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.

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

Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Featured material

This needs a big update! I've added and removed some, but if anyone else has a spare moment to update this page, would be much appreicated :) AA (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We could use the list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Recognized content as reference; it's updated weekly by a bot. I'll be busy this week, but, I could work on the page after that. Vestrian24Bio 10:18, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sharing this, I had no idea it existed! AA (talk) 18:20, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Missing photos of cricket grounds in the UK and Ireland

Summer (possibly) is upon us in the UK and Ireland! There are still dozens of major cricket venues that do not have photos. If anyone can knock these off, that would be greatly appreciated!
