My second Canadian Olympic player list, modeled after List of Olympic men's ice hockey players for Canada. This one is different because it contains columns for each Olympic year. I figured this would be useful because there are so few teams and because many have participated in multiple tournaments, the sort feature didn't work properly before. I realize that it may be a little confiusing because the years column doesn't have an "Olympics" header, but I tried to add one and I couldnt' figure out a way to do it without killing the sortability. Just in case someone asks, I don't think this system could be used in the men's list because there is an extra 70 years of history (thus making it far too wide) and only a handful have played on multiple teams. Also, I was considering adding a small unfancy list of the other potential players for the 2010 team. Does anyone think I should? Anyway, all comments are welcome. Enjoy. -- Scorpion0422 15:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand the formatting of ref 5 (Podnieks & Szemberg 2008 as well as a link); are that two separate refs? Also, ampersands shouldn't be used.Dabomb87 (talk) 23:00, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]- It's a book called the top 100 IIHF stories. However, all 100 stories have been posted at the IIHF website. So it credits the author, then links to the online page. That system is used because a similar page, Ice hockey at the Olympic Games, cites that book about 40 times and it was very unweildy having to repeat the same stuff (publisher, date, etc.) over and over again, so I just switched to the format used for books.
- Thanks once again for taking a look. -- Scorpion0422 00:53, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Was a very good list to begin with and surely meets the FL standards now. The only thing I would recommend for the future is more photos to the right of the tables if they become avaliable; more than enough room exists for them. That doesn't affect the current status of the page, however. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There are some more free ones on Flickr, but they aren't particularily good. (example) -- Scorpion0422 15:06, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose—Not well-written; glitches.
- MOS prefers numbers above ten, doesn't it? No big deal, tho. There are other examples ... and then "14" etc.
- I was told that you should try to be consistant with numbers when they are in one sentence. So either have 6 and 17 or six and seventeen.
- Out-of-order statements: "Canada has sent a team to all three tournaments. Those teams have consisted of five goaltenders and thirty-two skaters, all of whom have won Olympic medals." The goal-keepers and skaters needs to be a separate, prior statement, yes? Join up the three tournaments and medals bits?
- Done.
- "previously", like "currently" so often, is redundant.
- "Before 1998, women's hockey had been dominated by Canada's national team. Canadian teams had won every World Championship up to that point". Isn't just "Until 1998," good enough, without the last four words? Look throughout for redundant wording, and try these exercises in distributed sessions.
- Fixed.
- "and is tied with the United States for the most overall medals"—The "is" looks funny to me. What, right now? Last year? When? WP doesn't like time-phrases that immediately become obsolete. There's another "is" a few seconds further on. See MoS on this.
- Fixed the first statement.
And other things. Please find an unfamiliar word-nerd to copy-edit. Lots of red links; I guess this means your next task is to write stubs and see them through to something better? Tony (talk) 06:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll try to find a copyeditor. Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion0422 16:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
