Talk:Curtis Joseph

B class article

This article is coming along well. The article contains infobox, several appropriate categories, pertinent sections, early life as well as professional career, picture, and sources. WP banners are listed on the talk page as well. It should soon be able to advance if a couple of points can be fixed such as...

• It would be ready for a good article review soon, I believe, if the paragraphs could be sourced better - try to aim for a source for each fact or at least 2-3 references per paragraph at least if possible. The referencing method on this article has been changed somewhat - one citation can be used more than once - if it is appropriate to more than one fact. See templates for citations and Sourcing for more clews.
• The other thing that is often requested as an article improves would be that the lead paragraph in a well written article sometimes must stand alone ie a feature article has only its lead paragraph on the front page of wikipedia. So without looking at the rest of the article, would only the lead paragraph introduce the reader to a glimpse of all the ensuing paragraphs/sections, and entice the reader to click on the article, if only the lead paragraph were the one that was read by the reader?
• Eliminate empty sections if there is no pertinent info.SriMesh | talk 02:40, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

After extensive discussion with the nominator of this article over IRC, I not believe it meets all of the good article criteria, thus, I'm passing it as a GA. Congrats to the main contributors and good work :) Qst 21:30, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

How do you not believe it meets the criteria and still pass it? Just kidding, probably a typo.--Serte ^{[ Talk · Contrib ]} 21:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I am Curtis Joseph and I'm seeing a few mistakes on my page such as where I was born. I was not born in Keswick nor did I ever live there. Somehow that mistake happened and it showed up on everything. I'd like to correct some of the mistakes on my page along with adding some recent events such as my marriage. Let me know how this can be done. Thanks

Hi Curtis. I would suggest emailing the address at Wikipedia:Contact_us_-_Subjects. Somebody from the Volunteer Response Team should be able to help you. TerminalPreppie (talk) 14:35, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

A GA from 2008. Lots of things in the article look unsourced like

• Joseph broke into the NHL in 1990, playing for the St. Louis Blues. In the off-season following the 1990–91 NHL season, the Blues signed Brendan Shanahan from the New Jersey Devils. Shanahan was a restricted free agent, and thus the Devils were entitled to compensation. The teams could not agree on what the compensation was; the Blues offered Curtis Joseph, Rod Brind'Amour, and two draft picks, while the Devils wanted Scott Stevens. Joseph seemed to be the answer the Devils were looking for in goal, but the case went to arbitration, and a judge ruled that Stevens was to be awarded to the Devils in September 1991. Joseph remained with the Blues until 1995. The 1992–93 NHL season was his most successful season, as he played a key role in the upset of the Chicago Blackhawks, the reigning Clarence Campbell Conference regular season champions; the Blues swept them in four games in the first round of the playoffs. The Blues then faced the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round, and though the Leafs prevailed, the series went to seven games thanks to Joseph's play. Because of his efforts, he was nominated as a finalist for the Vezina Trophy that season, finishing third in voting behind winner Ed Belfour and Tom Barrasso. After a disappointing first-round exit in the 1995 playoffs, St. Louis Blues coach and general manager Mike Keenan declined to re-sign Joseph and traded his rights to the Edmonton Oilers.
• On March 1, 2008, Joseph moved past Terry Sawchuk for fourth place in all-time NHL wins with 448 in a 3–1 win over his former team, the Phoenix Coyotes. On April 13, 2008, Joseph replaced Miikka Kiprusoff less than four minutes into the first period of Game #3 of the Flames' first round series of the 2008 playoffs with the San Jose Sharks. Joseph backstopped the Flames to a come-from-behind 4–3 win after initially falling behind 3–0. This win made him the first goaltender to win a post-season game as a member of five different teams: St.Louis, Edmonton, Toronto, Detroit and Calgary.
• His autobiography, Cujo: The Untold Story of My Life On and Off the Ice, was released in 2018.

and many more. Also, the article looks like it needs updating since it seems to end at 2017. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:19, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
