Sports To-do: edit  Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: Average (sports) (crucial article explaining the concept, nomenclature, math; redir to it from Average (sport); use Batting average as starting point for ideas) 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.) Other: 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. Split: Cross-training into Cross-training and Cross-training (business); Hockey puck into Puck (sports) (w/ Puck (sport) redir) and Hockey puck (and update Puck DAB page); Swimming into Swimming (general activity) and Swimming (sport) (eventually create subarticles for varieties) Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project Photographs for pages listed in Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Society#Sport and referenced categories.

Do we really need the reference to Quidditch? Who is likely to confuse the two? I'll delete this after a few days if nobody objects. PeteVerdon 13:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, more than a few days (I've been busy) but since nobody felt the need to defend it I've removed the Quidditch link. PeteVerdon 08:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

I added some images, it looks much better now! Fosnez 15:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Famous teams/external links/other cleanup

Over the coming days I will be removing the 'Famous Teams' section of the article. I will set up another article called 'List of broomball teams' where they can be decorated in all their glory. Additionally I will be removing most of the external links unless they have been used for referencing throughout the article.

Also in the current version, I will be removing the information on USA Broomball - as useful as it is, it deserves its own article. Over the coming week I plan to write an article for broomball in each of the main broomballing countries (USA, Canada, Australia, Italy, Japan, Germany, etc.) where this information would be better suited - and it will be linked from this main broomball article.

If anyone has any problems with this please let me know. Cory 07:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
