Comments

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]

Other comments

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]

Opening paragraphs

I do not think this paragraph should be in in the opening. This should be moved down to playing career. Opinions?

"Just prior to the 2016–17 NHL season, the Flyers announced that both Konecny and his fellow 2015 first-round draftee Ivan Provorov would bypass the traditional tryout period for rookies and would play in the NHL for the entire season. Konecny's first two seasons in the NHL were uneven, with both scoring streak and slumps, and coach Dave Hakstol would frequently move his skaters up and down offensive lines. After Hakstol's firing in December 2018, Konecny found a steady position with Claude Giroux and James van Riemsdyk, and his scoring became consistent. He led the Flyers in scoring for the 2019–20 season, but ran into offensive difficulties after the interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, first with a goal drought in the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs followed by a lackluster performance in the 2020–21 NHL season" AdaminPhilly (talk) 12:15, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
