Suggested edits - additional section
Kivalina's relocation efforts have spanned the last decade at least. There should probably be a brief history of the issues that led the community to consider relocation and the various steps that have taken place to date. For instance, most recently the evacuation road was completed. I suggest a standalone section to address relocation.Howets (talk) 03:40, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Kotzebue, Alaska

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help, specifically WikiProject Cities/Guideline.

 * Reverting Cathyandnoah's deletion of "Kotzebue is also about 30 miles from Noatak and Kiana and other smaller towns and is the only town in the region with a true airport." citing "This statement is inaccurate".

 * Kotzebue, Alaska 66°53′50″N 162°35′8″W
 * Noatak, Alaska 67°34′19″N 162°58′30″W is about "30" miles to the North and West.
 * Kiana, Alaska 66°58′18″N 160°25′49″W is about "40" miles to the East.

I did not write the statement which is in the article - "town" and "region" are "too vague". I believe the original contributor was trying to say that Kotzebue was the only city in the Northwest Arctic Borough (or within about 200? miles) to have regularly scheduled "large" (jet?) commercial passenger aircraft service to and from places like Anchorage, Alaska. By "true airport", the original contributor could have also meant one with either:
 * having a paved runway
 * 24-hour or regularly staffed air traffic control tower?

 * Nome, Alaska 64°30′14″N 165°23′58″W Nome Airport the closest larger airport is about 250+ miles to the South (in the Nome Census Area rather than the Northwest Arctic Borough).

I agree that there are a least a couple of things wrong with the (deleted) sentence, but "deleting" it entirely is not the same as "correcting". LeheckaG (talk) 07:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Long history of domestic violence, sexual assault, and murder
ProPublica, alongside Anchorage Daily News, has published a massive investigation into Mayor Clement Richards Sr' sons and their history of domestic violence of multiple women and likely murder of two women, all of which has been actively covered up and not criminally pursued by the local prosecutors and judicial magistrates. This also falls into the broader topic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, of which the two murdered women were. Is there a good place to add this broader issue into this article on Kotzebue?

Talk:Red Dog Mine, Alaska

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

Census data
Proving a negative is a difficult task.

In this case I want to prove that no one "lives" in the Red Dog Mine CDP, but am unable to find a published source stating so. Nor can I find a published source stating that no one lives on top of Mt. Edgecumbe, near Sitka. But I could create a published source (the US census for 2010) claiming that the summit of Mt. Edgcumbe is indeed inhabited if I report in 2010 that I live there with my 15 children.

All employees of the Red Dog mine work and stay at the mine in shifts several weeks long. All stay in the mine's PAC (Personnel Accommodation Center). No houses or homes exist in the CDP (as correctly reported by the census).

The census data for the Red Dog Mine CDP is a result of the reporting oddity that of the hundreds of employees of the Red Dog mine, a few individuals chose to report the mine, their worksite, as their home. A perhaps not unreasonable choice, if those individuals actually were "homeless" when not at work, e.g., staying with friends, family, or traveling the world.

My point is that the reported census data gives a ridiculously wrong report; at any given time there are hundreds of people working, eating, and sleeping within the Red Dog Mine CDP - this is verifiable - see the references within the Red Dog mine article; but zero people (not 32) "live" there.

Are aircraft carriers reported as CDP's? Certainly some of the hundreds of military teenagers who serve on them have no houses or apartments back in the US. But to have a Wikipedia article blandly stating that the population of the USS Nimitz is 32 would be absurd. As is the census report that the Red Dog Mine CDP has a population of 32.

It is still my contention that the Red Dog Mine CDP does not warrant an article. It is of interest only to statisticians, mensurators, and census-takers interested in how difficult it is to catagorize data, and how that data can be mis-collected and mis-represented. The article as it stands, although it accurately parrots the 2000 census data, has a 100% misleading/false demographics section, and makes Wikipedia look like the unintelligent junk some people (not me) like to claim it is.CGX (talk) 05:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

NO one cares about the CDP
But lots of people are interested in the mine.

The Red Dog Mine CDP wikipedia article is number 2 when one googles red dog mine.

All those googlers are after facts on the mine, not the CDP.

