The legend for this photo says that that the Mercuries were the last Canadian team to win a gold medal in the 20th Century.
That might be true of the Olympics but this is the World Championships page and Canada won the Worlds in 1994 in Italy, and again in 1997 in Finland.
Not sure this pic as well as the Olympic anecdote, which clearly reflect a North American perspective on the legacy of the World Championships, deserve such emphasis in the context of this page.
Canada would have to wait for 50 years for its next Olympic gold but as far as World Championships are concerned, they would not have to wait that long. They would win it again in 55, 58, 59 and 61 when a World Championship drought of its own started, lasting until 1994.
I think another jersey picture could be used here.
While Russia is the core state of the former USSR, I dont think Cezch Republic should be called the core state of Czechoslovakia as it is the case in the article.

Are missing, did they (olympics) count as world championships?
I moved the page because the IIHF refers to the championships in the plural, which is only reasonable. Trontonian
The IIHF only lists championships starting at 1920. Should the pre-1920 championships be listed here? Abelsson
As some people believe (see List of international ice hockey competitions featuring NHL players) several other tournaments in the past were not less important than these ones, may be it'd be better to rename this page to official name of these tournaments: IIHF World Championships?

I noticed Ajshm changed my latest edit when I put a sup1 next to every year the Olympics also counted as the Worlds. I intentionally put it next to the year so you could easily see which winners were also Olympic winners. Having it in the venue column where it already says "(Olympic)" doesn't make much sense to me. I suggest changing it back, but I don't want to do it if Ajshm is just going to change it again. So, what do others think? -- Sarke 00:06, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
the medals of Czechoslovakia are usually added to Czech republic (because most of the players of Czechoslovakia were from Czech part of the country). Or could be added Czech republic + Czechoslovakia and Slovakia + Czechoslovakia. The reason is that Czechoslovak hockey is much more succesful than Sweden´s and it should be seen from the chart.

Dear author, the problem of your article is that you`re distinguishing in the medal tables between the USSR and Russia. This leads to a deformation of the medal tables - Russia seems to be as succesful as f.e. the UK. BUT: 1) The owherwhelming majority of the players of the USSR-Team was Russian. 2) Russia is the official succecor state of the USSR, in each aspect! I would suggest you to melt the USSR and Russia succeses in the medal table but with a special comment. This would increase the objectivity and neutrality of this article. Or ist this article written by a Canadian? :-)
Actually I respect your point of view and don´t want to change your text, cause you are not d`accord. But the fact, that Russia is the formal succecor of the USSR (in ALL international conventions) underlines, that your splitting the statistic in Russia and USSR is very problematic. For somebody, who does not know a lot about icehockey it seems like, as if we, Russians, can´t play icehockey. By the way, congratulations to your great victory in the u20 world championship! Konstantin
There seems to be some controversy about the medal table I added a while back. Here are a few points I'd like to make:
- Separate countries should have separate counts (e.g. USSR/Russia, Czech Rep./Czechoslovakia, Germany/West Germany) because combining them would skew the results. If we start combining the USSR and Russian totals then we need to consider doing the same for the Czech Rep. and Slovakia, etc. Combining the medal totals would be just as, if not more, misleading because the USSR and Russia have had vastly different success for example. We'd be making Russia (as an independent country) look better than it actually is. The fact is that Russia has only won this many medals, stating otherwise would be misleading. It also wouldn't be fair to the other countries involved because Russia or the Czech Rep. for example would be taking sole credit for something that they didn't win on their own.
Leaving the results separate will allow people to make their own minds up about how they want to view it. I will however add a few notes about the Russia/USSR totals and other similar situations to try to minimise any controversy.
- Sorting. The two ways that make sense to me is to sort either by total medals or by gold medals, then silver, then bronze. Since gold > silver I am in favour of sorting it by gold medals first (this is usually how Olympic medals are sorted too). An example of this would that Sweden would be ranked second ahead of the USSR if it was sorted by totals, it is clear that the USSRs 22 gold medals show them as more successful than Sweden (even though I'm Swedish I favour this). Another example is the Czech Republic compared to the US.
- I am in favour of adding the number of tournaments participated in (as previously mentioned) so it's easier to see each countries success, and I will do that now.

