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."

On July 12, 2021, Smith made several disparaging remarks about the Los Angeles Angels two-way player Shohei Ohtani, mainly about his need for an interpreter since Ohtani is from Japan. Many people criticised his comments, since they were considered racist, xenophobic, and came around a time where Asians were still recovering from the effects of racism during the COVID-19 pandemic. He apologized later that day stating that he had "screwed up". [1]76.82.51.127 (talk) 03:27, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There should be something here about his actual record as a basketball player since he acts like he knows so much about what it's like to be one. I guess he played in high school but there's no proof of that and good Good luck finding his statistics Winston-Salem because they appeared to be buried as though there's some kind of national secret.Jackhammer111 (talk) 02:30, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a factual error in the biography. Smith is the youngest of six children, not the fifth of six as stated. In fact the characterization of “fifth” is refuted in the next sentence. It says “ Smith is the fifth of six children.[2][5] He has four older sisters and had a older brother,…” if he has 5 older siblings he can’t be 5th. He says in his biography that he’s youngest of six. Wcgerken (talk) 06:31, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
