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."
How can this article qualify as more than in the "start class" ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigGussy (talk • contribs) 08:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@BigGussy:, the article requires further work. Looking at Black Caviar (which is also a Start class article), which has better formatting and an informative table/list but it (the Black Caviar) does lacks a detailed lead, the bulk of the content in the article makes up for what it lacks. In this article, there are sources that need to be fixed (publisher uses the web url rather than the title of the publisher [e.g. Tab not www.tab.com.au]) and location of the inline citations (sources) needs to be fix, since some are in random locations and some are before the full stop (see MOS:CITEPUNCT).
In the lead section, remove "The responsibility of the horse relies largely on the trainer[3]", this is a given for any race horse. Expand on "This saw him subsequently retire" expand on it some more, what was the catalyst for it (ie: the event) and in what month/year? When it comes to price money, use the currency that it is sources from (e.g. if it was NZ it would be NZ$1,400,000 or Australia it would be AU$1,400,000). Something we didn't raise in the seminars but knowing what to include for cover MOS is hard since it is so broad and not enough time to go over all of it, check out MOS:CURRENCY.
Also replace 2nd, 3rd with second, third ect. Only use 2nd in lists (see the Black Caviar and Phar Lap articles as an example). Bidgee (talk) 15:57, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bidgee: Many thanks for these tips. I will update the article with your advice.
