Miracle on Ice
I think this is an especially well-written narrative of a significant historial moment in sports and Soviet-American relations. The description of the gameplay during the match is compelling, and I think of an appropriate length and detail. The selection of photos is very good. -- Kharker 20:27, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose:
- Only two references cited, no footnotes or other ways of tying citations into which text drew from them.
- The article goes into great detail about the emotional impact from the U.S. side, but doesn't at all explore how the Soviets (their players, their coach, their fans, their media) handled the loss. There's a brief paragraph about how "Soviet ice hockey was still recognized for superior play and talent" but that's it. I imagine the game must have been as depressing for them as it was joyous for the Americans.

- Oppose : the tone has has to be written into a more encyclopedic one eg: The match against the great Soviet team was very emotional and so memorable that many Americans still do not realize that it did not win the gold medal for the U.S. Also the Soviet view is underrepresented. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:18, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- Object Not enough sources. Biased coverage towards the American team. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:19, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