That is why it is appropriate to strip the article on the CDP to a bare minimum, rather than leave misleadingly-summerized references to the mine on the CDP page. Let them click through to the mine article.CGX (talk) 05:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Communication
Red Dog Mine is the location for the United States largest Dish Network install of 380 receivers all linked to 2 satellite dishes via fiber optics at the main camp based close o the mine it self. Installed by [Satellite Alaska] out of Anchorage Alaska and Earth Station Communication & Security out of Danville Illinois. The system bosts one recever per room at the man camp based at the mine. An additional 40 receivers to the 380 at the port located at the other end of the 52 mile road.

Can you provide an example of what you mean about the "link like to another Wiki article"? Nyttend (talk) 16:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

 * By the way, I reverted the last edit: not because of bad content, but because it was newly added with bad coding, and it doesn't help at all to have a broken link that nobody (except for the one posting it) knows what it's supposed to refer to. Nyttend (talk) 16:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Come on now! I was updating the Geography section and had to go to the Infobox to look up the "ref name=". When you undid the sentence I updated before I could correct the "ref name=" to the proper tag.  Someone (you?) recommended that I edit in a sandbox and then just post over whatever else is there when I am done.  To me that does not sound appropriate either.

Talk:Hyder, Alaska

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?

Untitled
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

Law enforcement
Is it true that they use the RCMP and Canadian courts? I find this difficult to believe, given that US law and Canadian law differ substantially on a number of areas. I heard that if law enforcement is needed, they radio to Ketchikan to have an Alaska State Trooper come.

Also, the Post Office isn't the only US Government presence; there are also US Forest Service people there from time to time.

It is true that they primarily use Canadian currency.

Follow-up comment, sorry, I don't really know how I'm supposed to contribute to the discussion in here.

I'm fairly certain that they use US police. A Mountie from Stewart once told me a story of state troopers flying into Stewart, crossing the border into Hyder, arresting someone, then taking him across the border to fly back to Alaska. This is secondhand info, yeah. From what I remember, there were no cops in Hyder--they'd only be sent if something serious happened.

On the subject of schools, the teacher of US history also taught social studies -- the Alaskan government probably paid part of his salary, and they certainly gave a fair bit of money to the school district, but they didn't retain a teacher just for US history. From what I've heard the school built in Hyder was shut down after the number of enrolled students dropped, and now people have to send their children to boarding school.

 * They do, in fact use the RCMP and the Canadian courts. Through an Alaskan state provided supplement to their salaries, 2 judges in Stewart were educated in certain differences between Canadian constitutional law and American/AK state constitutional law. Civil law remains American as well, although this is not an issue, as the civil doctrine is identical in both countries- Preponderance of the evidence instead of reasonable doubt, Negligence, the reasoble person doctrine. Provided by agreement with the canadiens, Hyder misdemenor crimes are identical to Stewerts. Alaska state misdemenors do not exist in Stewert. A RCMP in Stewert is permitted to arrest US citizens in Hyder for misdemenor charges, and try them in Canadien courts. Felony charges, however are handled by State Troopers brought in, but arrest and holding is allowed to be done by RCMP officers while waiting for the trooper. It's a mix of both legal systems. (Although there really is far less difference then you'd think. Being from Southeast Alaska, as well as a former resident of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, a city split between America and Canada, I've been under the jurisdiction of both sets for significant portions of my life.) -AKMask 18:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm late to this discussion obviously, but wanted to chime in: This situation (law enforcement) sounds a bit like the Status Of Forces Agreements (SOFA) we have in the Army when US soliders go to train or be stationed in foreign countires. The SOFA spells out who has authority over whom,and for what offenses. In some cases, the sovereign countrys police may have ultimate authority, but in others, a GI is remanded to American authorities for investigation, discipline, etc. (Remember the US fighter pilot that hit the ski gondola cables and killed the people inside in Italy back in the 90s. He was tried by US authorities, per the agreement). Hyder could be a similar situation at the civilian level - i.e. allowing the RCMP as "first responders" and-or to handle minor issues..Having said all that, I cannot find a legitimate source for the authority of the RCMP to cross the border. I'll tag that line, and remove the ref nmber listed (which leads to a rather long write-up of SE Alaska). If anyone has a legit source (not some tourist's website, but an authoritative source), please add it to the refs. Engr105th (talk) 02:35, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The statement in question says, "and calling the police means a Canadian Mountie will respond". The source for this statement is, "the police are of the Mountie variety".  The editors here have shown general agreement that they think this source is reliable in this statement.  This source is not a "tourist's website", but a book archived by Google.  A bot has restored the reference you removed because it was being used elsewhere in the article, but the cn tag is still there.  Perhaps you'd like to call the Chamber of Commerce if you are still not convinced that the encyclopedia is being reliable?  Unscintillating (talk) 05:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * @Unscintillating: you're absolutely right, that source isn't a tourist website (didn't mean to imply it was; just asking for more authoritative sources) but it is a tourism-travel reference. Police authority across sovereign borders is unusual in the sense this Wiki article implies...Glad the bot restored the ref, though. I didn't notice it referred to other parts of the article (my fault). As far as general agreement on reliability, it looks like at least one other contributor above questioned it also... I looked at the Chamber's website, and I saw info for fire and hospital services, etc, but nothing about any police services provided from Stewart to Hyder. Would like to find out more about it, but calling the Chamber is probably "original research" which isn't allowed under Wiki rules. I'm open to suggestions. Engr105th (talk) 10:00, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:OR is a content policy, and content policy applies to the content of Articles. So, yes, you can't call up the chamber and report your findings on the article page.  But WP:OR doesn't stop editors from going to local libraries.  What we are talking about now is WP:IRS, or WP:Identifying reliable sources, which is not a part of content policy.  You've argued that the source I used "might not" be reliable.  Your evidence is "Hyder could be a similar situation [to SOFA] at the civilian level".  That is just a concern, you've offered no evidence that the source is unreliable.  In addition to escalating to WP:RS/N, you could dispell your own concerns with a phone call.  Whatever you find out, if I doubt what you say, I can call the chamber myself and get my own version of the story.  Or you could do some Google searches and find more sources.

