Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sports

Other random comments: Judging by the amount of sports fans out there in the world, (which I must say I am not one of them), it musn't be too hard to find people willing to write near endless quantities of material on sports. -- Simon J Kissane

you might think so, but not many of them have found their way to wikipedia yet, particularly for the more obscure sports. I've written a whole bunch of initial articles on various less common sports, but nobody else has picked up much slack yet --Robert Merkel

Wimbledon champions

Today I merged information from List of Wimbledon Mixed Doubles champions into List of Wimbledon Doubles champions, creating this new version of List of Wimbledon Doubles champions. What do you think? Should I replace the current article? - dcljr (talk) 17:23, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I disagree. They are separate championships. And I would like to see runners-up and scores on those lists as well. —Cantus…☎ 20:27, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Okay, but apart from objecting to the conflating of the different types of championships, there's nothing about the way I did it that prevents more info from being added. For example, the table could start out something like this:

Year	Gentlemen's pair	Ladies' pair	Mixed pair
2004	Todd Woodbridge (AUS) and Jonas Björkman (SWE) d. Julian Knowle (AUT) and Nenad Zimonjic (SCG) 6-1, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4	Cara Black (ZIM) and Rennae Stubbs (AUS) d. Liezel Huber (RSA) and Ai Sugiyama (JPN) 6-3, 7-6	Wayne Black and Cara Black (ZIM) d. Alicia Molik and Todd Woodbridge (AUS) 3-6, 7-6, 6-4

Improvement drive

The article National Football League has been listed to be improved on Wikipedia: This week's improvement drive. Add your vote there if you want to support the article.--Fenice 20:54, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Commonwealth Games

Many (maybe all) of the Commonwealth Games sites have been set up assuming there will be separate pages for (for example) Australia at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, Cayman Islands at the 1994 Commonwealth Games. It seems to me more sense to have just one for each country as seems to have been done to the Olympics.

wintersports

is there going to be a wikiproject for wintersports. Is i gong to go ahead because i can see it's been there since dec 2004 so is it just in a stand still or is some thing going to happen with it. I would like to see the project arise myself. On many of the snowsports pages i see redlinks which could be handled better if in a project, If not i would be happy to start up one with a template off another as i am not so experienced in wikipedia. Please speak to me can anyone help out. Edwardkindred

Request for Quick Sports Fix

Sometimes, if I'm of a mood to kill time and yet do some good, I'll hit 'random article' and see if the link that comes up needs any copyediting.

Ed Vosberg's article sez:

Ed was the first player to appear in the Little League World Series Tucson, Arizona 1973 runner-up, NCAA Div I Champion University of Arizona 1980, and Major League Baseball World Series Champion Florida Marlins 1997

Okay, let's make it clear: I suck at sports. And sports knowledge. shrug (sorry)

Well, first, I'm not sure if "Little League World Series Tucson, Arizona 1973 runner-up" was a single sports event. Is this saying that he was the first individual to appear in all three teams? THat really doesn't appear to be that odd; it's like me saying I'm the first person to go to Joe Schmo Elementary School, Jane Schmo Junior High School, Frank Schmo High School, and Schmoville College. Well, yeah, few people usually pick all of the same organizations to belong to.

So, I suppose if any of you know Ed Vosberg, can you clarify what this sentence is really saying, and either answer me here or make the edit in the article itself?

If I've been unclear as to what I'm asking, let me know. — WCityMike (talk • contribs • where to reply) 19:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
