I've listed this article for peer review because…Colleen Howe sadly passed away recently and the article will probably be viewed quite a lot by the WWW, and it should be ship shape - as one of Wikipedia's finer works.

Comments by JiggleJog: Okay. Here goes: the first two sentences are baffling.

Apparently you listed your desire for a review in both "biography peer review" and "general peer review". I reviewed your article over here. But I am still working on it—that is, copyediting the darned thing. Finding a good copyeditor before you request a peer review is always a good procedure. This allows your reviewers to read your article without constant interruptions like missing commas or spelling, or absolute confusion. JiggleJog ( talk) 15:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The claim that she and Howe were inducted into the US Hockey Hall of Fame isn't verified on the US Hockey Hall of Fame list of enshrinees. Any way to get primary verification? Bongo matic 02:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Re Howe and U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Monday, March 9, 2009 10:38 AM From: "Hall Info" <info@ushockeyhallmuseum.com> To: saskgenweb@yahoo.com Mark Howe was Inducted in 2003. His Family, Gordie, Colleen, Mark and Marty, received the Wayne Gretzky Award in 2000.
Mrs. Howe is NOT Inducted in the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Museum, only her son, Mark.

It seems a bit weird that in an article about a talented, accomplished woman, the only image is of her husband. I appreciate that he's not exactly a minor figure, but still. Who is this article about? Pufferfyshe ( talk) 12:55, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

"She was instrumental in the construction of Michigan's first indoor ice hockey rink" - while the source uses the same wording, surely there is something missing in this description. First ice hockey only rink, maybe? First public ice hockey rink? I mean, it's not like the Red Wings played outdoors. Echoedmyron ( talk) 14:05, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