 * The other point you might argue is in WP:V, that "Exceptional claims require exceptional sources". Given the theory presented by the editors above, there is no police staff in Hyder, but a bar owner can call over to Canada, and if there is a rowdy drunk in their bar, the Mounties will drive across the border and arrest the person for a misdeameanor and that person will be tried under US law in a Canadian court by a Canadian judge.  Right now, that theory fails WP:V, so we wouldn't put any of that in the article, but to me it passes the test of reason.  It would be interesting to know where the person would be jailed if convicted.  But where is there anything exceptional?  Unscintillating (talk) 21:21, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Another place to look is based on the above statement that payments to the Canadian judges are provided by the state. You might look in site:state.ak.us or site:alaska.gov for "Hyder".  Unscintillating (talk) 21:32, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Wow, good info...and Thanks! I think Wiki has a direct message system - it did at one time - and I'll fire you a few thoughts if I can figure out the system. I don't want to clutter the talk page with speculation.. I may also contact the Chamber via email and see if they have any docs they'd be willing to post on that website...I don't really have a problem with the Wiki article either way,but it sure struck me funny. Travelers researching the area might also want the "straight dope" on this. Thnx again, Engr105th (talk) 04:49, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

A section of this article in the Public safety section claimed that an RCMP might come into town, presumably on law enforcement duties.

 * "The nearest policing is sometimes provided by stopovers by the Stewart Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Detachment from the Canadian side. "

It was edited out, the USA is a sovereign country as much as Canada is. Alaska State Troopers from Ketchikan might very well visit Stewart for pleasure, just as RCMP from Stewart might visit Hyder for the same reasons on their off duty hours.

The following article explains that In a 2004 incident, four American police cruisers who did not radio ahead to CBSA border station officers at Niagara Falls, Ontario who were in pursuit of a stolen pickup truck that fled to Canada were instructed to return to the USA. The driver of the stolen vehicle hit a female bystander exiting from her parked car on the Ontario side of the falls. Niagara Regional Police arrested a suspect after a brief exchange of gun fire with and charged him with impaired driving causing bodily harm and attempted murder of a police officer. It sparked a minor diplomatic incident.

