   Pass/Fail:

Early life and College career

• Ref 1 needs date published (October 31, 2012)
  • Please also cite his birthday
• Ref #6 says he had a tough time at in Florence, Alabama and nearly broke the school record for strikeouts. Can this be added?
  • I can't access ref #6, unfortunately. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
• Ref 8 doesn't support the content (ie. Romo went to Orange Coast College before transferring to Arizona Western College.)
• Why is ref 9 cited twice when it can be used once?
• Ref 11 doesn't work for me

Professional career

San Francisco Giants

• Ref 16 doesn't support content cited
  • No, it does (click View More Bio Info) Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:54, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

International play

• Ref 14 and 15 doesn't support content cited
  • No, it does (click View More Bio Info) Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:54, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
  • See also Giants concerned about Sergio Romo's usage in the WBC
• Romo gained notoriety for being one of the team's "Beards", along with LHP Jeremy Affeldt and closer Brian Wilson
  • When I first read this, I immediately read it as Beard (companion). Can this be re-worded? I assume you actually meant he has a beard
• His ERA was the third-lowest among NL relievers, and his strikeout-to-walk ratio of 14:1 was the best in MLB and the best ever since Dennis Eckersley's 18.25:1 ratio in 1990. He stranded 81.8% of runners (fifth in the NL) and trailed only Kris Medlen in strike percentage (71%) among NL pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched. This isn't supported by the reference cited
  • No, it is (click View More Bio Info) Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

The closer (2012–14)

• Ref 44 needs an access-date
• Ref 45 doesn't say Jeff Locke and Jordan Zimmermann made starts on Sunday and became ineligible to pitch. It says Pittsburgh's Jeff Locke and Washington's Jordan Zimmermann, were ruled inactive.
  • That's the reason pitchers are ruled inactive before an All-Star Game. If it was a reason other than that they had pitched on Sunday, the source would have said. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:42, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
• Ref 53 needs date published (October 30, 2014)

Last years with Giants (2015–16)

• Ref 54 is dead
• Ref 55 needs author (Chris Haft)

Tampa Bay Rays

• Ref 71 is dead
• Ref 79 needs author

Minnesota Twins

• Is mlbtraderumors a reliable source? Can a better source be used?
• Romo reached the playoffs as the Twins won the AL Central title in 2019 not mentioned in ref. Also, maybe re-word it to Romo helped the Twins reach the playoffs as they won the AL Central title in 2019.
  • Source states that the Twins won the AL Central, and the fact that Romo pitched in the playoffs for them shows that he was part of the playoff team. However, I cited a reference mentioning one of the games he pitched in, for clarity's sake. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:32, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
• Ref 91 needs author

Pitches

• Is fangraphs a reliable source?
  • It should be. I've used it on several good articles in the past without anyone saying it was an issue. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:29, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Personal life

• Per WP:BLPPRIVACY and Wikipedia:Minors and persons judged incompetent, we don't usually list the name of children
  • We know their names, so I think the article is more complete by listing them. It doesn't say anything derogatory about them. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:57, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
