List of Olympic women's ice hockey players for the United States

 * Nominator(s): Anthony (talk) 17:45, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm nominating this list because it is comprehensive, fully sourced, and meets all the FLC criteria. Furthermore, it is based off the similar List of Olympic women's ice hockey players for Canada, which is a current FL. Anthony (talk) 17:45, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

That's all from me, looks a pretty good list on the whole. Harrias (talk) 09:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Looks good, I'll have a fiddle at getting those medals to sort better for you too. Harrias (talk) 22:04, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Support. My concerns have been addressed.—NMajdan •talk 20:46, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Why are goaltenders and skaters separated? Why can't you just include a position column? It would be nice to be able to sort by years-of-participation or number of medals among all athletes, and not just those two groups.
 * As you are primarily a football editor (according to your page), I will say that in hockey, goalies and skaters are always separated on account of the different stats required for each. Sortability would be a mess if you combined wins and goals-against average with assists and penalty minutes.  Every hockey list separates the two; to ask otherwise would be insanity. Anthony (talk) 19:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't know if it would be insane, per se. I do see your point, however, I still think it would be nice if I was able to sort everything together. This will not prevent my support, but I will leave this comment un-capped in case someone else has something to add.—NMajdan •talk
 * I agree with Anthony, goaltenders have a whole different set of relevant stats. Sorting them together would make no sense. Harrias (talk) 21:23, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I must say, I'm quite happy to see this list. Ever since I completed the lists for Canada, I've been hoping that other editors would start creating similar lists for other nations. Just a few quick comments, are two lead images really necessary? Perhaps you should use the best one (Image:USAWomen2010WinterOlympics.jpg). Also, would it be possible to add a minutes column for the goalies (I recently added one for the Canadian list). I think it's beneficial because GAA is calculated using minutes played and goals against, so it would be nice to have both pieces of the puzzle there. -- Scorpion 0422  21:58, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Removed image, and added minutes column. Anthony (talk) 22:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support My concerns have been resolved. -- Scorpion 0422  02:39, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Neutral. Did not (yet) find the time to review this extensively enough to support.  Good raise  00:30, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Would be nice to see it mentioned in the lead the player who was inducted into the two halls of fame.
 * Fixed. Anthony (talk) 05:04, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The bold in the reference quotes strikes me as unneeded. Just having them there should be sufficient to point out the intended information.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed. I've seen it in a number of other articles, just to highlight the information, but I removed it anyway. Anthony (talk) 05:04, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support – Meets FL standards.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 19:04, 2 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment Check the toolbox; there is a dead link. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:45, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know where the toolbox is, but I found a dead link and repaired it. Hope that helps. Anthony (talk) 14:01, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. For future reference, the toolbox is at the top right corner of this page. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:11, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
