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."

I agree. The Stanford list is the one I used to make the list initially; I'm sure the recent 1940 entry was a good-faith addition, so thanks for documenting your reasoning for future reference. --

Olymic medalist table
The Olympic representation section only covers the 2008 olympics, and the table of medalists takes up a disproportionate amount of space in the article --

Just one little problem. They were actually the "Cardinals" from 1972 through 1981. So, in that context, it's not an error to use the plural. Just don't link to plural. To avoid getting flagged as an error, link intentional use of the plural form as:
And
Louisville Cardinals. The St. Louis variety looks friendly (they can land on my bat anytime), and the Arizona species looks like it's on a serious mission, but that Louisville redbird (er, cardinal-bird) mutation looks downright menacing!
Oh, yea. The team pages for 1972–81 use an infobox parameter that I changed to Stanford Cardinal football{{!}}Stanford Cardinals. A
kludge, but it works.

The problem with that kludge is that it breaks the previous/next year navigation at the bottom of the infobox. I'm not sure what problem you were trying to solve. I think we should revert to the previous versions, which worked OK and showed the correct name for that 72-81 time period. --

(update) I read back and see there was an issue with some kind of spell-check error flag (where does that show up?) Could we could address this instead with a note in the source code rather than a workaround that breaks part of the infobox? --

Stanford Cardinals was marked as a misspelling with
this 23 October 2015 edit by
User:A window cleaner me, who made
over 630 edits which are still live, and over 700 edits which have been deleted (many useless redirect creations) during the last ten days of October, before being blocked as a "sockpuppet". A significant portion of their edits related to the Cardinal(s). So, now I just discover this after making ~100 edits which mostly just bypassed a redirect. There is a legitimate argument for flagging many of these for correction, but I see how this can be taken too far. I think we can fix this by downgrading the problematic {{R from misspelling}} tags to {{R from incorrect name}}. I don't think the spell-checker bot cares about those. I'll work on cleaning this up. Thanks for pointing out the navigation issue. –

If you aren't a native American English speaker then you shouldn't be making edits concerning American English language. The single plural form is wrong. Obviously. If you continue to pursue the matter I suggest you should have your credentials to edit articles suspended.
Rowing and sailing and co-ed sports
I've been viewing a lot of college sports pages lately and the sport of rowing has me a little confused. Some pages list the sport as rowing and others list it as crew. Crew and rowing are the same thing with different names, probably depends on where you're from as to which name you use. The confusing part comes in when some pages like this one list Rowing lightweight. I assume this means there is no men's lightweight rowing at Stanford. But what about the pages for other colleges? If lightweight isn't listed at all, does that mean that college has no lightweight rowing or does it mean they have both but feel no need to list it separately?
Also on this page, sailing is listed as co-ed and under the men's category. Does this mean there is a co-ed team and a men's team? The Stanford Cardinal web page lists sailing and fencing under both men's and women's sports. They don't show a co-ed category.

Thanks for the correction to the sailing category. But in the rowing, did you mean there is both womens's rowing and women's lightweight rowing? Both are listed on the wikipage and the college page you linked too. Your link was to the Rowing Ltw college page, but if you look under women's sports you'll see both. I read the wikipage on college rowing and women's openweight is the only NCAA sanctioned rowing category. Other categories are men's heavyweight and men's and women's lightweight. With some cross referencing of the college rowing wikipage, the individual college sports wikipage and the colleges website I can probably figure most of these out, but it would help if the authors of the individual college sports wikipages would specify by separating the different categories like the Stanford page or by specifying "heavyweight only" or "openweight only" or "both heavyweight and lightweight."

Yes, if you click the link I gave you to the Stanford Athletics website... they clearly list two different sports for lightweight and regular rowing for women. I'm not much of a sports guy to know the difference between the two, nor do I care
. I just copied what was on the page before and what is listed at the athletics website... CorkyBuzz by the Hornet's Nest06:16, 2 December 2017 (UTC)reply
