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."

... that some families feel pressure to reclassify their child to compete with their peers who have repeated a grade? Source: "It has become so common, some say, that many families feel pressure to reclass their children as a means of keeping up with their peers." Washington Post
Overall: This looks good to me, and I made a couple minor copyedits for typos and such. I remember hearing about problems of athletic eligibility due to transfers and reclassification in high school, so this was an interesting read. Kafoxe (talk) 18:32, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@NotReallySoroka: I see that you added the {{overly detailed}} tag. May I suggest that we change to use {{Missing information}} instead, to add potential non-athletic coverage? The "overly detailed" tag advises spinning off or relocating any relevant information. However, being that this article is new and only 8000 bytes long, there really is nothing left if it gets relocated. I suspect the term reclassify has only been used for athletics, but will have a better idea of how to proceed once we have sources for voluntary grade repeating for academic/non-athletic reasons.

I've changed the tag.[1] Let me know if there are any concerns.—Bagumba (talk) 04:39, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This whole article focuses on sports, when its extremely common for kids (mostly adhd) to get held back even if they are above grade level in academics against their will, it happened to many i know, they tried to do it to me even though i was already advanced and everything. this is important, its v common Atinyteez (talk) 18:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
