Continuing in the project laid out at WP:VGK, here's another FL candidate. Tables already seemed adequate, though at the direction of PresN from some months ago I added the ongoing 2024–25 season for length reasons; otherwise, I expanded the lead based off other NHL season FLs, and added graphics.

Brief comment by myself to potential reviewers - I will be without access to a laptop/desktop from December 29 to January 1, so I will be limited in what updates I can make to the article during that time. The Kip ^(contribs) 06:34, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image caption isn't a sentence so should not have a full stop
2017-18 NHL season is linked multiple times in the lead
Note a is surely not needed as (unless I am missing something) it just duplicates the earlier key
Note c needs a full stop

Comments by Kline

six times in their first seven completed seasons, First is unnecessary as they haven't finished any other seasons (or seven of them for that matter).
the Golden Knights instead suffered a rash of injuries and poor play, eventually missing the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Is "instead" necessary?
first-round exit against the San Jose Sharks the following season, Something about the link going to the Stanley Cup playoffs from "the following season" seems misleading, perhaps a rewording is required.
Recommend changing the "Season" header to "NHL season".
Notes 1 and 2 in the year-by-year section can probably be converted into actual notes, considering there's already 3 notes in that table.

That's all I got. Kline • talk • contribs 18:23, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kline Fixed everything but the "instead" bit - I figured that's necessary as a contrast to the fact they entered the season as Cup favorites. The Kip ^(contribs) 20:51, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I now see how I've already set up the contrast with "Despite." The Kip ^(contribs) 20:59, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, haven't done one of these in a while.

Images need alt text and should not have fixed size (ie. 300px); replace it with the upright parameter (ie. |upright=1.35 for the lead image and 1.2 for the image of T-Mobile Arena).
The year by year and all-time records tables need column and row scopes, see MOS:DTT; the cells at the top and bottom should be changed from ! Foo to ! scope="col" | Foo or from ! rowspan="2" | Foo to ! scope="colgroup" rowspan="2" | Foo for headers that use rowspan or colspan. The "main" cell for each row, probably either the NHL season or the Golden Knights season, should be changed from | 2017–18 to ! scope="row" | 2017–18.
Likewise, those tables need captions showing what's in the table; they can be added using |+ caption at the top. You can also add the references for those tables to the caption.
Perhaps add a note for why the Knights weren't in a conference during the 2020–21 season.
The empty cells for 2024–25 annoy me; perhaps add something like | colspan="14" | ''Season ongoing''?

I think that is all, please let me know if any of this is confusing. charlotte ^👸♥ 03:49, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

This review is based on this version of the article.

Source review: Pending

Reliable enough for the information being cited
Consistent date formatting
Consistent and proper reference formatting
Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
Spot checks on 15 sources match what they are being cited for

Feedback:

The list would be improved with the usage of the abbreviation template for column headers. I understand the key is there, but it's still a useful thing to add for those who don't want to scroll up.
"All-time series record" in the all-time records table could be explained for those unfamiliar with what a series may be, even if done via note.
I think in the results tab it would be helpful to link to Stars / Jets again. I understand some avoid duplicate links, but I think contextually, it's easier to find the team they're playing against by clicking there instead of scrolling back up to find the first mention of "Jets" or "Stars". I recognize this is a personal preference and would not stand in the way of the list being promoted, but I'm suggesting it because I think it will improve the list.
References mix "nhl.com" and "NHL.com". Personally, I think this should be National Hockey League, since that's the platform they're being posted on and to match references 2, 10, and 12.
Ref 5 – Link to Hockey-Reference.com. Also, when is somebody just going to go ahead and make that article? Daaang...
Ref 8 and 9 – Link to ESPN
Ref 10 – Add author
Ref 10 and 12 – Link to National Hockey League
Ref 11 – Change abc7.com to KABC-TV.
Ref 11 – Add Associated Press as the agency
Ref 15 – Use Sportsnet as the source instead of SportsNet.ca
Ref 15 – Add Associated Press as the agency
Ref 16 – Wikilink USA Today
Ref 19 – Link to The Athletic
Ref 21 – No need to pipe United Press International, use the full name instead of the acronym

That's what I've got for now. Please ping me when the above has been addressed. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:30, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
