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

Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

To-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

One-win teams

Do they really belong in this list? By the title of the article, strictly speaking, they do not. Technically, teams that recorded a tie aren't "perfect" losing seasons either. One-win seasons are really bad, but they aren't "perfect" losing seasons. It would be akin to having a list of (true) perfect seasons and including one-loss teams. Maybe the article can be split to preserve the info, while at the same time keeping this article accurate... Any other thoughts? Strikehold (talk) 00:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - those need to be removed. St Anselm (talk) 09:34, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Near-misses

I can understand why one-win teams should be removed, but should near-misses (which are more common than actual winless seasons) not be at least discussed briefly.

Teams on track for a winless season say halfway through an Australian football or gridiron season attract attention from the public and press whether they ultimately win or not (as I can testify with Fremantle in 2001). Then, say Melbourne in 1981 or Swan Districts in 1968 who won one game earlier in the season after the siren are notable in this context because they were so lucky to escape the ignominy of not winning and may in reality have been as bad as a team that never won. luokehao (Contributions) 06:43, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
