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

Not done for now: I don't see any evidence to establish the Eerie Roller Girls' notability under our notability guidelines. Please provide independent, reliable sources giving in-depth coverage that indicate notability. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 20:15, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In EXTERNAL LINKS section, change ROLLER DERBY WORLDWIDE link to direct to "https://www.frogmouthclothing.com/blogs/frogmouth-blog/67525699-the-world-map-of-roller-derby-leagues" or eliminate link completely because the current link ("www.derbyroster.com") is incorrect and directs to a website not related to roller derby. Paigeatslife (talk) 12:25, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Just removed, since the other one you gave seemed to be more for selling posters. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:20, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I am a board member of a canadian Roller derby league and I would like my league to be added on this list. As a reference, here are our league-run website and facebook page.

We were also featured in the Ottawa Citizen.

The edit would go like this :

Under the Women's league >Canada> Ontario section, in alphabetical order of cities, please add this text.

Ottawa - Ottawa Roller Derby 2006-present

Thank you for your time! 135.23.201.71 (talk) 15:41, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: We do not list every roller derby league in existance on this article, merely the notable ones (as a low bar threshold, a wikipedia article on the league should exist). NiciVampireHeart 09:06, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dayton - Gem City Rollerderby

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Hi, could someone update Dayton's teammate on this page to be Gem City Rollerderby, it's no longer Rollergirls and this is reflected on their individual Wiki. Thanks Zotrus666x (talk) 19:16, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. That was a simple change, thank you for bringing it here. I had updated the Gem City article in 2016 and completely spaced on updating the entry here. Echoedmyron (talk) 19:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please add under 1.16 United Kingdom > 1.16.1 England > Cambridge - Cambridge Rollerbillies, as this league exists, and has done for 11 years. Their website is ^[1] Akonken (talk) 21:27, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The list criteria for this list article are for notable roller derby leagues. That is, leagues that already have their own article. The Rollerbillies do not fit that criteria. They are listed on Roller derby in the United Kingdom, which does not have the same criteria. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:09, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
