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."

The lead of the Wikipedia article develops a number of minor changes over time, ending with the removal of "(soccer)", which matches the external site.
Not done: The lead already says The World Cup is the most prestigious association football competition in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world.DrOrinScrivello (talk) 16:18, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In a general article like this one, information should be added either if it is a defining characteristic of the subject or if it is statistically significant in some way. While this is neither: every tournament has to have a total and an average attendance and one or more most attended games. Also the size and detail of that table is quite disproportionate to the overall scope of the article. --Theurgist (talk) 03:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
According to one Swedish article not only Koreans received medals for 4th place in 2002, but also other teams in previous years. Swedes found out in 2020 (!) that in 1994 4th Bulgaria also received bronze medal, but not on a pitch but on the stands. FIFA spokesman from Sweden Hans Hultman confirmed that not only in 1994, but also in 1986 and 1990 4th teams received bronze, but previously (since when?) there were: 1. gold, 2. great silver, 3. small silver, 4. bronze (identical has Swedish league). [1] Could anyone find another independent confirmaton of results from 1990 and earlier? Kamilhrub (talk) 10:15, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
