Triple Gold Club

Nominator(s): Scorpion ⁰⁴²²

Oh boy, my first nom with this fancy new preload template. Anyway, sourced, WikiCup entry, will address concerns, etc. For those who may think the current table is too cluttered, there is a sample version that lists only the first year the player won that accomplishment here. Enjoy. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 16:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly explain what the bold is for in the key, I realised but it wasn't immediately obvious to me.
- I took a shot at it but the sentence is a tad awkward.
"medals to the players who had won the three championships" is anything known about these medals, is there a picture (I'm guessing not, but thought I might as well ask)
- No, after the initial press release, the IIHF hasn't mentioned them since. I'm actually suprised at how little I was able to find about that.
"and award medals to" this isn't actually cited in either ref. Is there a cite for it?
- Hmm, you're right. In fact, none of the IIHF sources specifically say medals either. Removed that bit for now.
I'm never sure about this one: "22 members of the Triple Gold Club—nine Swedes, six Russians, five Canadians, and two Czechs" don't the "22 members" and "nine Swedes" etc. come under comparable quantities, and therefore it should be twenty-two?
- Neither am I. Switched to twenty-two for now.
"Swedes Niklas Kronwall, Mikael Samuelsson and Henrik Zetterberg needed the least to join the club, measuring from the time of their first victory of one of the three championships" It seems odd to say "the least" and not immediately follow it with (the least) what, can this be reworded or the word "time" added.
- I blame Maxim for that one. He copyedited that bit. I tried rephrasing it.
- Thanks a lot for taking a look. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 22:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise I am impressed. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 21:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, my issues have been resolved, I won't support just yet because this nomination has only been open a short time and I'd prefer to wait to see if any other reviewers find a cause to object. Congrats for your excellent work. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 23:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, No major issues have been raised in the other reviews. I can now confidently support this nom. Well done. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:30, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Truco (talk · contribs) - Excellent list overall.

Lead

The club has been described as a "a modern fraternity" because prior to 1977 NHL players—considered professional—were not allowed to play in the world championships or Olympics, which were intended for amateur players. - comma after 1997
- Done.
Swedes Niklas Kronwall, Mikael Samuelsson and Henrik Zetterberg needed the least to join the club, measuring from the time of their first victory of one of the three championships, winning the Olympics and World Championships in 2006 and the Stanley Cup in 2008 (as members of the Detroit Red Wings). - IDK, IMO its not really clear as to what the least is referring to.
- See above, done.

Members

What does the bold represent?
- See above, done.

References

Ref #1 is missing a publisher.
I see it redundant to link all the other publishers and not the IIHF, thats from my view point.--TRUCO ⁵⁰³ 21:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the IIHF is already linked in the article, so I figured it would be redundant to link to it several more times in the refs section. I linked the first use of it in refs, is that better?
  - Yep =)--TRUCO ⁵⁰³ 01:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks a lot for taking a look. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 22:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - problems resolved to meet WP:WIAFL.--TRUCO ⁵⁰³ 01:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support as well presented, written and actually interestingly informative.Yobmod (talk) 15:32, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support: I made some minor changes, but otherwise looks good! – Nurmsook! ^talk... 16:35, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"because prior to 1977,"-->because before 1977, (one of my pet peeves, before is much simpler and more concise)
- Fixed.
"very few Europeans played" The intensifier "very" is not usually necessary. Readers won't distinguish much between few and very few. If you want, you can put "rare".
- Removed.
The blue shading should only be present in the first column; it is only used to indicate players who were inducees. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:26, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I prefer to have full row colouring rather than specific cells. I think it looks a lot better.
  - No problem. I can also see that the shading the achievements lends credence to the fact that those achievments led the player to be inducted into the hall of fame. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 16:06, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