First, entries "USSR+Russia", "Czechoslovakia+Czech Republic" are confusing and irrelevant IMHO (it's a simple arithmetics to get those numbers). Second, USSR had 15 republics, which are now separate states, not only Russia, therefore writing "USSR+Russia" is IMHO unfair to other former Soviet Republics. Cmapm 18:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
I believe, that edits by 88.154.218.148, which introduced those confusing entries, were vandalism, because, e.g. for 1976 Czechoslovakia was "moved" to the second place and USSR - to the first, which is wrong. The same user seems to have vandalised other pages, including Ice hockey at the Winter Olympics, where he also introduced similar factual errors and confusing table format. Cmapm 02:15, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
To response to the USSR+Russia being unfair - there were almost all Russians on the Soviet team throught its history.
Hasnt IIHF come out with some statement, as i think FIFA have about countries as Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Soviet for their medals there. As for example, "FIFA considers the Serbia national team the direct descendant of the Serbia and Montenegro and Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia national teams." How wrong or right some may think it is. Serbia and Yugoslavia go together there, and if IIHF have made such statements, i think it should be changed here.
Well, the official IIHF site says that the Russian Team has been a member since April 1, 1952 and Czech Team since November 15, 1908, so I'd say in both cases they should be considered direct successors of the Soviet and Czechoslovakian teams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.223.63.174 ( talk) 22:45, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
You have argued about "USSR+Russia" and "Czechoslovakia+Czech Republic" entries in medal tables, but the one that irritates me is listing West Germany separately from Germany. Why? The country known as "West Germany" is officially Federal Republic of Germany which was founded in 1949 and is still in excistence. The "West German" medals from 1953 and 1976 olympics should be added with German ones. East Germany should stay in it's own column because that country and the East German hockey federation membership in IIHF ceased to exist in 1990. They didn't get any medals though.
Of course Germany only has medals from pre-WWII championships besides that of 1953, but as long as some of you are stating that it's "unfair to some nationalities to unite/separate statistics", the thing is that these are all Germans.
I like to organize my statistics thinking that while these international tournaments are dubbed as "competitions between nations" the goverment teams aren't playing, the ice hockey association teams do. So when Germany is on the ice, it's the team appointed by Deutcher Eishockey-Bund (which was established in 1963 and took the place of its predecessor in the IIHF). There was no change in 1990, the DEB is still a member and sending German teams to competitions. And when the IIHF announces that Ice Hockey Federation of Russia is taking the place of Soviet federation in world championships I dub in my statistics the Russians as Soviets "heirs" and add those up. There are good points against at the Russian case, but the German one is clear: Germany 1909-present and DDR 1949(whenever the hockey federation joined)-1990.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilder ( talk • contribs)

I think that we should include a joint statistics for Soviet Union/Russia.
That is what I have done: I have created joint record in the table for Russia/Soviet Union, as well as each team separately, one for Russia and one for Soviet Union.
I believe this should have been done before, otherwise it seems like the team who had won 22 Ice Hockey World Championships is being unfairly hidden from the readers.
The difference between Russia and Soviet Union is clearly visible by the changes I have made, however those changes also show the following:
PLEASE NOTE:
I've provided the source (International Ice Hockey Federation. Retrieved on 2009-03-08.) for the numbers I’ve used.
I also believe that this should be done for Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia. We should recognize historical achievements of the Czechoslovakian team , but we should clearly show that the Czech Republic is a new team which once was a core of Czechoslovakian team.
Andreyx109 ( talk) 17:54, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Not this again. See this discussion for the reasoning. The table is just meant to be a quick summary of current members, which is why no previous members are included (a list of previously competing teams could be added, but I don't know what the point is, since there is a long and comprehensive list of champions). -- Scorpion 0422 19:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
We should include Soviet Union/Russia in the list as this article shows the winners of the IIHF World Championship medalists since 1908 to present. If you want to show the recent winners only, then this table should be removed and only the most recent champion must be shown.
Russia is is recognized by IIHF as successor of Soviet Union (explained above and below). If you have any proof that it is otherwise, then we can discuses it further.
The discussion you are referring to and arguments provided there are nothing more than original research. I don't know whether its yours research or not, it does not considered to be a reliable source.
We need to have a reliable source to proof that Russia is not a successor of Soviet Union, the only reliable source I see available is IIHF, which puts the day Russia joind IIHF as the date Soviet Union joined.

