Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports

First, an important note for everyone to remember:

A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about Sports. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

Structure There shall be an alphabetical list of all sports. There shall also be an organization of sports by categories. There shall be a listing of sport competitions, that involve multiple sports (e.g. the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, the Maccabiah Games, the Good Will Games, etc.) -- competitions for particular sports, or groups of sports, would be better located on the page for that sport. The lists of competitions should be organized along the lines of what area of the world they involve -- i.e. are they global (e.g. the Olympics), restricted to a particular region of the world (Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, etc.), or restricted to a particular country (in which case, they could be placed under under a section on the sport in that particular country.) These lists shall be either on the main Sports page, or if they become too long on separate pages linked to by the main page.

Suggested Topics:

  • information on sport in general (what is a sport?, why do people play sports?, what are the benefits of sport?)
  • information on particular sports (Wikiproject Sports Listing)
  • information on sporting competitions, clubs, events (incl. the Olympic Games)
  • famous Sportspeople
  • sports ethics, drugs in sport, cheating
  • related areas: sports law, sports medicine
  • sporting history

Hierarchy Definition No classification of Sports has been defined. See this example on dividing a topic into a hierarchy.
