Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 23, 2011.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that future Hall of Famer Scotty Davidson was the first professional hockey player to volunteer with the Canadian Expeditionary Force on the outbreak of World War I?

[edit]

There's a nice image of Davidson at Flickr. It would be PD-Canada because it was a pre-1949 photograph, and PD-US-1996, because it was PD in Canada in 1996. Maxim(talk) 02:55, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

looks like maybe it moved? Not sure if it is the same article but a quick Google search reviles this
Well, how useful. That link went dead the same day I nominated the article Facepalm Facepalm. Thanks for finding the new link. That is the same article, and has been replaced.
I usually don't bother with this one, but have no issue adding, so done.
  • He was a standout offensive player in the formative years of hockey history, Doesn't sound right; "standout" reads like a peacock term, as do the "formative years of hockey"
Fixed
  • The Blueshirts then immediately faced the Victoria Aristocrats of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association in what was considered a specific date?
Added
  • Always willing to aid a comrade, he... more peacocks.
Removed
  • The Kingston Frontenacs erected a monument to his his memory
Not sure what you are concerned about.

Removed already.

Will revisit when these issues are taken care of. Albacore (talk) 22:07, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All should be addressed, save the last. I think you forgot the second half of your statement.  ;) Thanks, Resolute 00:14, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reread and made a few minor copy edits. It looks like a GA to me, so I'll pass the article. Albacore (talk) 23:06, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, thanks! I was a little worried on this one because the time he played and the fact his career was so short due to the war meant there was far less source material than exists for most Hall of Famers. Appreciate the review! Resolute 00:04, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
