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."

Oppose While dinghy and yacht racing are both types of sailboat racing, they differ in much the same way kart racing and formula racing differ. They use different vehicles, equipment, techniques, and organizations. Further, both pages seem to have sufficient content to warrant individual entries.
That section needs improving. Clearness on what constitutes what; definitions are not too good. It can be defined by miles from land or by protected or sheltered/semi-protected/non-protected or open waters; some also define that by number of sides of the boat from which you can see land: offshore 0 (no land in sight), coastal 1, inshore 2(3) - problem with that definition is sailing on big (huge) lakes which can have conditions of non-protected waters and miles-from-land of offshore sailing. Also you can have open/non-protected waters very few miles from shore.
Inshore (less than 3 miles from land by some sources)
Coastal (less than 25 miles form land by some sources)
Offshore - also called bluewater sailing
Oceanic (Oceanic racing is defined as any offshore race over 800 miles. by World Sailing)
Maybe connect definitions with brown water environment, green water environment, blue water environment.
level-4 vital article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
