List of IIHF World Championship medalists
The previous FLC was withdrawn because of an editwar on the article; it was fully-protected a bit later, so it then utterly failed criterion 7. I've submitted once again for consideration.  Maxim (talk)  21:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Previous FLC
 * Co-Nom I'd also like to add for all reviewers that the edit war that led to the protection of the article appears to be over. The article has been stable for several weeks now and passes criterion 7. -- Scorpion0422 21:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments from
 * No need to capitalise "Gold Medal" in the caption, and no need for a period as it appears to be a sentence fragment, and I suspect en route to be two words.
 * Done.
 * "The Ice Hockey World Championships is..." followed by "They were preceded ..." inconsistent.
 * Done.
 * "1976 world championships" shouldn't the WC be capitalised? There seems to be more than one of these - I'd be looking to be consistent.
 * Done.
 * " nor during the Olympic years 1980, 1984 and 1988." why not?
 * This was brought up during the previous FLC, and my answer is the same, I'm not sure why. I've looked through several sources trying to find an answer, but with no luck. It was probably for the same reason why many other sport world championships don't hold events during Olympic years - they consider the Olympics an unofficial extension.
 * Sorting by Gold gives me Canada (1), Canada (10), Canada (11)... Canada (19), Canada (2), Canada (20)... I suggest this should be 1, 2, 3 etc. You may need to force the sort. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:40, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Done and done. Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion0422 16:08, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I made this change simply because most other sport-related lists do it in this way. Besides that, I Support. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 15:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment I feel like the title shouldn't use an abbreviation. If I'm not mistaken, most sports articles use the full-name of the sports league it applies to. Ie National Basketball Association rather than NBA. I believe the same applies here for International Ice Hockey Federation, so List of International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship medalists. Or for a smaller option, perhaps List of Ice Hockey World Championship medalists, which goes off the title of the event rather than the league. I'm just wary of using an abbreviation of the title.
