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

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Wellie wanging was copied or moved into Shoe tossing with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

On 3 March 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Wellie wanging to Welly wanging. The result of the discussion was moved.

An important orthographic issue needs to be addressed

I notice that the title of the article is "Wellie wanging", but the body of the article uses the spelling "welly" rather than "wellie" -- in relating to the wanging activity described therein.

We need to get to the bottom of this. Multitudes of wangers world wide will want to weseeve (oops, I mean receive) some clarification. Unfortunately, having never engaged in any wanging activity myself (either in public or in the privacy of my own home), I do not feel confident enough to suggest which spelling is correct, or even to suggest whether both spellings are acceptable.

Note: I have only just become aware of this activity based on a news report this morning that Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, were enaged in a wanging activity of the the wellie (or welly) variety in Australia this week. According to the news report, on the occasion in question, the Duchess was a more successful wanger than her husband. Famspear (talk) 15:05, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, wait. One report says that the aforementioned wanging (of the welly/wellie, of course) by the Duke and Duchess occurred in New Zealand, not in Australia. (Sigh.....) It is obvious that I am not wise in the worldly ways of wanging. Famspear (talk) 15:10, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The spelling "wellie wanging" is not found in the article.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 05:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wellie wanging → Welly wanging – The article itself uses the -y spelling, and so do other sources. ospalh (talk) 20:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
