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

Partners

In the previous version the list of partners was a paragraph that wasn't very readable because it was all blue and red. I think the list format is too long, however. thoughts?

The museum is closed as of today, February 20, 2009. I have a source indicating that it may be reopened if a buyer is found, but until then I'm moving this into the past tense. SixFourThree (talk) 20:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)SixFourThreeReply

Single purpose accounts editing here

This article has been edited by single purpose accounts philipsshwalb and museumorama. The edits appear to be sanitizing the history of the museum which closed amazingly fast after collecting millions of dollars. Edits by single purpose accounts should be reviewed.Americasroof (talk) 20:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

I just reverted a large amount of text from museomorama which was equal parts inaccurate, promotional puffery and poorly phrased. I'll keep an eye on this as much as I can StarM 05:38, 1 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