 * The edit in question removed sourced material based on a personal opinion. Wikipedia is not a process to resolve personal opinions, so we defer to sources, rightly or wrongly.  In this case, the sources all agree.  While this sourcing is not sufficient to overcome the argument of an urban legend, there is not any evidence here of an urban legend, rather a belief that international borders are inviolate and invariable.  The opinion is not new from the arguments already presented above, so I suggest you read the above discussion.  Meanwhile, I've added another reference to the disputed comment.  Regards, Unscintillating (talk) 08:01, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The 2 sources being used didn't even talk about the subject, so I removed them. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:30, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * And then I removed them again. If the material being proffered isn't in the sources, they shouldn't be placed where it appears they're confirming what is being claimed. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:30, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * And again. Would you please explain why you keep restoring them when they don't say what is being claimed? Niteshift36 (talk) 04:40, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

 * For those interested in what is going on here, I have posted on my talk page. I have also made a request for additional editors to become involved.  Unscintillating (talk) 06:11, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * This should be discussed here. That's where editors interested in editing this page expect to find discussions about it. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:29, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There is ten years of discussion here. The points I've made on my talk page draw attention to reasons other than improving the encyclopedia for your being here.  I've invited other editors, but none have come, so currently there is no concensus for your removal of sources.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:42, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There's no consensus for inclusion of material that is being presented falsely. I haven't even removed the material. I removed the sources that don't support it. Can you address the specific question: How do those sources support the material? Niteshift36 (talk) 00:47, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Your argument is that I falsified a reference. This is a behavioural issue, not a content issue such as can be discussed on a talk page.  We already know from my comments on my talk page why you are here.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:46, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Wrong. I didn't say you falsified them. You're restoring sources that don't support the material. That's vandalism, not lying. You can incorrectly say AVOIDYOU all you want, it doesn't apply here. Either explain why the sources that don't address the topic belong or stop restoring them. It's simple and required by WP:V. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:35, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Your specific initial post here is, "The 2 sources being used didn't even talk about the subject". Your responses have been unable to defend your initial post by discussing the sources you want to remove, and your responses have yet to show any attention to the ten years of discussion above.  Instead your most recent response repeats the word "vandalism" which appeared in your last edit summary.  Vandalism is a behavioural argument, and this talk page is not a place to discuss behavioural arguments.  As per my post on my talk page, we know why you are here.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:45, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I know what I said in my edit summary and I've repeatedly said it: The sources don't support the claim. How you can say that I haven't defended my initial post. The sources don't even talk about the RCMP, let alone support the claim. There's nothing to "defend". It's not there. Have you even read the sources? As for your "10 years of discussion"......of course I read it. I read it enough to see that 10 years ago, an editor posted and one responded..... then nobody discussed a thing for SIX YEARS. Then a few more posts and no discussion for FOUR MORE YEARS. So calling it "10 years of discussion" is really a bit misleading. When it was revived, another editor wanted it removed and you've been the only one opposing it. Yes, I've used the word vandalism and I stand by it. When you've been informed that the sources don't support the data and restore it, that's vandalism. And no, that's not a "behavioral argument". Removing vandalism is an exception to the 3RR. Behavioral issues wouldn't be an exception. Once again, I'll ask you directly: Have you read the sources and where does it say that the RCMP provides law enforcement services in Hyder? Niteshift36 (talk) 02:58, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Your hypothesis is that the sources, "didn't even talk about the subject". Your demand is that I falsify your argument.  But I have no such burden, and you've not made the case that there is any basis for the claim.  No editor has supported your view.  Your approach of demanding, shouting, and threatening does not IMO improve the strength of your argument.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:17, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There's not "hypothesis". I'm not speculating that the sources don't talk about the subject of law enfrocement. I read them. It is FACT, not a theory. Actually, 2607:FEA8:1100:94:DDE8:EB0F:52B7:E89D does support it and, as you see below, another experienced user is supporting it. What is absent here is anyone else supporting your position. I haven't threatened you at all. I did capitalize a few words for emphasis, but I guess if you want to call that "shouting" you can. You still have not answered the basic question: Have you read the sources and where does it say that the RCMP provides law enforcement services in Hyder? Niteshift36 (talk) 13:34, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