Well, thats one of the ways we can do it. Andreyx109 ( talk) 04:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
I was invited to comment here by Andreyx109, though I'm not sure why. However, the matter is fairly clear in my opinion. True, Russia is the largest part of what was previously called the USSR. However, the USSR also included many other now-sovereign states, e.g. Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, etc. So placing the achievements of the USSR together with Russia would be misleading, since you could just as easily argue for grouping USSR with any other of the former Soviet states. The same goes for Czechoslovakia. Their achievements could just as well be grouped with those of present-day Slovakia. So I strongly argue against this sort of move. The case with fusioned states are different - there's little problem, IMO, with grouping East and West Germany together with present-day Germany for statistical purposes, as long as a footnote states how many of the medals were won as East Germany, West Germany, and post-1990 unified Germany. - Lilac Soul ( Talk • Contribs) 08:25, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Okay, what is your issue with the neutrality of the page? I admit it does have more stories about Canada than, say, Sweden or Finland (because I used a lot of Canadian sources), but I don't think it is biased in any way and I think it's reasonably neutral. The only thing you have cited is that we don't say "Russia has won 24 championships!!!!" in big bold letters. We are simply following wikipedia standards where the totals of different nations are recognized differently (this is done with all of the Olympics pages, and it's a tradition we follow here). It's not like the Soviet Union's accomplishments are hidden in any way and it does now say that Russia joined as the Soviet Union.
The table was simply meant to summarize the nations that currently compete at the World Championships. I felt it was missing something, and decided to add the medal totals for all nations. Following wikipedia's standard, I only listed Russia and the championships that they won since the Soviet Union dissolved (just like what was done for the Czechs). The Soviet's medal accomplishments are mentioned in the body (and here), so it seemed unnecessary to add them in seperate table table. The article itself does acknowledge that fact that Russia is recognized as the successor, so I decided it also wasn't necessary in the table. I think your neutrality complaint is not valid, and is clearly just a strong arm tactic. -- Scorpion 0422 00:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Okay, my response:
I'm going to throw a hypothetical out there. Lets say the federation that is Canada split up, Quebec separated, and Ontario and the West stayed together but the atlantic provinces left as well. Ont/West were the IIHF successor. Do you combine all of Canada's medals with newly formed British Ontarioberta? Or list the new countries and the old federation separately? Furthermore, with Canada not defunct, do you list then as a "current nation"? I think the obvious answer speaks for itself-- Lvivske ( talk) 03:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
I'd say to just leave the chart out. It also, ironically, denies the Russian POV pushers their ability to force their on viewpoint onto the article. Reso lute 05:05, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Sadly IIHF aren't (imo) 100% clear about how they stand on this (if we compare it to FIFA where all this successor nations etc is very clear), I looked at around at IIHF.com to find some clues:
It would be easy if IIHF had a medal table for us to go by, but they don't even list number of gold medals for example on the country pages... It's a hard case to solve, but I feel that until there's a IIHF source stating that Russia and Czechia inherits Soviets and Czechoslovakias records the best would be to separate them, as indicated at "1993 – Russia wins its first World Championship gold" chan dler ··· 15:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Link If anyone does not like or agree with international laws and standards, then you shouldn’t argue here, but rather in international court Andreyx109 ( talk) 18:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)The Russian Federation (Russia) is recognized in international law as continuing the legal personality of the Soviet Union (USSR) which was dissolved on 31 December 1991.
This is quickly turning into a nationalist debate like it was last year. The issue is resolved, the medals have been removed, so let's quit while we're ahead. Although if Russia wins again this year, the situation likely will get very ugly (again). -- Scorpion 0422 18:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
The onus remains on Andreyx109 to prove the article and all Olympic article's otherwise. Though Russia took the USSR's place, doesn't mean it inherited it's statistics or that it is a mutual history. Wikipedia itself does not consider Russia to be the immediate and sole successor to the USSR, but rather one of several. It doesn't take credit for CIS play, nor Unified team play either. I don't see why this debate has to go an inch further than a footnote at the end of a medal count. Russia as a sovereign state did not exist from 1917 to 1992, nor did they ice a Russian national team. This debate is nothing more than revisionism and hoping to inflate numbers. Yes, there is a bias here, and it is a pro-Russian bias. Even I, a Russian-centric hockey editor can't find something legitimate for the Russian side in this argument. End it. -- Lvivske ( talk) 06:00, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
the IIHF also through how they write certain things indicate that while the countries are continuations they do not assume the medals of the previous countries. Until the IIHF actually makes a combined medal list we have to assume they are separate since that is how they describe them on their website.
That's an original research. We can not assume anything about IIHF , as again IIHF web-site is not very clear, its not clear on whether the medal count is joint for USSR/Russia nor that its separate. That's why I went further and supplied you the legal stand point of view, which states that Russia is internationally recognized successor to USSR. In addition to that I’ve supplied evidence from the Russian Federation of Ice Hockey, and their medal count for Russia and USSR is joined in one single table. Those sources are reliable and verifiable, so I don't feel that there is any reason to reject the fact that Russian medal count is a continuation of USSR’s . Nevetheless, I totally agree with Fences and windows, that the article as it stands presently is just fine. The day before we have found a compromise with Scorpion0422 not to include the medal counts at all on this page. I thought that this option is fair for everyone.

