* 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

Goalkeeper half-court rules

The rules have been changed, and the goalkeeper is now permitted to move past the half-distance line. Please change the article to reflect that. https://collegiatewaterpolo.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/2020-2022PRXWP_MajorRulesChanges.pdf https://resources.fina.org/fina/document/2021/01/12/a13c160d-b94a-4b63-93aa-a06fa370433f/2019_2021_wp_rules_congress_amended_06012020_0.pdf 136.244.131.34 (talk) 19:11, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 2 October 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I want to Remove "Mouthguard: A mouthguard is not mandatory in most tournaments but is recommended." Because, as a waterpolo player I have never seen or heard of mouthguards being recommended because you would not be able to breath easily and you could not tell your team that your opponent is flanking trying to steal the ball etc. Br meast (talk) 16:33, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: While I have not removed this from the article, it does not have a source. So I have instead tagged it with the citation-needed template. In the meantime, if you are able to provide reliable sources directly explaining that water polo players do not wear mouth guards, this would support removing it from the equipment list. If you provide a source, please reactivate this edit request by following the instructions provided in the box on the right. -- Pinchme123 (talk) 01:39, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 February 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Water polo. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

There are seven players in the water including 6 players and 1 goalie on each team. 148.59.198.109 (talk) 16:46, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