 * The source in question only says that the Canadian Mounties "occasionally pop in to say hello"- i.e. social visits. There is no mention of actual law enforcement in that source. I agree that this source is unsuitable for verifying this claim. Reyk  YO!  06:37, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you . I was led here because Unscintillating was canvassing elsewhere; this rather ridiculous and exasperating discussion, where a statement in the article is so obviously not proven in the reference, is typical of the editor's MO, which is to wikilawyer in a way that bears no relationship to what's happening in the article or the discussion. It is ridiculously counterproductive. Drmies (talk) 15:11, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Here we go again with "the reference", emphasis on "the". Somewhere in my mountain of books is one I skimmed through recently which claims otherwise.  It also states that traffic on the 37A has to stop for Canadian Customs in both directions, which contradicts claims made in multiple articles.  I didn't bother to jot down details, because if I did that every time merely for the benefit of other Wikipedians who are evidently unable/unwilling to do research, I'd never get anything accomplished for myself.  Since this discussion has reached such ridiculous levels, I'll try to make an effort to dig it up.  However, as Wikipedia is already so far gone in the direction of being a pathetic exercise in cherry-picking sources and showing zero good faith towards anything without a URL attached, I wonder if it's really worth the bother. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  05:04, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * That's a nice rant, but a little light on truth. WP:IKNOWIT is usually not persuasive. "Somewhere" isn't a verifiable source. Since Verifiability is on of the basic tenants here, it's not really cherry-picking to remove something that isn't supported by a reliable source, even one without a URL attached. Other Wikipedians ARE willing and able to do research.... and none of the reliable sources I found show that the RCMP routinely provides law enforcement services to Hyder. Even being stopped for customs wouldn't count, since that activity is taking place outside of Hyder and certainly not for the benefit of the residents. Removing unsourced information isn't a lack of good faith, but claiming that others didn't do any research is. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:47, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

 * This article has been mentioned at WT:Editing policy, diff. Unscintillating (talk) 03:56, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Hmmm
Not sure, good questions though Jarfingle 07:07, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Time Zone?
A couple of places in the article text mention that Hyder uses "Canadian time," which presumably refers to Pacific Standard/Daylight Time, in line with most of British Columbia. However, the infobox says that it is in AKST/AKDT. Should the infobox be changed to PST/PDT? Lincmad (talk) 22:59, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This ref and this ref document that Hyder is on AKST/AKDT. In any case don't "presume", find a reliable source.  The way I read this is that the official time for Hyder is ignored by most of the residents.  Maybe there is some way to augment the infobox to show both.  Unscintillating (talk) 09:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Demographics: Median Income figures are fishy
I don't know what the correct numbers are, but the numbers given in the Demographics section for median income are mathematically impossible without some serious legerdemain. The median income per household should not be lower than the median incomes for both men and women. Lincmad (talk) 23:06, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Another fact check
From the article:

"Hyder has some notoriety as the place where people become 'Hyderized.' Two of the town's bars issue certifications to patrons of being 'Hyderized' if the patron consumes a shot of 150 proof (75% alcohol) Everclear."

Apparently, the Canadian influence extends here, too. If I'm not mistaken, Alaska's liquor laws were amended years ago to specifically prohibit bars from serving liquors with such high alcohol content.137.229.65.159 (talk) 02:01, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

250 Area Code

Contradiction: southernmost city in Alaska
As of the timestamp in this signature, both the articles Adak, Alaska and this one (Hyder, Alaska) claim that their subject is the southernmost city in Alaska. They can't both be the southernmost. I would say given that Hyder's latitude is 55 degrees north and Adak's latitude is 51 degrees north, Adak has the better claim.--Captain Breakfast (talk) 13:28, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

I'll correct that on both pages. Hyder is the easternmost. Adak is the southernmost. Although Adak is a more recent settlement, I'm not sure how Hyder was ever mistaken, since nearby communities of Ketchikan, Hydaburg and Metlakatla are all further south. It can claim, however, to be the southernmost community in Alaska that can be reached by car (as opposed to boat/ferry or plane). DJ Jones74 (talk) 03:32, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, I usually don't edit articles about which I know nothing at all, but I figure that if you know it's a dry community you are probably right about the time zone, so I took that out for you. I wasn't sure where to note that it's a dry community so I did not make that entry. What section should it go in? Alternately, I am willing to help someone else do this if they think it should be in there and don't know how to make that happen.

The National Archives Project has a huge number of images on this topic
I just wanted to point this out to anyone who may be interested in using them for something, perhaps to expand this page or for a local history project. Most of them were taken in 1917 by a Sir Henry Wellcome, who seems to have liked the place. Or had a new camera :)

National Archives pictures are free to use on Wikipedia or elsewhere, since they belong to the US government. Some of them are in a gallery here:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metlakahtla,_Alaska

I do not remember which of the NARA batches they were in, but if you search the site commons.wikimedia.org for Henry Wellcome you will find literally hundreds of photos that have not yet been sorted.

