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."

We need an image for Backyard Football's template. Its cover art should do well. It features Steve Young, Jocinda Smith, who is one of the "Backyard Kids", and a Generic Kid. 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:B937:EC7F:C623:E2FF (talk) 00:23, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
When I said, "a Backyard Kid", I was referring to Jocinda Smith to establish that she is part of the group of 30. The Generic Kid refers to the other one, which is believed to be Amir. However, I'm not sure that's really the case because I don't think Amir's head is as round as the one on the picture and I think that his skin is a few tones lighter than the one on the picture and his hair has more of a reddish-brown color compared to the picture. But I could be wrong; maybe it IS Amir. 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:A8:3E32:1F2C:F665 (talk) 19:27, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Two things: firstly, the gameplay section is not too well sourced - the one citation coming from a media release which isn't cited correctly; you may wish to fix that and complement that section's sources with secondary material. Secondly, notability for video game articles usually hinges on multiple reviews - here there is only one. Best practice is three multiple reliable reviews from WP:VG/S-type sources. Check Metacritic or Mobygames as a first step. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 09:03, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Article draft expanded by me and an unregistered IP user (who I think submitted the initial draft); this is my first DYK nomination so any feedback would be much appreciated!

- Mostly. The first paragraph in Gameplay needs a source, otherwise it looks like O.R.
Added ref for first paragraph in Gameplay. ALT0 approved, slight tweak to ALT1, for
ALT1A: ... that in Backyard Football, NFL players such as Steve Young, Jerry Rice and John Elway are depicted as their "junior versions" of themselves? (same source) -Bogger (talk) 14:41, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
