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.

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.

High	This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

Shouldn't Sale Sharks have a mention on this page? Or is it because they are currently based in Stockport? It's certainly the main Rugby Union team for Manchester. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.202.81 (talk) 11:06, 5 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Possible WP:COI

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Please note that a significant number of edits seem to be done here by the clubs themselves. These edits must conform to a neutral point of view. Specifically, I am concerned about uncited edits to the section "Rugby League" by User:ManchesterRangersRL. I have added a COI notice to this section and notified the editor of WP:COI, which has a significant amount of information to consider when editing on articles about oneself. I invite other editors to research the material in question and bring it closer to Wikipedia's goals of neutrality, notability, and verifiability. Mamyles (talk) 18:37, 30 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120717022255/http://www.manchestervelodrome.com/static_info/about_us.htm to http://www.manchestervelodrome.com/static_info/about_us.htm
