Lead

• Just prior to the 2016–17 NHL season, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall — linking ' general manager' seems over-linking.
  • Reworded instead. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• but struggled after the interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic — 'struggled' doesn't seem the best word here. Can we rephrase a bit?
  • Reworded. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Early life

• He grew up in Clachan, Ontario, — Just like the lead, I think writing this as just 'Clachan' would suffice. Especially as 'Ontario' has already been mentioned in the previous sentence.
  • Done. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• Although began playing — missing 'he'
  • Added. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Playing career

• Just as the lead, mention that 'Ontario Hockey League' is abbreviated to 'OHL'
  • Done. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• linking ' general manager' seems over-linking, here as well
  •  Not done. General manager has a very specific role within the team. They handle all personnel decisions. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• By January, → "By January 2017,"
  • done. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• After taking a hit against the St. Louis Blues on February 6, however, Konecny was — can remove 'however' and the commas from this sentence
  • done. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• after his battle with the virus — needs to be rephrased.
  • done. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

International play

• Konecny made his international debut with a number of performances for Canada in under-18 tournaments in 2014. — pipe 'in under-18 tournaments' to Canada men's national under-18 ice hockey team
  •  Partly done reworded differently but to the same effect. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• against Sweden — the linking makes it appear like WP:EGG
  • Changed to "the Swedish team". — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • lost to Finland — same as above
  • Changed to "the Finnish team". — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Player profile

• "176 lb" in infobox v. "178 pounds" in this section.
  • fixed. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• he has learned to focus on speed and agility over strength — can't say this in Wikipedia's voice
  • Clarified. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • with age, he has learned to temper these impulses and improve his decision-making on plays. — same as above, needs attribution to who considers this.
    • Clarified. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• frequently "chirping" insults — Avoid quoting single words. ( MOS:QUOTEPOV)
  • Chirping is a hockey term. I linked to the glossary instead. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Personal life

• and has been taught → "was taught"
  • Fixed. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Awards and honours

• I made a general table formatting edit. – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 15:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC) reply

References

• Few sources have website/news agency linked (example. The Province, Hockey-Reference.com, etc.) while most other have not. Suggesting to be consistent. – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 15:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • In the process of fixing per MOS:REFLINK. I have been told before by MOS:DUPLINK that you should not repeat linked citation works, but I see now that is incorrect. It appears there is no official policy either way, just that you can duplink citations. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Moreover, if I am not mistaken, this point lies outside the GA criteria, so it can be ignored. – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 18:17, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Looking good overall, just few minor comments. – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 15:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Kavyansh.Singh I have made all edits except where noted. Unfortunately, I don't think I can review the article you suggested, as I have a number of deadlines in the coming weeks that will limit my on-Wiki effectiveness. — Ghost River 18:07, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

No issues at-all. Will read the article again with a view to pass it soon. Thanks for all your work here! – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 18:17, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply

• Also, it would be appreciated if you could review Day of Infamy speech, which I want to feature on the main page on December 7/8, so I'll need it to be GA soon. No issues if you cannot. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 18:49, 28 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Happy to pass the article! – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 18:35, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
