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."

Googling for 'winningest' retrieves many hits referring to coaches, teams and baseball pitchers. Some american dictionaries already list it as 'informal'. See the following usenet thread.
Perhaps we want to be conservative and leave it out, but its used frequently enough that it will enter the dictionaries sooner or later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.63.144.242 (talk) 18:19, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-12-15T18:19:00.000Z","author":"66.63.144.242","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-66.63.144.242-2005-12-15T18:19:[email protected]:41:00.000Z","replies":["c-206.156.242.39-2005-12-15T21:44:00.000Z-66.63.144.242-2005-12-15T18:19:00.000Z"]}}-->
Don't rely on the OED as the final word in what is or is not a proper word in English, OED recently added "bootylicious" as an official word to the lexicon.

There is no need to get into a long discussion as to whether the utterance "winningest" is, is not, or is about to become a word. Articles in the Wikipedia should be written in a reasonably formal tone and by no means could "winningest" be considered formal English.

I interviewed Dr. Naismith's only surviving child at that time -1982 - and she too stated that her father never had a middle initial "A".

The sentence "Even Naismith felt that it was appropriate to modify the rules somewhat to account for the delicate nature of women." was changed on account of being POV, and rightly so. However, "Naismith felt that it was appropriate to modify the rules somewhat to account for his perception of women." is a garden path sentence -- it ascribes to Naismith an awareness of his own perception of women, which is not really the point. I took the sentence out altogether -- I think that either the grounds on which one would modify a sport's rules for women are obvious from the historical context, or they should be described in more detail -- bearing in mind that the article is about James Naismith and if opinions are ascribed to him, they should be sourced.

Rather than the usual "tick-a-box" approach, I thought I'd do something a tad more informal for the review. First off, this was an excellent article to read - I enjoyed it, learned a lot, and had no difficulties with the prose. This was particularly enjoyable, as many articles have a more stilted style that is harder to read. I was a tad concerned about four issues, though:
While not essential for a GA, I'd have liked to have seen citation templates used. There are two reasons for this. On is that they tend to format the citations in a Harvard style, which may not be the only standard, but is one of the better ones. The second is that they help to make sure that all available information is provided. For example, the first reference, "James Naismith Biography", is part of the Encyclopedia of World Biography, but this isn't mentioned in the citation (and there are similar problems with a couple of the others).
Some of the references are not exactly ideal, although it is clear that it is very well referenced overall. For an article like this I would have looked to offline sources as well, and there are both books and academic papers which could have been excellent sources.
The "13 original rules" seem a tad out of place. If I was writing this as a paper, I might have added them as an appendix, but in Wikipedia this isn't possible. Thus they appear as part of the main article, even though there are peripheral to the topic. While I wouldn't say that they have to be removed, I'd suggest considering moving them to Rules of basketball, which seems an appropriate place, and could probably do with them. You are, of course, welcome to disagree. :)
There's some repetition in "Personal life" with what is in "early life" - probably doesn't mean much, but it is worth considering if it can be streamlined (noting that this may not be possible).
Anyway, I'll put it on hold for now. I don't think that all of these issues need to be addressed completely, but I think it is worth discussing some of them before passing the article. Overall, though, I still feel that this article is very good - it says a lot, I think, when you genuinely enjoy reading a biography. - Bilby (talk) 13:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-09-29T13:03:00.000Z","author":"Bilby","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bilby-2008-09-29T13:03:00.000Z-GA_Review","replies":[]}}-->
Hey there, thanks for the precise and detailed review. Here my comments:
Cites now all use citation templates.
I would like to incorporate some books but I do not have any ATM. I'll try to look around though.

All good. :) I've found some additional refs that will help - I have a couple of good journal articles, and some other odds and ends that will remove any doubt with a couple of the sources. I'll add them later. One ref has a broken link as well, but that one should be easy to fix or replace, and using AGF it seems clear that it was probably good before. At the moment, though, it passes GA, and any changes are simply to keep improving it beyond that.

