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."

Hi, I am going to add a Refimprove|date=June 2009 tab - whilst I am unsure of what citation standards apply to sportspeople, this person is also of interest for his discovery of the body of a serial killer victim, and it seems to me unusual to the point of improbable (though certainly not impossible) that a ninety-two-year-old man should be out in the fields mushrooming in an area so remote as to be the first to discover a corpse that had laid unnoticed by younger, fitter people for eighteen months. There are plenty of references saying a person named William Thomas discovered the body (e.g. [1]), but little evidence to say it was Bill Thomas the footballer. Of course he may have just been an incredibly spritely 92 year-old man but there are many levels of improbability there, so any credible reference to bolster this statement would allay any doubts. Thanks, SeventhHell (talk) 01:01, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
