5x expanded by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:42, 8 January 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Hi HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk), review follows: article expanded more than 5x from 7 January; article is well written and generally cited in line throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject; A spotcheck found no issues with overly close paraphrasing and the Earwig check was clear; hooks are interesting enough for me and mentioned in the article, but I struggled to find the supporting statement for the "first player in San Jose Sharks franchise history" part of ALT0, could you help me out? A few sourcing queries: What is the source for the stats tables? His height, weight, playing position, handedness and draft position are stated in the infobox but uncited. Also awaiting a QPQ - Dumelow (talk) 12:29, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Dumelow and thanks for taking on this review. I will replace the source for ALT0 immediately. At the very bottom of the article, it says Biographical information and career statistics from NHL.com, or Eliteprospects.com, or Hockey-Reference.com, or The Internet Hockey Database. This is pretty standard for every ice hockey article. I will get the QPQ done ASAP and ping you when it's done. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:52, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thought it'd be something like that. Will keep an eye out for the QPQ - Dumelow (talk) 11:00, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dumelow, QPQ is done. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:14, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 19:23, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
