This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I'm interested in taking this to WP:FAC, but I'm interested in some pointers before the FAC, and some input wrt WP:WIAFA cr. 1b.

 * At a glance, I've got a few thoughts, but I'll go through it more later:
 * The pre- and post-NHL career and legacy sections seem rather short. I would specifically work on post-NHL career. After all, Thompson was alive for another 40 years, there must have been something that can be said for that.
 * It's been really difficult to source it; hockey players who retired in the 40s weren't really covered that much later in the media.-- Maxim (talk)  14:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * There's no source for Thompson having the second most shutouts, and as a single sentence paragraph, looks bad. Perhaps add it into legacy or something along the lines of that?
 * Removed.-- Maxim (talk)  14:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * A heavy reliance on so few of references. It won't pass FA with references consisting mainly of two pages of a book, heavy reference to the HHOF statistics page, and extensive use of hockey-reference.com. There is more out there about Thompson, and I imagine most of what is sourced here can be found there.
 * I'll try to expand the sourcing, although I've been pretty busy recently, so it's not there yet.-- Maxim (talk)  14:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you sure that he was paid in US$ by the Red Wings? The early NHL tended to use C$, though this may be hard to prove, and porbably not to relevent.
 * Fixed.-- Maxim (talk)  14:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try and go through again in more detail in the next while. Kaiser matias (talk) 08:19, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Just curious to why the Career statistic section is missing? A good read, but I don't like the current format of the heading. —Krm500 (Communicate!) 05:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Added the stats, but I don't get your second point.-- Maxim (talk)  14:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
