To-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests :
Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)
Requested articles (Motor sports)
Requested articles (Estonian sportspeople)
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."
Expand : Professional sports (crucial article explaining the salaried undertaking of sports)
* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)
Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs
Update : List of world sports championships
Other :
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red.
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

It is requested that a video clip or video clips be included in this article to improve its quality.

Compare with Gummitwist[edit]

I assume these are both the same games. Please check this and put them perhaps together. Greetings --Nfu-peng 17:48, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative name: Elastics[edit]

This article seems to describe what we, in New Zealand, called Elastics.

Merge?[edit]

This article and Jumpsies seem to be about the same thing. By the way, the game is also played in Romania, and is called "elastic" (hurray for original research :-p) --Urzică (talk) 20:29, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese garter[edit]

The name I've heard for this is "Chinese garter". Never heard of "Chinese jump rope". Gronky (talk) 00:13, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's called "Chinese Jump Rope" in California where I grew up, so I'm sure it is in other places as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.13.5.124 (talk) 05:46, 17 April 2015

History, origin?[edit]

Came here to learn where this game originated, and was disappointed. Encyclopedic knowledge includes origin stories. Xaxafrad (talk) 21:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, never mind my previous comment above. I finally came back and read the lead more thoroughly. I must've skipped over the history paragraph because it's indented and looks like a block of quoted text. Xaxafrad (talk) 00:42, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
