Talk:List of Olympic medalists in ice hockey

?

How was it possible to promote this list to featured status? A huge number of names is still misspelt. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 01:46, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I assume you are referring to the Russian, Czech and Swedish names. I simply followed the spelling used by their wikipedia articles. There is a convention for Russian names [1] that says "Some Russian names have a common English spelling. For others, use Wikipedia's modified BGN/PCGN romanization" -- Scorpion⁰⁴²²

This is not a question of the convention. These names are OK. The red links and since one user created a lot of articles to turn these reds into blues also a number of links are very poorly spelt... But it is so easy to follow the ref given in the "External links" to correct them all. I am surprised that this was not necessary before promoting this list? The main reason for this list are the names? And when the names are wrong the list can not be featured? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 08:34, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I think you're making a bigger issue of this than it is. The redlinks follow wikipedia name spelling standards, just like the blue links. By the way, some of these names were likely changed in the ongoing WP:HOCKEY diacritics war. Users regularily go through pages and remove all diacritics, and that's likely what has happened here. -- ScorpionO'422 22:05, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

? This list needs an expert! This list became a featured list without all names were checked! Why is it impossible to link e.g. Stanislav Konopásek with the correct spelling? There is and was no edit war, the title of "Stanislav Konopásek" is unchanged since the page have been created... And there are not "a handful" wrong but dozens. Again, follow the refs and you will find all the correct names. And again: How was it possible to promote this poor list to featured status? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 00:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

"poor list"? European names are often inconsistant here on wikipedia and vary from article to article. Admittedly, I should have checked things over before I nominated it, but I don't think the issue of some missing diacritics is really that major. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:14, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Diacritics are fully part of a name and affects the pronounciation and the meaning... so they ARE that major. A name missing diacritics is a wrong name. --necronudist (talk) 12:32, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Four-medal winners

This is my first post here. Be gentle.

The current text reads:

"Three male athletes have won four medals: Vladislav Tretiak (three gold, one silver), Igor Kravchuk (two gold, one silver, one bronze) and Jiří Holík (two silver, two bronze)."

Three Finns won their fourth medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver: Sako Koivu, Ville Peltonen and Jere Lehtinen. They should now be added to the four-medal list. All won in 1994, 1998, 2006 and 2010 (one silver, three bronze). The fact that each has won four medals can be checked from the list of medalists on the page at issue.

Thanks for your attention.

• Agreed they should be added--Mo Rock...Monstrous (talk) 16:27, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

1972 Team USA

I think there is an error on the roster, Tim Regan (ice hockey) does not appear on the roster section on Ice hockey at the 1972 Winter Olympics, nor does he appear on the roster on the List of United States national ice hockey team rosters, he is not in either of the two references for that page here and here. The only reason I have not removed him yet is because this is a Featured Article, however I have one more reference that I can check and if I can't verify he is on the team through that last one I will delete him, unless some one can show me a reference that says he was there.

I looked into it and He was part of the "team" but not on the declared roster. He left the team to return to Boston University for the NCAA playoffs. However he was still given a Silver Medal.--Mo Rock...Monstrous (talk) 23:42, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
