Redirect

This redirect does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

To-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests :
Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)
Requested articles (Motor sports)
Requested articles (Estonian sportspeople)
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
Other :
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red.
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

Untitled

There is no English language listing for "Prellball" - can anyone help out in this respect? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuzzer (talk • contribs) 10:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Divide list

Can we divide the list of ball games into alphabetic groups, say A-K and L-Z? Tabletop (talk) 05:31, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page title check

This page was moved to "ball sport" without consensus. I have moved it back and would be against such a change as it is not a common way of referring these. Please see Common naming conventions. Thank you,

Move page

This page should either be moved to ball games or ball sports - either is more common. I think sports should be used as the articles listed are more sports than games. If there is no objection I will move. Ignorant Armie s —Preceding undated comment added 07:32, 9 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Negative. Read my thread above.

I realized this must be a misunderstanding of cultural differences today. To clear things up, I've updated the page with references that explain the cultural differences and moved the list to List of ball games. The term "ball sports" needs to be left off of either as it is not common...see this comparison in published texts. Wiki should use the most common name in titles.
