Can the mother and father info not be combined since they use the same reference? Such as, "His father is Australian celebrity trainer Rob Rowland-Smith, known as "The Sandhill Warrior," and his mother Julie is a retired high school physical education teacher."
I would also add sister's information under early life
Are two references needed for "Rowland-Smith started playing baseball himself at the age of 12"? Can one be moved to cite the cassette paragraph?
Reference #3 doesn't support his high school fact
The reference given (which I believe is [1]) actually does - if you look at the bottom right corner of his picture, you should see "High School" hidden up there just below his chin. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 01:15, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please try and find a better reference than a stats site for his pro career debut
The rookie-level Mariners don't get a whole lot of coverage, being a low-level minor league team. Rowland-Smith's debut probably wouldn't even have been mentioned in an article about the game, if there was one. This is really only notable in the context of an article about Ryan Rowland-Smith. The source is considered reliable. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 01:15, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Rowland-Smith is currently a baseball television analyst for Root Sports Northwest..." try and avoid the use of currently. Maybe state when he began as a television analyst (which appears to be 2017).
Please archive the link for NxtGen Baseball through the Wayback Machine
I tried to archive it, but the Wayback Machine wasn't working. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 01:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Rowland-Smith was married in 2013 to American actress Amanda Aardsma.[11] Amanda is the sister of Rowland-Smith's former teammate David Aardsma.[66]" can be merged into one sentence
Try and not have single sentences. Please try expanding on his Ninja Warrior activity and blog (at least 2-3 sentences).
SB Nation is a blog
I'm having trouble finding sources that give his results from American Ninja Warrior, so rather than rely on a blog, I decided to take it out, rather than cite with unreliable sources. I did add info about his excitement in participating in the event. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 01:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is a basic review Sanfranciscogiants17, I'll do more soon. I also just wanted to say I too had the 1992 World Series on VHS (two copies actually). HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:27, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Addressed changes so far. That's cool that you had the 1992 World Series on VHS too! I hope you had access to more games on TV than Rowland-Smith did! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 01:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the fixes, I'll complete the review shortly but it should be an easy pass. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:50, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reference 47 is SB Nation but you can use this tweet.
Reference 52: Bluebird Banter is the same as SB Nation but you can use this tweet.
Reference 55 should specify the language since it isn't English
Sanfranciscogiants17 Once this is fixed, I'll pass it. Good job by the way (and no, all I had was that World Series)! Please consider nominating it for DYK, there are many interesting hooks here.HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:21, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