Wait a second here Even if the IIHF says the inherit the medal count, it's still revisionism to say Russia has won 25 World Championships. Wikipedia is supposed to be a neutral source, not the mouthpiece of the IIHF and I don't see what is being hurt by listing the totals seperately. If you want to say Russia has won 25 championships, then why not go for complete revisionism and go the article and replace every single mention of the Soviet Union with Russia? -- Scorpion 0422 02:12, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

It's coming on three years since this article was made a good article and part of a featured topic, but up to now it did not openly state the gender of the championships' participants. Only once was the gender mentioned in the prose ("Each player must be a citizen of the country he represents"). It can be easy to overlook the most simple and obvious things, but such things are important when writing an encyclopaedic article, which should assume little prior knowledge in this case. The player eligibility section should also be amended because the statement "The World Championships have been open to all players" is not true. SFB 19:33, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

The legend for this photo says that that the Mercuries were the last Canadian team to win a gold medal in the 20th Century.
That might be true of the Olympics but this is the World Championships page and Canada won the Worlds in 1994 in Italy, and again in 1997 in Finland.
Not sure this pic as well as the Olympic anecdote, which clearly reflect a North American perspective on the legacy of the World Championships, deserve such emphasis in the context of this page.
Canada would have to wait for 50 years for its next Olympic gold but as far as World Championships are concerned, they would not have to wait that long. They would win it again in 55, 58, 59 and 61 when a World Championship drought of its own started, lasting until 1994.
I think another jersey picture could be used here.
While Russia is the core state of the former USSR, I dont think Cezch Republic should be called the core state of Czechoslovakia as it is the case in the article.

I moved the page because the IIHF refers to the championships in the plural, which is only reasonable. Trontonian
The IIHF only lists championships starting at 1920. Should the pre-1920 championships be listed here? Abelsson
As some people believe (see List of international ice hockey competitions featuring NHL players) several other tournaments in the past were not less important than these ones, may be it'd be better to rename this page to official name of these tournaments: IIHF World Championships?

I noticed Ajshm changed my latest edit when I put a sup1 next to every year the Olympics also counted as the Worlds. I intentionally put it next to the year so you could easily see which winners were also Olympic winners. Having it in the venue column where it already says "(Olympic)" doesn't make much sense to me. I suggest changing it back, but I don't want to do it if Ajshm is just going to change it again. So, what do others think? -- Sarke 00:06, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
the medals of Czechoslovakia are usually added to Czech republic (because most of the players of Czechoslovakia were from Czech part of the country). Or could be added Czech republic + Czechoslovakia and Slovakia + Czechoslovakia. The reason is that Czechoslovak hockey is much more succesful than Sweden´s and it should be seen from the chart.

