7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Early life

• "Weber has a brother named Brandon..." Incohesive placement after death of mother. Maybe place in first paragraph after first mention of parents? Done

Junior career

• Being "listed" needs better explanation. Even expanding that to "protected list" conveys more meaning. Done
• I feel like the second and third mention of "junior B" when describing the championships are unnecessary, given that it's previously established that the KIJHL is a junior B league. Done
• How did the Rockets do in the Memorial Cup? And how did they qualify if they lost the WHL finals? Done
• Replace some "Weber"s with "he". Done

Nashville Predators

• Goals and assists aren't linked in their first mentions in the article. Done in previous section
• "rash of injuries" sounds a little bit like slang. Done
• Exact same phrasing in sentences for NHL YoungStars Game and NHL All-Star Game. Mix it up? Done
• Are games played and penalty minutes "offensive categories"? Maybe reword to "statistical categories"? Done

International play

• Saying that his experience at the '07 WC was "marred" by his suspension seems a little dramatic and POV. I also went ahead and removed "ugly" to help this along. Done

References

• A lot of publications that needs italics (ie. The Province) do not have them. Done
• Spell out acronyms of publications (ie. CBC, TSN, IIHF). I know it seems tedious, but I think it's good practice. Also, it helps consistency if other publications like National Hockey League and Canadian Hockey League are spelled out. Done
• Ref 39 needs a title. Done
• Refs 17, 20, 21, 27, 42, 43, and 46 are dead. Done

Other

• Watch for redundancies in your prose. For example, writing the same word twice in a sentence. Fixed most, if not all, of these myself though.
• Disambig Dan Boyle and Sicamous. Done

All issues have been addressed, but please add any further feedback you may have! Thanks so much for the review! Cheers. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 23:14, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Sweet. Everything looks good, but just one more issue that I noticed on the second read: There are no season stats for his junior career in the prose. I think this could definitely add to the article, especially for his award-winning seasons in the WHL. Also, there is no mention of his WHL rookie season. Just this last issue to deal with and I'll pass the article! Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 00:16, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Should be all good now. I can't believe I forgot that rookie season! It was his draft year for crying out loud. I knew I was missing something. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 03:57, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
