The content I removed was superfluous information. I also moved some content and removed redundant content. I spruced up and simplified the intro, and made sentences throughout read better. I simplified and tweaked sentences. I'm not happy you reverted everything. I am happy to discuss particulars. I have a lot of suggestions. Kingturtle ( talk) 20:50, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
A few comments:
It would be nice to know how the young Thompson befriended the elder Reid in the first place. Kingturtle ( talk) 03:17, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
These NHL accomplishments should also be noted:

I find it a little odd that he was called "Tiny" as a joke because he was 5 ft 10 in as a teenager - and then he was 5 ft 10 in as an adult. Did he stop growing at 14? Kingturtle ( talk) 23:10, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
I was asked on my talk page to comment here, so I'll add a couple quick thoughts relating to the above comments:
Does anyone have any more information of his life in Sandon? Was he just born there, but moved very early? It's a ghost town now. Perhaps his father was a miner. I was at the museum there, and remember seeing a short clip about Tiny, but don't recall it saying much about his life there. -- CutOffTies ( talk) 02:28, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Why so many photographs of others? The captions are useful however I think the photos of Charlie Gardiner, Art Ross, Georges Vézina and George Hainsworth introduce more confusion than context. Oh and well done on the TFA. 174.119.19.211 ( talk) 05:14, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
I don't think the sentence "That season marked the first time two brothers opposed each other in an NHL game, as Thompson's brother Paul played for the New York Rangers" is correct. I think that Cy Denneny and Corbett Denneny must have faced each other. Cy played for Ottawa and Corbett for Toronto in the very first NHL season. ʘ alaney2k ʘ ( talk) 21:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
So, it could be revised to something like "Tiny was the first NHL goaltender to face his brother (Paul) in NHL play." ʘ alaney2k ʘ ( talk) 22:13, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
