:This article doesn't say much of anything. It's just a collection of shallow social rhetoric with few solid facts.  The intro and "History" section need to be completely re-written. Djcastel 18:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scandinavian Women's Sports 

message: Hello! I plan on editing the "Women's Sports" article as part of a class project. I will be restructuring the article, such as combining smaller sections together into larger ones; editing sections so they include the experiences of athletes in a greater number of non-Western countries; and adding new sections, like "Professional Sports," to further enrich the article. If you'd like to learn more about my plans, please visit my Sandbox, where I have included an annotated bibliography and more details on my plans. Thanks!

thread_title:  Planned Edits to Women's Sports Article 

message: I have updated the "Battle for Equality" section with more information for the Norway and Sweden subsections (Ada Hegerberg's protest and the #ForTheFuture movement, respectively) and entirely new subsections about Jamaica (soccer and netball) and South Africa (soccer). I would love to update this section with more information from more countries than are currently listed (particularly from Global South countries if possible), as well as with more sports, so if anyone has any thoughts about relevant information that I should include, please let me know! 
I also plan to continue working on this section, with information regarding Irish rugby and the #Legacy movement, as well as American ice hockey and the #DreamGapTour and the boycott of the NWHL. But I definitely would love feedback and am open to hearing ideas! Emilymohlin (talk) 05:22, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Need more women's pro league info 

message: Hello Wikipedia!
I will attempt to increase the geographic scope of this article, specifically to include the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China(Taiwan). This area of the world is extremely populous and has a long history of women's sports, and has a high participation rate of women. Resultantly, I seek to provide an important storyline which is currently absent. This will include analysis of the Chinese Olympic industry, as well as analysis of the role of media, culture, and politics on women; focusing mainly on women in China and Taiwan. Further, I hope to analyze some of the ways in which women in sports are marginalized and underrepresented in these places. I will provide sources from a range of backgrounds and a variety of sports. The only difficulty is providing introspective sources from the People's Republic of China, as it is difficult for anything critical of the state-backed Olympic industry to permeate the intense censorship. Most sources will be from dissident emigrants or outside observers. For a complete list of sources I intend to integrate so far visit the sandbox accessible via my talk page. If you have any feedback or suggestions on that issue or anything else about my planned editing please reply or reach out on my talk page.
Thanks! Tancardinal (talk) 08:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expanding the geographic scope of the article to include China 

message: Your article is very well-written and the information you added fits well in the article. I would focus on making changes to the lead sentence to give your article an assertive start and consider moving some sections around for clarity. The article is very easy to read and seems to take on a neutral point of view. Natsz72 (talk) 19:23, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: article review

message: Hi Emily! I think you've done great work with this article! I especially like the addition of the sex-specific injuries and the professional leagues; the first one especially also introduced multiple viewpoints to the article. The addition of professional leagues was also a great demonstration of women's representation in professional sports. In terms of changes, I would consider re-organizing the US: Title IX section for straighter flow and less redundancy, as there are existing subsections that also cover it. I would also consider adding some citations in areas that are lacking (such as Muslim women in sports). Amymu123 (talk) 00:44, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer review 

message: Hello Wikipedia community. I am excited to share my plans with you on how I will successfully contribute to the information already presented on the topic of women’s sports. The first thing I intend to do is create a new heading under the “History” section where I will title it “Germany”. As seen in the current article already, a summary of women’s sports in multiple countries has already been summarized. Due to the fact that Germany is and was one of the leading countries in Central Europe, I believe it is important to understand the role that women had in sports in Germany. The information I will use to support my points comes from chapter 2 of The Masculinized Female Athlete by Katie Sutton. One of the main focuses of this secondary source is the topic of women’s sports in Germany and the threat that women made to male dominance. I want to add information suggesting that female athletic dominance grew during the Weimar period in Germany and include some of the factors that contributed in this new era. Few opportunities made it possible for women to join sports programs and push boundaries within society. These included the enrollment of women in German universities, the rise in female employment, as well as involvement in war industries. All of these are examples of economic changes due to World War 1 (Sutton, pg.67). I want to make the point that women began to emphasize their sexuality and this drew attention towards growing athleticism, (Sutton, pg.67). This allowed women to grow and gain more publicity and attention to their place in sports. Altogether, I will be adding about 200-300 words on this topic. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page. Thank you! Summer.Solomon (talk) 00:15, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding Germany as a Section (Wiki 4) 

message: Recently had to remove content claiming the female "jillstrap" or pelvic protectir was designed by a USA Miami man named Ronald Paramore in the United States. This information was originally from the wiki article "Jockstrap".
There is evidence, though currently not accessible online, that female pelvic protectors were available for female broomball and ice hockey players, as well as ringette players, in Canada by the late 1980's. Until this is sorted out, I think editors should refrain from giving credit to Paramore since this doesn't appear to be the case. CheckersBoard (talk) 00:41, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

message: , you restored content to the lead that is not mentioned in the body or supported by the sources. In this edit you added a source that does not verify the content at all. This compounds the existing issues with sources like the ones that are currently citation #7, citation #14, and citation #15. This article has serious verifiability, original research, and NPOV issues, and you are blocking incremental progress and worsening the problems.
