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 first sentence of the article seems pretty definitive that a triathlon is composed of swimming, biking, and running; however, for the past 31 years, the Little Miami Triathlon has been a canoe (or recently kayak)/run/bike event. While the majority of triathlons are swim/bike/run, wouldn't a combination of any three individual endurance sports qualify as a triathlon? If so, would anyone seriously object if that first sentence of the article were editted to read "A triathlon is a multi-sport endurance event often consisting of swimming, cycling, and running ..."

There is a section devoted to "Non Standard Variations". It could go in there.--JOJHutton 18:13, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In light of McVey's comments, the intro was reworded back in January 2011 [1]. BarkeepChat/$ 18:34, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
