Quality of writing
, could you clarify why you feel each of the changes made in this diff were necessary other than the "terrorized" bit? The effect of the edit is to remove the aspects of the prose which summarized his career, leaving what's more-or-less a stats table in prose. Reliable sources are cited which support such assessments as "a playoff run" (common terminology in sports coverage) and "a relatively quiet season" (important to summarizing the course of his career). Additionally, the last sentence change is awkward the way you altered it, with two clauses of very similar grammatical (one missing a comma). ~ Rob 13 Talk 01:30, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Rob, I saw the above message but have to run for the moment, I should be able to reply in more detail later today (Feb 14). That being said, feel free to tweak or reword what I've changed, the primary goal was to try and ensure neutrality and an encyclopedic tone.  Sports articles are not my area of expertise however so if I erred too far on the dry side then I trust you to handle as you see fit (copyedits are also always welcome).

 * In general as I mentioned above my goal was to try and make the article have what I perceived as a more neutral tone. I agree with the concern about the article becoming too dry and just a table of statistics.  The changes were all made for that reason, there really isn't anything that caught my attention with each change (outside the first) aside from their language being a bit more flowery that I would expect from an encyclopedia article.  If you have any more specific questions I would be happy to answer them.  Mifter (talk) 23:04, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries. I've since changed some of the language back to what it was and altered a few to "third options". Note that, for sports articles, commentary on a player's performance is often directly supported by reliable sources and very relevant to an encyclopedic covering of the player's career. ~ Rob 13 Talk 00:11, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
