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 following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page.

No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: this article has been linked to before on itn, but is not disqualified by rule 1d since the link was not bolded, as seen here.also, sources seem to vary regarding whether to explicitly qualify the "third-fastest" claim (as the qualification is often understood), but since i know that such statements are subject to heightened scrutiny at dyk, i decided to qualify it in the hook.note that i mentioned the year in the caption to make it clear that this photo was not taken during the marathon.by the way, i recognize that a few of the sources have yet to be formatted to dyk standards, but i wanted to nominate this before the deadline passed first. i have never gotten citation bot to work, and generally rely on friendly wikignomes to eventually help me out. if you would like to review this, please place it on hold after reviewing. i can address all other issues in the meantime, and eventually ping you once the sources are formatted to dyk standards.
Overall: @Dying: Article seems good. Just a tip, when you make an article you don't need to put citations in the intro unless the topic in the intro is controversial. Considering how any topics in the intro will get explained in the article later you don't need to put citations in the intro. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
