I would prefer to receive complete information (e.g., "Mario Lemieux officially announced his retirement on January 24, 2006") as opposed to partial information (e..g, "hey idiot, Mario Lemieux's retirement date is missing"). Thanks.

I noticed that on Gretzky's page that you have that he officially announced his retirement. You have something similar for Mario:

But he actually announced his retirement twice. The first one allowed him to be inducted in the HOF years before his second retirement.

For Lafleur, this kind of notation is missing altogether.

Are you looking to receive this kind of information (at least for HOFers)?
