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

Additional college teams

Awesome template Tom. What about the rest of the colleges in Michigan? There are a number of colleges that are Division I in hockey, such as Ferris State University, Lake Superior State University, Michigan Tech University, etc. Since the font is smaller, maybe they get added?

Also, is the template just for sports TEAMS in Michigan? Or do you mean for it to include SPORTS in Michigan? I think it would be useful to add stuff like Mr. Basketball of Michigan, MHSAA, or other Michigan-only sports-related "events", not necessarily just high school like the ones I thought of.

This template displays oddly

Is this template bleeding into the lower template on other people's computers? If you look at UDM's article, and place the template anywhere but the bottom, it bleed rights into the next template. Why is this? --Mikerussell 18:41, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From what I could tell, the template was missing the closing "|}". I added it and that should probably stop the "bleeding" (pun intended). X96lee15 00:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
