I've noticed that most media reports are using vanRiemsdyk. --4.239.168.233 00:33, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

James vanRiemsdyk according to NHL.com. Let's move this article and change stuff.--Serte ^{[ Talk · Contrib ]} 12:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article should be moved to James van Riemsdyk.[1][2] Also, notice how his last name looks on the back of his Phantoms jersey.[3] --scottieISmad (talk) 04:15, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Source right here that says he is 6'3, 200 lbs. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?id=6041&hubname=nhl-flyers Sidthekid87 03:33, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• I think you can expand on his impact as a rookie beyond the team (see [4])
  •  Added — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• He was kind of in the race for the Calder [5], earning 3 votes [6].
  •  Added — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • LOL, imagine coming back from a 3–0 deficit. Couldn't be the Leafs.
    • This is Philly! We get it done, but we never make it easy! — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• I imagine the "kid line" is because of their youth but I think it can be explained a bit. Maybe alongside young forwards Brayden Schenn and Jakub Voráček
  •  Added — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I think you can expand a bit on the trade with Schenn. Per this, he was part of trade rumors during the offseason/throughout the year.
  •  Added — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• WL plus-minus
  •  Done — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• In the fourth paragraph, you WL Kadri and Komarov even though they were WL in the first paragraph
  •  Removed — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• took a puck to the leg from the Colorado Avalanche, this seems awkwardly worded to me. It should say during a game against the Colorado Avalanche or even name the specific player.
  •  Fixed — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Maybe WL to 2020_Stanley_Cup_playoffs#Host_cities to explain the "bubble."
  •  Done — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Please WL List of 2020–21 NHL Three Star Awards for He was named the NHL East Division Star of the Month for January 2021.
  •  Done — GhostRiver 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• The sentence about the "kid line" is kind of a run-on. As well, you should take out which because it doesn't make sense with the sentence.
  •  Fixed How does it look now?
• Can you please add a hyphen in hat trick to bypass the redirect?
  •  Done
• For the Athletic sources that are hidden behind a paywall, please follow Template:Closed access
  •  Done Used "url-access=subscription", as recommended by the template
• Why do you need two different sources (one in the body and one in the chart) for the Hockey East All-Rookie Team? Can you not use the same one?
  •  Fixed
• Can you please change Calder Trophy to Calder Memorial Trophy to bypass the redirect?
  •  Fixed
• Please WL the first mention of The Morning Call in work
  •  Done

HickoryOughtShirt?4 All done! Thanks for taking look at such a large article! — GhostRiver 00:11, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

James van Riemsdyk in 2011

• ... that James van Riemsdyk once scored a goal for the Philadelphia Flyers on a puck that bounced off of his face and into the net? Source: With just over four minutes left in the middle stanza at Madison Square Garden, Travis Konecny fired a shot that deflected off of New York defenseman K'Andre Miller's stick and then struck van Riemsdyk in the face. The puck ended up ricocheting into the net for a goal as the Flyers tied the game at 1–1.
  • ALT1: ... that James van Riemsdyk scored the 20,000th goal in Toronto Maple Leafs history 100 years to the day of the franchise's first ever goal? Source: When James van Riemsdyk scored Dec. 19, 2017, he didn’t know it was the 20,000th goal since that opening game of the Toronto Arenas.

• Sorry, but I've never seen sentences starting with a lower case letter before, surely it should be "Van Riemsdyk" at the start of a sentence, not "van Riemsdyk"? Gatoclass (talk) 11:42, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Seems like some people have expressed this preference, but I can't find it in policy, only in talk pages like Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters/Archive_20#Surnames beginning with non-capitalized letters. This probably should be capitalized if the lead section is any indication. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:44, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Not sure it's covered by MOS but "van" here is a tussenvoegsel and should be capitalised if no other name precedes it (James van Reimsdyk, Mr J van Reimsdyk, but Van Reimsdyk or Mr Van Reimsdyk, for example). It shouldn't appear in lower case at the start of a sentence. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 22:57, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Full review needed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:44, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article is new enough (GA promoted on October 30), definitely long enough, neutrally written, and well sourced. No issues detected by Earwig. Both hooks are interesting and verified to given sources which are cited in the article. For DYK purposes, consider duplicating ref #93 at the end of the hook sentence (like "... deflected off of his face into the net.^[93]" Strong preference for the first hook (puck bouncing off his face). QPQ done. Image is compatibly licensed and clear at 100px, but it is not used in the article, which is required. DanCherek (talk) 04:42, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • DanCherek I have added the reference accordingly and have moved the images around so that the one in the DYK is the header image and the one that was in the infobox is in the body. I have also capitalized "Van" any time it starts a sentence, even though I think that policy is silly because it's not actually his name. — GhostRiver 17:17, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks, this is good to go! DanCherek (talk) 19:41, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