Dear author, the problem of your article is that you`re distinguishing in the medal tables between the USSR and Russia. This leads to a deformation of the medal tables - Russia seems to be as succesful as f.e. the UK. BUT: 1) The owherwhelming majority of the players of the USSR-Team was Russian. 2) Russia is the official succecor state of the USSR, in each aspect! I would suggest you to melt the USSR and Russia succeses in the medal table but with a special comment. This would increase the objectivity and neutrality of this article. Or ist this article written by a Canadian? :-)
Actually I respect your point of view and don´t want to change your text, cause you are not d`accord. But the fact, that Russia is the formal succecor of the USSR (in ALL international conventions) underlines, that your splitting the statistic in Russia and USSR is very problematic. For somebody, who does not know a lot about icehockey it seems like, as if we, Russians, can´t play icehockey. By the way, congratulations to your great victory in the u20 world championship! Konstantin
There seems to be some controversy about the medal table I added a while back. Here are a few points I'd like to make:
- Separate countries should have separate counts (e.g. USSR/Russia, Czech Rep./Czechoslovakia, Germany/West Germany) because combining them would skew the results. If we start combining the USSR and Russian totals then we need to consider doing the same for the Czech Rep. and Slovakia, etc. Combining the medal totals would be just as, if not more, misleading because the USSR and Russia have had vastly different success for example. We'd be making Russia (as an independent country) look better than it actually is. The fact is that Russia has only won this many medals, stating otherwise would be misleading. It also wouldn't be fair to the other countries involved because Russia or the Czech Rep. for example would be taking sole credit for something that they didn't win on their own.
Leaving the results separate will allow people to make their own minds up about how they want to view it. I will however add a few notes about the Russia/USSR totals and other similar situations to try to minimise any controversy.
- Sorting. The two ways that make sense to me is to sort either by total medals or by gold medals, then silver, then bronze. Since gold > silver I am in favour of sorting it by gold medals first (this is usually how Olympic medals are sorted too). An example of this would that Sweden would be ranked second ahead of the USSR if it was sorted by totals, it is clear that the USSRs 22 gold medals show them as more successful than Sweden (even though I'm Swedish I favour this). Another example is the Czech Republic compared to the US.
- I am in favour of adding the number of tournaments participated in (as previously mentioned) so it's easier to see each countries success, and I will do that now.

First, entries "USSR+Russia", "Czechoslovakia+Czech Republic" are confusing and irrelevant IMHO (it's a simple arithmetics to get those numbers). Second, USSR had 15 republics, which are now separate states, not only Russia, therefore writing "USSR+Russia" is IMHO unfair to other former Soviet Republics. Cmapm 18:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
I believe, that edits by 88.154.218.148, which introduced those confusing entries, were vandalism, because, e.g. for 1976 Czechoslovakia was "moved" to the second place and USSR - to the first, which is wrong. The same user seems to have vandalised other pages, including Ice hockey at the Winter Olympics, where he also introduced similar factual errors and confusing table format. Cmapm 02:15, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
To response to the USSR+Russia being unfair - there were almost all Russians on the Soviet team throught its history.
Hasnt IIHF come out with some statement, as i think FIFA have about countries as Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Soviet for their medals there. As for example, "FIFA considers the Serbia national team the direct descendant of the Serbia and Montenegro and Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia national teams." How wrong or right some may think it is. Serbia and Yugoslavia go together there, and if IIHF have made such statements, i think it should be changed here.
Well, the official IIHF site says that the Russian Team has been a member since April 1, 1952 and Czech Team since November 15, 1908, so I'd say in both cases they should be considered direct successors of the Soviet and Czechoslovakian teams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.223.63.174 ( talk) 22:45, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
You have argued about "USSR+Russia" and "Czechoslovakia+Czech Republic" entries in medal tables, but the one that irritates me is listing West Germany separately from Germany. Why? The country known as "West Germany" is officially Federal Republic of Germany which was founded in 1949 and is still in excistence. The "West German" medals from 1953 and 1976 olympics should be added with German ones. East Germany should stay in it's own column because that country and the East German hockey federation membership in IIHF ceased to exist in 1990. They didn't get any medals though.
Of course Germany only has medals from pre-WWII championships besides that of 1953, but as long as some of you are stating that it's "unfair to some nationalities to unite/separate statistics", the thing is that these are all Germans.
I like to organize my statistics thinking that while these international tournaments are dubbed as "competitions between nations" the goverment teams aren't playing, the ice hockey association teams do. So when Germany is on the ice, it's the team appointed by Deutcher Eishockey-Bund (which was established in 1963 and took the place of its predecessor in the IIHF). There was no change in 1990, the DEB is still a member and sending German teams to competitions. And when the IIHF announces that Ice Hockey Federation of Russia is taking the place of Soviet federation in world championships I dub in my statistics the Russians as Soviets "heirs" and add those up. There are good points against at the Russian case, but the German one is clear: Germany 1909-present and DDR 1949(whenever the hockey federation joined)-1990.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilder ( talk • contribs)

