* 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

References for the sport of water polo

below is a pdf listing publicized by the LA84foundation. It was translated to French in 2022. Given that the current Olympics (2024) is in France I would encourage adding a second pdf to the Footnote/reference section https://la84.org/wp-content/uploads/LA84WaterPolo_Fr.pdf Merci 2600:8802:5700:5ED:4824:AAAA:900:D116 (talk) 17:04, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
