Noted you use Daily News (New York) for a number of references. Try to replace these, as the above mentioned is a tabloid and unreliable... actually, looking around, I see the Toronto Sun and the Calgary Sun are also tabloids and unreliable. Major concern right now, with regards to WP:RS.
Ref 8 Globe and Mail should be The Globe and Mail.
Joseph Nieuwendyk (born September 10, 1966) is a Canadian... Not sure how important it is to mention Canada here
where he was a two-time All American hyphen All-American
{Lead} He has served.. He->> Nieuwendyk to reduce repetition.
The Ontario Lacrosse Association later named it's junior A rookie of the year award after Nieuwendyk If I understand correctly, it's should be its.
Will review the rest of the article later. Right now, the reliability of sources is the article's biggest problem. Albacore (talk) 01:09, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Appreciate the review. However, the two Sun papers are tabloid format (as opposed to broadsheet) but are not tabloids in a National Enquirer sense. The Calgary Sun is one of two major dailies in this city, while the Toronto Sun is also a major paper in its city. They are owned by a major Canadian media company, and are reliable sources. I would also consider the New York Daily News reliable for the stories cited (though am aware it is usually more of a case-by-case basis with that paper). In the case of the NYDN, however, I will replace as I can. I would imagine my Highbeam account will allow an opportunity to replace these links. Thanks, Resolute 02:00, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Replaced the NYDN links (as expected, Highbeam was useful), corrected the rest. I left the Canadian part in the opening sentence, as that is our standard intro for hockey player bios. Also carries relevance since he represented Canada internationally. I await the remainder of your review. Thanks, Resolute 23:44, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rest
Playing hockey and lacrosse for the Big Red,[6] He was named watch your caps
...against the Washington Capitals and scored his first NHL goal, against Pete Peeters. 1. comma is unnecessary, 2. might be worth saying Peeters was a goalie.
He refused an offer of a three-year, $6 million contract from the Flames, and as the dispute dragged on, refused to report to the team when the season began. Worth clarifying where he was reporting, or to what
Nieuwendyk improved to 30 goals in 1996–97 despite worth stating how many goals he had the previous year for comparison
He scored 11 points in 14 games for the Devils following the trade,[16] but the team disappointed in the playoffs. New Jersey was eliminated in the first round of the 2002 Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Carolina Hurricanes. Remove everything from the first comma to the first period, then combine.
After missing 14 games, Nieuwendyk chose to leave the game. He announced his retirement on December 7, 2006. Remove "chose to leave the game." and combine appropriately.
he had a great stick around the net, he had a great shot, he saw the ice well, he could skate, he had the size -- -- to –
He was known for his charitable contributions throughout his career. remove entirely
I'll do some spot-checks on refs once these comments are addressed. If there's no problems, I'll pass the article. Albacore (talk) 00:27, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All of your new comments should be addressed. Thanks, Resolute 03:10, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just spot-checked some online refs. Ref 32 gives me an error, and ref 40 goes to the newspaper's home page. After that, I'll pass. Albacore (talk) 15:32, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My error on the first, and linkrot on the second. Both updated. Thanks, Resolute 00:56, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