I think that we should include a joint statistics for Soviet Union/Russia.
That is what I have done: I have created joint record in the table for Russia/Soviet Union, as well as each team separately, one for Russia and one for Soviet Union.
I believe this should have been done before, otherwise it seems like the team who had won 22 Ice Hockey World Championships is being unfairly hidden from the readers.
The difference between Russia and Soviet Union is clearly visible by the changes I have made, however those changes also show the following:
PLEASE NOTE:
I've provided the source (International Ice Hockey Federation. Retrieved on 2009-03-08.) for the numbers I’ve used.
I also believe that this should be done for Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia. We should recognize historical achievements of the Czechoslovakian team , but we should clearly show that the Czech Republic is a new team which once was a core of Czechoslovakian team.
Andreyx109 ( talk) 17:54, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Not this again. See this discussion for the reasoning. The table is just meant to be a quick summary of current members, which is why no previous members are included (a list of previously competing teams could be added, but I don't know what the point is, since there is a long and comprehensive list of champions). -- Scorpion 0422 19:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
We should include Soviet Union/Russia in the list as this article shows the winners of the IIHF World Championship medalists since 1908 to present. If you want to show the recent winners only, then this table should be removed and only the most recent champion must be shown.
Russia is is recognized by IIHF as successor of Soviet Union (explained above and below). If you have any proof that it is otherwise, then we can discuses it further.
The discussion you are referring to and arguments provided there are nothing more than original research. I don't know whether its yours research or not, it does not considered to be a reliable source.
We need to have a reliable source to proof that Russia is not a successor of Soviet Union, the only reliable source I see available is IIHF, which puts the day Russia joind IIHF as the date Soviet Union joined.

