Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the ✅ tag to state when something is addressed.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

Lede

 * WP:SHORT DESCRIPTION? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

 * reword to avoid WP:SEAOFBLUE. ice hockey defenceman Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Whats with the jump from being drafted to the blues, and then playing with Alaska Nanooks? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Parayko won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Blues in 2019. - this is a significantly bigger deal than what is being said here. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Internationally, Parayko has competed for Team Canada - the Canadian team. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I can change it but it is known as Team Canada (see the lede of Canada men's national ice hockey team)

 * The Rural & Edmonton Midget 15AA Hockey League is the league they played in but I have removed it.

 * After the Oil Barons fell to the - the "X fell to Y" isn't fantastic writing, can we say "defeated", or "beat"? The term fell usually refers to soldiers dying in battle. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
