Comments

• Did some copy-editing throughout the article. Some things to watch out for in your prose were consistent American spelling (ie. defenseman, honors), spelling out the contractions and avoiding words like "severe" or "drastically".
• How have his teams done? Maybe not as important for his junior career, but a short mention of where the Thrashers have finished in the standings would be helpful.

Added

• Why aren't Massachusetts or Vancouver linked, while other locations like Switzerland, Massena and St. Lawrence River are?

Done

• I don't see in the reference given where it says Bogosian withheld his wrist injury to the team.

Was later in the article there. I moved it up to be more in line with the injury.

• I tried to do some work on it, but I feel like that paragraph on his second NHL season doesn't read as smoothly as it could.

I modified it some more; let me know how it goes

• His grandfather was the first Armenian to play in the NHL at age 16?

Ha, not really. Fixed that.

• Dab Yannick Tremblay.

Done

• Refs 4, 5 and 8 need access dates.

Done

• What's the rationale behind listing some publishers by their website and others not?

I'm assuming you're referring to the 3 media guide refs used. I used those publishers because technically those 2 media guides are physical books, which is also why I used the {{cite book}} template rather than the {{cite web}} one.

• This obviously isn't necessary, but I think it's extremely helpful to selectively archive refs. With any FA or GA I've had passed, I'm trying to go back and archive any ref that is used at least three times in the article. Here's a link: http://www.webcitation.org/archive.php

Interesting. I'll have to look into this.

I think that's it for now. I may come back and add some more in a day or so though. Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 23:08, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Everything so far dealt with. If anything comes up let me know. Kaiser matias (talk) 00:45, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
