Done up in the style of the previous Olympic ice hockey featured lists (Poland, Canada, Switzerland, United States). My biggest concern is that there aren't many free images to use for the article, and few that do exist are not really appropriate (either not great quality or not going to add much). Any comments are appreciated, and will address them as soon as possible. Kaiser matias (talk) 20:14, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • ", first in 1956 and the last in 1988." => ", the first in 1956 and the last in 1988."
  • "In protest of this policy" => "In protest at this policy"
  • "Canada withdrew from the 1972 and 1976 Olympics in protest." - you said "in protest" at the start of the sentence, you don't need to say it again at the end
  • "When the Soviet Union dissolved it was replaced in subsequent tournaments it was succeeded by the Unified Team (1992), the Russia (since 1994)" - this is really mangled. It should probably be "When the Soviet Union dissolved it was replaced at subsequent tournaments by the Unified Team (1992) and Russia (since 1994)"
  • "Goaltender Vladislav Tretiak played in 4 tournaments" => four tournaments
  • "across 3 Olympics" => "across three Olympics"
  • In note a, Latvia is spelt incorrectly
  • In notes a and b I think you need a bit more explanation of "builder", as it sounds like they let construction workers into the Hall of Fame
  • Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:39, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, think I've addressed everything here. Kaiser matias (talk) 15:25, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • All images are missing alt text.
  • "In protest at this policy Canada..." Add a comma after "policy".
  • "Throughout its existence the Soviet Union..." Add a comma after "existence".
  • "When the Soviet Union dissolved it was replaced..." Add a comma after "dissolved".
  • Drop the comma after "Unified Team (1992),"
  • "Medals" columns (both tables): The same sort key has been applied to gold, silver, and bronze medals such that they don't sort at all. List of Olympic men's ice hockey players for Canada, for example, has golds with a whole number of 3, silver with 2, and bronze with 1.
  • Everything else looks good. NatureBoyMD (talk) 19:37, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, got everything here. Kaiser matias (talk) 00:50, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from zmbro
  • The image of Grigory Mkrtychan doesn't have a caption
  • The note columns in the tables don't need to be sortable

That's all I've got. Comparing this one to your other similar FLs, very good job and well done! :-) – zmbro (talk) 16:25, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking it over, fixed those issues. Kaiser matias (talk) 17:19, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I think the notes should be sort able: it allows the ability to see who was captain, inducted into the different halls of fame, and so on, in an easy fashion. Thoughts? Kaiser matias (talk) 18:26, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your other FLs of the same type have them sortable and that makes sense so yep all good for me. Happy to support :-) – zmbro (talk) 18:59, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
