List of Olympic medalists in luge

 * Nominator(s): Parutakupiu (talk) 22:54, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Yep, another list of Olympic medalists. This time, I worked on this in the past days in a sandbox before moving the new enlarged content to the mainspace page. Once again, I added a considerably large lead section with sourced citations, and lots of free-licensed and relevant images along the medalist tables, as well as the usual statistics section. This time, however, I decided not to included the "Medals per year" section because I now think that it's something that belongs to the parent article "Sport at the Season Olympics". So, that's it. Please, review all the way! Thanks. Parutakupiu (talk) 22:54, 2 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. Haven't looked very closely but I couldn't find any big problems. Good work. Felipe Menegaz 13:53, 3 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Support Another great list. Reywas92 Talk 17:51, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * How many people have won a medal? Reywas92 Talk 14:54, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have one problem: how do I count medalists in the doubles event? Officially, it's the team that wins the medal (even though each member is awarded one), but in some occasions one luger has won a doubles medal more than one time... but with different partners. Do I consider a team as a unit and if there's a change in the composition I count it as a different team? Parutakupiu (talk) 15:46, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * How many people can say they won a luge medal? Count two people for the doubles, but don't count people again for a second medal. Reywas92 Talk 17:20, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Parutakupiu (talk) 17:40, 3 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Support very good list. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "are the other pairs to have won the doubles event for two times". Don't think "for" is needed here.
 * Rephrased that portion.
 * "introduced timing equipments that measured...". Is plural for "equipments" correct here?
 * Don't know. Anyway, I changed here and after.
 * What makes http://sports123.com/lug/mwc-s.html a reliable source?  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 20:12, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Replaced it with official document from international federation. Parutakupiu (talk) 21:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Support – Nice work.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:05, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment Is it really necessary to have the "event" column in the medal leaders table? The reason it's present in some lists (ie. List of Olympic medalists in freestyle skiing) is because athletes usually compete in just one event, all three of which are very different. In this case, men can compete in two events, so does noting it really matter, since it doesn't differentiate between which medals were earned in which event? Otherwise, this is a fantastic list, and the lead is great. -- Scorpion 0422  00:10, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it doesn't give all the information one would like, such as for example which medals were won in each event, but at least you know that X won all his/her medals in a single event, while Y collected medals in different events... I don't know. I can remove that column if you really think it doesn't add any value to the table. Parutakupiu (talk) 00:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
