Image:WC 2008.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

From Canada V Latvia TSN coverage game May 4 2008...
Please avoid placing speculative information. Do not place already known teams of Preliminary round, just because they are qualified, into Standings table of Qualification round, until these standings become known (Standings means places to stand in, determined by rank - otherwise it is NOT initial Standings for Qualification round), to avoid misleading. Groups E and F do not exist, neither ordering among the teams already qualified. Svmich ( talk) 16:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad you decided to discuss it after changing it the second time at least. Lejman ( talk) 19:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be best to remove the Standings & Results headers?
It is pretty obvious that the table shows the standings, and the game summaries show the results.
It will make it a whole lot easier to see which paragraph have been edited.
It will also shrink the page size.

Just as a for the record, of why Canada cannot be left out.
Canada currently sits at 3-0-0-0 for 9. If Latvia were to tie them at 9, then Canada holds the tiebreaker (head to head). If Germany were to tie them at 9, they would ensure that the United States could not pass Canada and that Latvia could not tie Canada. Canada would be guaranteed to finish ahead of both the United States and Latvia. Of course, if Germany doesn't get to 9, then Canada would finish ahead of both them and Latvia. Wjmorris3 ( talk) 00:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
United States is now safe at 6 points, PROVIDING that Latvia loses to Finland tomorrow. If they were to lose out and stay at 6, then either Germany or Latvia could tie them at 6 (but not both.) Regardless, the United States wins the tiebreaker against either of the tied teams. Wjmorris3 ( talk) 01:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Possible endings in group E, based on how many points Switzerland acquire against Russia tomorrow:
1. Russia 2. Czech Republic 3. Sweden 4. Switzerland
1. Russia 2. Switzerland 3. Sweden 4. Czech Republic
1. Switzerland 2. Russia 3. Sweden 4. Czech Republic
No matter what, Sweden finishes third... any team can meet any team in the quarter final in that group! Lejman ( talk) 01:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
2008 IIHF World Championships doesn't exist, I think it should as a redirect here. And if any other year is missing such, they should be created... 70.51.10.58 ( talk) 08:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Russia is the only legal successor to the Soviet Union (according to International Law). That's de jure. De facto history of Russia includes the time of USSR, no matter what aspect you consider (aviation and space history, for instance). But even more, Russia clearly and absolutely dominated USSR in ice hockey (players, coaching, domestic championships etc.) And IIHF may split the total and list USSR and Russia achievements separately just to provide more details, no problem. But when considering hockey history of Russia, it is common and correct to consider USSR history. And finally: numbers placed in a context are not just numbers — they have their meaning. And pointing that Russia is a newborn hockey power is clearly misleading. Svmich ( talk) 09:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
When it comes to Olympic Games (in general), it is right to have USSR and Russia listed separately, because athletes of other Soviet republic contributed a significant number of medals and titles. In the case of ice hockey, however, USSR and Russia were practically identical and the contribution of other union republics was negligible. That's why it would be an unjustified distortion to except the Soviet era from the history of Russian hockey. Voyevoda ( talk) 14:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
There is a Wikipedia consensus on that medals won in olympic games for USSR and Russia should be listed separately: Wikipedia:WikiProject Olympics/Olympic conventions. And medals won by East Germany does not count for Germany. There is really no difference between Ice Hockey World Championships and Olympic Games regarding this matter. In fact, these are coupled, since many World Championships and Olympic games have been combined for Ice Hockey. -- Kildor ( talk) 21:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