Well, thats one of the ways we can do it. Andreyx109 ( talk) 04:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
I was invited to comment here by Andreyx109, though I'm not sure why. However, the matter is fairly clear in my opinion. True, Russia is the largest part of what was previously called the USSR. However, the USSR also included many other now-sovereign states, e.g. Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, etc. So placing the achievements of the USSR together with Russia would be misleading, since you could just as easily argue for grouping USSR with any other of the former Soviet states. The same goes for Czechoslovakia. Their achievements could just as well be grouped with those of present-day Slovakia. So I strongly argue against this sort of move. The case with fusioned states are different - there's little problem, IMO, with grouping East and West Germany together with present-day Germany for statistical purposes, as long as a footnote states how many of the medals were won as East Germany, West Germany, and post-1990 unified Germany. - Lilac Soul ( Talk • Contribs) 08:25, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Okay, what is your issue with the neutrality of the page? I admit it does have more stories about Canada than, say, Sweden or Finland (because I used a lot of Canadian sources), but I don't think it is biased in any way and I think it's reasonably neutral. The only thing you have cited is that we don't say "Russia has won 24 championships!!!!" in big bold letters. We are simply following wikipedia standards where the totals of different nations are recognized differently (this is done with all of the Olympics pages, and it's a tradition we follow here). It's not like the Soviet Union's accomplishments are hidden in any way and it does now say that Russia joined as the Soviet Union.
The table was simply meant to summarize the nations that currently compete at the World Championships. I felt it was missing something, and decided to add the medal totals for all nations. Following wikipedia's standard, I only listed Russia and the championships that they won since the Soviet Union dissolved (just like what was done for the Czechs). The Soviet's medal accomplishments are mentioned in the body (and here), so it seemed unnecessary to add them in seperate table table. The article itself does acknowledge that fact that Russia is recognized as the successor, so I decided it also wasn't necessary in the table. I think your neutrality complaint is not valid, and is clearly just a strong arm tactic. -- Scorpion 0422 00:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Okay, my response:
I'm going to throw a hypothetical out there. Lets say the federation that is Canada split up, Quebec separated, and Ontario and the West stayed together but the atlantic provinces left as well. Ont/West were the IIHF successor. Do you combine all of Canada's medals with newly formed British Ontarioberta? Or list the new countries and the old federation separately? Furthermore, with Canada not defunct, do you list then as a "current nation"? I think the obvious answer speaks for itself-- Lvivske ( talk) 03:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
I'd say to just leave the chart out. It also, ironically, denies the Russian POV pushers their ability to force their on viewpoint onto the article. Reso lute 05:05, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Sadly IIHF aren't (imo) 100% clear about how they stand on this (if we compare it to FIFA where all this successor nations etc is very clear), I looked at around at IIHF.com to find some clues:
It would be easy if IIHF had a medal table for us to go by, but they don't even list number of gold medals for example on the country pages... It's a hard case to solve, but I feel that until there's a IIHF source stating that Russia and Czechia inherits Soviets and Czechoslovakias records the best would be to separate them, as indicated at "1993 – Russia wins its first World Championship gold" chan dler ··· 15:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Link If anyone does not like or agree with international laws and standards, then you shouldn’t argue here, but rather in international court Andreyx109 ( talk) 18:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)The Russian Federation (Russia) is recognized in international law as continuing the legal personality of the Soviet Union (USSR) which was dissolved on 31 December 1991.
This is quickly turning into a nationalist debate like it was last year. The issue is resolved, the medals have been removed, so let's quit while we're ahead. Although if Russia wins again this year, the situation likely will get very ugly (again). -- Scorpion 0422 18:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
The onus remains on Andreyx109 to prove the article and all Olympic article's otherwise. Though Russia took the USSR's place, doesn't mean it inherited it's statistics or that it is a mutual history. Wikipedia itself does not consider Russia to be the immediate and sole successor to the USSR, but rather one of several. It doesn't take credit for CIS play, nor Unified team play either. I don't see why this debate has to go an inch further than a footnote at the end of a medal count. Russia as a sovereign state did not exist from 1917 to 1992, nor did they ice a Russian national team. This debate is nothing more than revisionism and hoping to inflate numbers. Yes, there is a bias here, and it is a pro-Russian bias. Even I, a Russian-centric hockey editor can't find something legitimate for the Russian side in this argument. End it. -- Lvivske ( talk) 06:00, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
the IIHF also through how they write certain things indicate that while the countries are continuations they do not assume the medals of the previous countries. Until the IIHF actually makes a combined medal list we have to assume they are separate since that is how they describe them on their website.
That's an original research. We can not assume anything about IIHF , as again IIHF web-site is not very clear, its not clear on whether the medal count is joint for USSR/Russia nor that its separate. That's why I went further and supplied you the legal stand point of view, which states that Russia is internationally recognized successor to USSR. In addition to that I’ve supplied evidence from the Russian Federation of Ice Hockey, and their medal count for Russia and USSR is joined in one single table. Those sources are reliable and verifiable, so I don't feel that there is any reason to reject the fact that Russian medal count is a continuation of USSR’s . Nevetheless, I totally agree with Fences and windows, that the article as it stands presently is just fine. The day before we have found a compromise with Scorpion0422 not to include the medal counts at all on this page. I thought that this option is fair for everyone.

Wait a second here Even if the IIHF says the inherit the medal count, it's still revisionism to say Russia has won 25 World Championships. Wikipedia is supposed to be a neutral source, not the mouthpiece of the IIHF and I don't see what is being hurt by listing the totals seperately. If you want to say Russia has won 25 championships, then why not go for complete revisionism and go the article and replace every single mention of the Soviet Union with Russia? -- Scorpion 0422 02:12, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

It's coming on three years since this article was made a good article and part of a featured topic, but up to now it did not openly state the gender of the championships' participants. Only once was the gender mentioned in the prose ("Each player must be a citizen of the country he represents"). It can be easy to overlook the most simple and obvious things, but such things are important when writing an encyclopaedic article, which should assume little prior knowledge in this case.
