* 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.

* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)

References for the sport of water polo

below is a pdf listing publicized by the LA84foundation. It was translated to French in 2022. Given that the current Olympics (2024) is in France I would encourage adding a second pdf to the Footnote/reference section https://la84.org/wp-content/uploads/LA84WaterPolo_Fr.pdf Merci 2600:8802:5700:5ED:4824:AAAA:900:D116 (talk) 17:04, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change FINA to World Aquatics?

Noticed that FINA is listed as the highest governing body, but when following the link it says FINA has been changed to World Aquatics. Lartan18 (talk) 18:28, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 18 November 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Water polo. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
