Green tickY hat trick should bee both linked and hyphenated "hat-trick" first occurrence  Done
Green tickY 2–1 and others like it should probably be 2–1  Done

  • Changed to slowed down
Green tickY "by the mid-point of February" consider middle  Done
Green tickY "Coming off his poor season" consider After his poor season  Done
Green tickY "In spite of the move" consider "Despite"  Done I may have been mistaken about this request and have placed a message for the nominator. talk page message Bruxton (talk) 18:19, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
? "Jenner still experienced lengthy scoring droughts" consider a better word in place of droughts  Done
  • I merged this sentence and the next so it now says Despite the move, Jenner still struggled to score consistently until the Blue Jackets acquired Thomas Vanek after the NHL Trade Deadline
Green tickY "They struggled to develop chemistry as a line" consider that develop chemistry may not be easy for non english speakers to understand since nothing involves science here.  Done

Green tickY "offseason training regime." consider "regimen"  Done

Citations[edit]

Green tickY Early life section citations check out
Green tickY "Due to their struggles, former Blue Jackets assistant coach Gary Agnew took over as head coach for the Generals in early November." The source behind the citation is just a hiring announcement but does not say why he was hired.  Done
Green tickY Playing career Amateur Spot checked the majority and the rest of citations and they line up.
Green tickY Professional Early years (2012–2016) "Jenner and fellow rookie Jack Johnson scored their first playoff goals within three minutes of each other during Game 3" this might be a slight misinterpretation of the reference, it actually says "scoring a pair of goals in the first three minutes"  Done
Green tickY Professional Early years (2012–2016) "Following his successful rookie season, Jenner was held to only 31 games during the 2014–15 NHL season due to various injuries" this line needs a reference because it is not supported by the citation.
Green tickY Finding post-season success, captaincy (2016–present) (to be done) Not an error, but should we list his nickname in the article? Bam Bam?
Green tickY Finding post-season success, captaincy (2016–present) citations support the text in the rest of the section
Green tickY Playing style citation supports the section
Green tickY Personal life citations support the section
Green tickY Career statistics I must admit I was not sure if this section needed to be cited. I checked other sports articles Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and I see that these types of charts are not cited.
Green tickY Awards and honours section the citation supports this section

Images[edit]
