Some copy cleanup, but the most direly needed fixes are to the uncited statements. Thebiguglyalien passed this for DYK with those included, which surprises me. But they are not going to be able to stand at GAN without citations. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:44, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copy changes[edit]

Lead[edit]

High school[edit]

College[edit]

Pro career[edit]

There are two [citation needed] templates that must be resolved. Partial sourcing is available in newspapers to fill this gap.[2][3] Note that the team is not mentioned in the former and particularly that the latter suggests he did not play for Savannah after November 1987. (Side note: this went to DYK with two citation needed templates, which is astoundingly bad.)

@TonyTheTiger The main problem left is that the new sources do not include the Shell team or the "5 games" specifically with Savannah. My guess is that there is not a lot of available online sourcing for the PBA from the 1980s, though I did find a story in Rappler which mentions that Shell signed Rowe. His WVU profile indicates he played in several other countries: Argentina, the Philippines, Venezuela, France, Germany and the United States.

@TonyTheTiger Just reminding you of these last fixes to match the article text to the available sourcing. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:30, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone ahead and done this since it seems you're busy with other projects. Will pass. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:26, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life[edit]

  • As of March 18, 2013 his daughters were aged 21 and 19, respectively. There has to be a better way to say this, something like "born 1991/92" and "born 1993/94", that doesn't age so poorly.
    Reworded it myself. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:48, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • in 2008–09 senior season try in her senior season in 2008–09

Spot checks[edit]

  • Ref [15] (Chicago Tribune): The correct page number is section 4, page 3. The Tribune had numbered sections back then, and it is easy to miss that, especially with ProQuest where it might not be so apparent. I usually write this as 4:3.
  • Consider cleaning up all the [Final Edition] etc. in the ProQuest titles.
    I took care of it. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:47, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • 4: This NewsBank link gives me fits, but I found the original 1981 naming too.[4] checkY
  • 8: With a 12.6 average, Maurice Martin of St. Joseph's was the No. 2 scorer for the Atlantic 10 basketball all-stars who toured Spain. Martin, a 6-6 sophomore, scored his tour-high 24 points vs. Panama. Leading scorer for the A-10s (3-5 record) was Lester Rowe of West Virginia with a 19.9 average checkY
  • 12: The preseason all- conference team includes George Washington's 6-foot, 10-inch, 260-pound Michael Brown, a sure NBA first-round pick; St. Joseph's guard Maurice Martin, who made it to the Olympic team's final 20 players, and Rutgers scoring machine John Battle, whom Boston Celtics general manager Red Auerbach likened to former all-pro guard Dave Bing. Temple's Granger Hall and West Virginia leaper Lester Rowe round out the coaches' first-team choices. checkY
  • 17: That was back when current WVU assistant coach Lester Rowe was in uniform, throwing down thunderous dunks on the Coliseum floor. checkY
  • 22: YOUNGSTOWN (IBA) - Signed Clinton Ransey, Clyde Vaughan, Lester Rowe and Ray Hall, guards. checkY