He was born in 1861. "Canada" proper didn't exist until 1867. The official country would be the United "Province of Canada". On top of this, the province of "Ontario" didn't exist at the time of his birth either. The article as it is would be fine if he was born post-confederation, but since he was born six years prior, it would be wrong to fudge the history.

Naismith was born in what was called British North America, in the province of Canada. He would have considered himself both British and Canadian. I think saying he was Canadian-born is correct. I do question the article saying he was a "a Canadian-born American sports coach." He became an American in 1925, when he was 64-years-old and no longer a sports coach. I think that article should say he was "a Canadian sports coach."

Being born in a pre Confederation Canada does not mean you aren't Canadian. Canadian History does not magically appear in 1867 and everything before that is a mirage. There are numerous famous Canadians who were born before 1867, they may have considered themselves British subjects if they had an English background, but at the core they were also Canadian. http://www.histori.ca/minutes/minute.do?id=14225
He is also in the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame. The main requirement to even be considered for induction into the CB Hall of Fame is "All nominees must be Canadian citizens, residents of Canada for a minimum of five years, born in Canada or made their distinguished contribution to the game of basketball in Canada." http://basketball.ca/en/hm/inside.php?sid=1&id=4779 --Steveio (talk) 23:13, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-01-11T23:13:00.000Z","author":"Steveio","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Steveio-2012-01-11T23:13:00.000Z-86.132.112.152-2011-03-13T18:49:00.000Z","replies":["c-Lvivske-2012-01-12T08:28:00.000Z-Steveio-2012-01-11T23:13:00.000Z"]}}-->
Then he would qualify as both a resident (perhaps) and "distinguished contribution to the game of basketball in Canada". Just because he was born in what would later become Canada doesn't make him a Canadian citizen, and ledes per WP:MOS are to represent citizenship. In the case of Naismith, he was British and by the time Canadian citizenship came into existence he was already out of the country and on his way to naturalizing in America. Calling him Canadian (by citizenship, not by birth, since he was born in Upper Canada) reeks of reverse engineering history to befit nationalist sentiment.--Львівське (говорити) 08:28, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-01-12T08:28:00.000Z","author":"Lvivske","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Lvivske-2012-01-12T08:28:00.000Z-Steveio-2012-01-11T23:13:00.000Z","replies":["c-Steveio-2012-01-14T02:20:00.000Z-Lvivske-2012-01-12T08:28:00.000Z"],"displayName":"\u041b\u044c\u0432\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0435"}}-->

And to address your point about citizenship I present to you the fact that being Canadian doesn't rely solely on citizenship. This point is especially important when considering historical Canadian figures born in Canada prior to Confederation. Being Canadian, is a person who identifies with the country of Canada. The connection may be genetic, residential, legal, historical, cultural, or ethnic!
The term "Canadian", once describing a francophone population, was adopted by English-speaking residents of the Canadas as well, marking the process of converting 'British' immigrants into 'Canadians.' See for example Susanna Moodie, Roughing It in the Bush, Toronto: McClelland & Stewart Limited, 1970, p. 31: quote: "British mothers of Canadian sons!—learn to feel for their country the same enthusiasm which fills your hearts when thinking of the glory of your own.

Your views on citizenship are completely irrelevant to the discussion.

I just googled the sentence and found this article: [1]. I see no date of publication on it, but it uses verbatim the sentence that the 2005 article attributes to Naismith without presenting it as a quotation. It does, however, give as a direct quotation of something Naismith said in a speech in 1936 the following: "Basketball really had its beginning in Indiana, which remains today in the center of the sport."

Further googling shows that Naismith said "Basketball really had its beginning in Indiana, which remains today in the center of the sport" in a speech at the Annual Invitational Dinner of the Physical Education Department of the Y.M.C.A. at Indianapolis, Indiana, March 27, 1936.

Curious that the middle initial - - arguably, of no importance whatsoever - - garnered two sentences, but, there is no mention of the very important fact that the bottom of the original "basket" was CLOSED, thus, forcing the need to have someone on a ladder or perch to get the ball out of the basket! The hole was added, so to speak, a couple of years, later!
