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.

Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs

- RfCs: answer requests for comment

Split proposal: swimming pool cover

I am proposing that the section with the swimming pool covers should be split into its own article. It seems to have enough information on the section. It has the very long section template that has been in place since March 2021. Cwater1 (talk) 15:50, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That would probably be good. While you're at it, please try to also reduce the massive US-centrism of that section. HiLo48 (talk) 01:18, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HiLo48 Oh, I think I get it. It doesn't have a worldwide view of the subject, just United States. I found more understanding about it at Americentrism. It is the same thing. I think I can go for the splitting. Maybe I'll do so after discussing is done. Going by WP:Splitting. Cwater1 (talk) 03:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I was looking at Wikipedia:Closing discussions and Wikipedia:Consensus for more details about when a discussion can be closed. I'm still learning about Wikipedia. Cwater1 (talk) 03:31, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problems here re the split. Graham87 03:47, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87 @HiLo48 I made the separate article. I simply copied the text over to the new article. Articles can still always be improved. Cwater1 (talk) 17:03, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The intro needs many more citations right?

The first 3 paragraphs of this article are presented with 0 citations, and the first citation in the 1st section after the intro does not explain the above information. Doesnt this article need more citations? Polkol777 (talk) 20:21, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lead sections summarize the rest of the article and don't require citations, see MOS:LEADCITE. MrOllie (talk) 20:34, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Polkol777 (talk) 20:35, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
