# Talk:David Perron

Sportsfan 1234, the 2010 image really isn't that good. He had red eye, isn't even wearing anything identifying him with the NHL, and adds little impact to the article. We already have an image of him in a St. Louis jersey in the section, why do we need this one? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:39, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't see the red eye? Anyways, I tried cropping it to make it smaller. Not every picture need to identify the subject as part of the NHL. This is the only picture that actually shows David Perron without hockey gear, the others its harder to tell that is Perron himself. Thought this was different and added something different to the article. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 20:44, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
For ex. this picture [1] of Joe Thornton. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 20:44, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Sportsfan 1234, The issue is that a) it makes the text look weird b) we already have a good image and c) the red eye can be seen in the iris. As a compromise, I found like 4 pictures of him on Flickr w/o a helmet but in a St. Louis uniform during the parade. Can we use one of those? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:45, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Sportsfan 1234, I'm attempting to get the article to GA status and I really don't think that image adds to the section especially since it's in playing career. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:47, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
I think the picture there is already good, it doesn't detract from GA status. Perhaps move it elsewhere? The image is also wikilinked to buzz cut, an article I was working on as well. BTW this is the earliest image available from the start of his career. Maybe it can move one section above? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 20:51, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Sportsfan 1234, fair enough, that's a good point. Once there's more text in the article it may be able to be moved up/down so it doesn't make the text weird. I think once the article is in better shape it'll be easier to place it. We'll just leave it for now. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:53, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. The parade pictures should be included as well (at the end, when you get to that section). You are doing a good job, and this article will be a GA in no time! Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 20:54, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Still a tad bit short of a lead for a longer article. Done
Any chance of finding which team he was drafted by in the midget draft?
Believe it was Lewiston Maineiacs
"In spite of this" WP:EDITORIAL. Done
"and participate in the Memorial Cup" Past tense. Done
"Midget B level" Not mentioned in source. Done
Link John Davidson (ice hockey), Doug Weight, and Doug Armstrong. Done
Expand GM out to general manager, you haven't mentioned what the abbreviation meant. Done
Be consistent with the use of ellipses.
"runner up" Dash needed. Done
"2011–12 camapgin"  Done
"although the following season would be his last. In his final season with the team, Perron failed to maintain his scoring prowess" A bit of editorializing and puffery, especially with the source only showing stats.  Done
Misspelling for Ref 33's title (30 Thoughts). Done
"During the preseason games, Perron recorded three goals and four points in three exhibition games." Maybe change it to "Through three preseason games, Perron recorded three goals and four points." Done
"Penguins lone goal" Missing apostrophe. Done
"Perro said" Done
Starting to realize that there's a lot of quotes in the article...
Link Ironman Triathlon, Chris Stewart (ice hockey, born 1987), and Ryan Johansen. Done
Feels a bit disproportionate to have only four sentences for the 2nd stint with the Blues, are you sure there isn't more info for that year?  Done
"left exposed" Unprotected sounds better for this situation. Done
"19 point" Plural. Done
Link Injured reserve list and Boston Bruins. Done
"eventually losing in Game 5." Lost the series in five. Done

That should be it. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 07:57, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Nova Crystallis, done! A small part of me wants to bring the references to a nice rounded 100. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
