this post.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 19:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

I have just proposed the following "Did You Know" at [1]:

=== Articles created/expanded on April 30 ===

I am hoping that the fact that it includes references to two separate articles may be given some weight. Lindsay658 (talk) 23:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help on finding infobox

I was working on the Gerry Bertier article and cannot determine what infobox should be used on this article. He was an athlete, but none of the infoboxes covers his situation and the Infobox person seesm too general. He was a high school football All-American who could not play college or pro ball due to a paralyzing car accident. He then participated in wheelchair athletics, including the Wheelchair Games. He was the pivotal character portrayed in Remember the Titans. Please help me determine what infobox would be appropriate. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism of the Donovan Bailey wiki page

Someone vandalized the Donovan Bailey wiki page and wrote that Bailey moved to Canada at age 56. I corrected it, but if this keeps happening please take the necessary measures to prevent it. Thanks in advance. --190.10.76.226 (talk) 17:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] priority= parameter

Are there any guidelines on how to complete the priority= parameter for biographies? The WikiProject on Football for example, has an importance scale with a few examples. Is there something similar for the Sports and Games work group as a whole? If not, would using the relevant project's importance ratings for the workgroup priority be a reasonable rule of thumb to use? Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 21:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
