2011 IIHF World Championship rosters

Featured list candidates/2011 IIHF World Championship rosters/archive1

Nominator(s): Salavat (talk) 07:17, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Been awhile since my last nomination, hope anything hasn't drastically changed. Anyway this list follows the same format as the 2010 IIHF World Championship rosters and is basically the same as the 2009, 2008 and 2007 lists all of which are also featured.

"Run by the International Ice Hockey Federation..." could probably use a better word than run perhaps organised? or something similar?
- Changed "run" to "organised". Salavat (talk) 13:20, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Finland won the championship for the second time after defeating Sweden men's national ice hockey team 6–1 in the final." after is redundant, and no need to use men's national hockey team, already established the context just pipe the link to Sweden.
- Removed and piped. Salavat (talk) 13:24, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We have championship and tournament used in close proximity be consistent use one term.
- Changed all of the championship's to tournament's. Salavat (talk) 13:29, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You have 16 and fifteen, I would be consistent in using one method, as you have 16 in digits in the first sentence I would continue this throughout the article.
- Changed the fifteen and twenty to 15 and 20. Salavat (talk)
Could provide a link to positions on first usage in lead
- Linked. Salavat (talk) 13:36, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Tables do not meet the requirements of MOS:DTT, you need to add col and rowscopes to the tables.
- Added colscopes to all of the team tables. I dont think rowscope is needed anywhere unless I need to add it to the "Legends" table? Salavat (talk) 14:00, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You need to add rowscopes, the primary reason for using is for people using screen readers. Without them they are unable to read the table correctly. I would add them to the players rows. NapHit (talk) 16:49, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

rowscopes added. Salavat (talk) 12:27, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Images could do with alt text
- Alt text added. Salavat (talk) 14:39, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"A minimum of 15 skaters and two goaltenders and a maximum of 20 skaters and three goaltenders had to be selected. A country that had selected fewer than the maximum allowed were required to choose the remaining players prior to the start of the tournament...." the first "selection" was prior to the tournament so it's a little bit odd to then say the "remaining players" were selected "prior to the start"... Are there three selection points?
- If I have understood the reference properly a team has to select a minimum of 15 players + 2 goalies before the tournament. After the start of the tournament teams can add additional players to the roster up to the maximum of 25. As a result I have removed that middle sentence, which wrongly said the team had to add to the maximum prior to the start of the tournament. Salavat (talk) 14:26, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"switch which national team they play for" -> "change which national team they represent"?
- Changed. Salavat (talk) 14:14, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why skaters don't have the games W or L in their stats?
- W & L isnt a statistic for skaters. It is used for goaltenders to record the games they win or lose when they are played. Goaltenders can be dressed for a game but they dont always get on the ice. Salavat (talk) 12:41, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't "Club" sort by e.g. KAC, Red Bull Salzburg etc, since EC is simply like put FC in front of a football team?
- Should be all sorting properly now without the club parts. Salavat (talk) 14:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Our article has Juergen Penker with an e.
- Fixed. Salavat (talk) 14:11, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Similarly, Artyom has an article at Artem Demkov and Alexander an article at Aleksandr Kulakov.
- Fixed both. Salavat (talk) 14:13, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is David Henderson really French? That's not a very French-sounding name...
- Born in Canada but became a french citizen, playing for the french national team in 1981. Salavat (talk) 12:32, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Our Färjestad BK article has no s.
- S's removed. Salavat (talk) 12:34, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Evgeni Nabokov started fpur games, winning two." spot the typo.
- Spotted and fixed. Salavat (talk) 12:35, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Alexei has his article at Alexei Emelin without the Y...
- Fixed. Salavat (talk) 12:41, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

~~"After the start of the tournament, each team was allowed to additional players to their roster." What were they allowed to do? Add players?~~
- Fixed. Salavat (talk) 13:35, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Photo caption: "Georgis Pujacs lead the Latvian team in penalties with 33 PIM." "lead" → "led"?~~
- Fixed. Salavat (talk) 13:35, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Another caption: "Miroslav Satan played six games, recording three goals and two". Word missing at the end; I assume it's assists, based on earlier captions.~~ Giants2008 (Talk) 00:26, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. Thanks for the comments so far guys. Salavat (talk) 13:35, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question – Is there a reason the save percentage is in the XX.XX format as opposed to the .XXX format?

The article page linked to states that it is listed in the decimal first format and the 2010, 2009, 2008, and 2007 pages, all featured lists, have the .XXX format as well.--Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 03:53, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No reason. I have changed it to the more commonly used format (.XXX). Salavat (talk) 03:10, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, wasn't sure if there was something I was missing. Thanks.--Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 17:17, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
