Talk:Ivan Provorov

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is my first time posting on a talk page, apologies if I've done it wrong. There seems to be some confusion about Provorov's CHL draft position. Multiple articles reference him being taken 30th, but the CHL website itself (https://chl.ca/draft/2014) shows him going 25th. I'd changed it to 25th when I saw the CHL page, but with so many places mentioning 30th, I wanted to make some note about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LuluVohn (talkcontribs) 01:11, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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 {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs)

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.

Overall: I prefer ALT1 becuase it is becoming increasingly more common for hockey players to move across the world at a young age but both work. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:14, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A "billet family"

[edit]

This expression in "Early Life" (2nd paragraph) is almost illiterate -- perhaps an expression from someone who hasn't mastered the English language. The WP link indicates this to be an obscure term with quasi-military connotations (generally forced by an invading army and almost always negative). "American host family" is the proper term here. 173.77.71.234 (talk) 17:24, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the term, billet family, is inappropriate, especially with a link to the corresponding Wikipedia article. However, the subject himself used exactly that term in a quote in one of the sources. Apparently, that is why it was used. That being said, I have replaced the term with the suggested alternative, American host family. I also tried to improve the rest of the sentence.

"Billet family" is the correct term, used by junior ice hockey leagues to describe the families that host players drafted by teams far from home. See articles like this and this from USA Hockey, and this from Sports Illustrated. I have restored the earlier phrasing and specified that the link should go to the "Amateur sports" section of the Billet page. — GhostRiver 20:18, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