Hope that helps someone. Please feel free to ask me a question on my talk page if you are interested but not sure how to proceed. Elinruby (talk) 09:22, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Meyers Chuck, Wrangell

Which county-equivalent?
With the recent expansion of Ketchikan Gateway, I looked at this KGB map and inattentively
 * Wait, I've realised my error. As I was about to say, I looked at the KGB map (and this POW-H map) and saw that all of POW-OK between the old KGB and Wrangell-Petersburg Census Area boundaries had been incorporated as KGB expanded to the northwest.  Knowing that Meyers Chuck was in POW-OK (see the original data for the page), I naturally believed that it was in KGB.  Not until comparing this Census Bureau map from 2000 with the KGB map, and then consulting the Wrangell map did I realise that Wrangell has also annexed part of the old POW-OK boundaries, including Meyers Chuck.  Because census-designated places can't exist in municipalities, it's plainly not a CDP anymore.  Nyttend (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Distinction between borough formation and annexation.
The article currently states that Meyers Chuck was annexed by Wrangell.

That is technically & legally incorrect.

The incorporation of a municipality & annexation by a municipality are two different legal processes in Alaska. What Wrangell did, was to form a borough, the boundaries of which included the community of Meyers Chuck.

See this article: Wrangell files a petition to form own borough | Juneau Empire - Alaska's Capital City Online Newspaper http://juneauempire.com/stories/052606/sta_20060526026.shtml#.ViEbrSs2ckJ

See also, the information here, on the website of the Local Boundary Commission, which regulates municipal boundary changes, including incorporation, annexation & dissolution: https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/dcra/LocalBoundaryCommission/Information.aspx

To create a borough, after the petition is approved by the Local Boundary Commission, an election must be held, with the eligible voters consisting of the registered voters residing in the proposed municipality.

To annex an area into an existing municipality, two elections must be held. One for the voters within the existing municipality and another for the voters in the area to be annexed. Both initiatives must pass, for the annexation to proceed.

In reviewing the Division of Elections website, there are only results for one election with regards to Wrangell, the proposal to incorporate the city and borough of Wrangell and nothing for an election in Meyers Chuck: Past Special Local Elections http://www.elections.alaska.gov/ei_sle_scle.php

I suggest changing it from: "On June 1, 2008, it **was annexed into** the newly created City and Borough of Wrangell ..."

to

"On June 1, 2008, it **became part of** the newly created City and Borough of Wrangell ,.."

The reason I raise this issue, is that it is being argued that the residents of Prince of Wales Island need to form a borough, to prevent annexation by a neighboring borough and some are pointing to the "annexation" of Meyers Chuck as an example. When, in fact, it was not annexed, but included in the initial incorporation of a borough, facts that do not apply in our situation. The current wording only serves to "fuel the fire" of the misconception.

Thanks for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.237.158.4 (talk) 17:12, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Census "borgs" at it again ...
For Alaskans in South-Eastern Alaska, the water, Inside Passage a.k.a. Inland Passage is the major "road". Links to nautical charts (even if they are "Public Domain") are relatively more important than than "Public Domain" Census data.

Perhaps you should start by deleting all the Public Domain Census data?

Please restore the chart links and the short nautical narrative text which you removed. I do not want to undo you edits nor have to again sort out what someone else deleted.

Also, if you look at the example "Featured" city articles, they do not begin with the "Census paragraph", especially not a "Census sentence".

They begin with where the location is at and some interesting relevant facts about it.

Reading about the Census in the first paragraph is mildly annoying, in the first sentence is too much. LeheckaG (talk) 22:21, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

As a courtesy to other contributors, could we discuss complicated or controversial issues on the talk page, not in our edit summaries...
An anonymous IP address excised information I added with the edit summary "Undoing this and associated edits by GeoSwan because the photo and story added (fishing boat running aground nearby) were not noteworthy enough to include in a Wikipedia article."

Explaining complicated or controversial edit solely with a brief edit summary is the worst trigger for edit warring.

I reverted this series of edits and encourage the IP contributor to (1) explain themselves on the talk page; (2) establish one named wiki-ID, and use it for all their edits, so their is a single point of contact. I have a terrible wikistalker, who was indefinitely blocked three years ago, and has since then mis-used almost 100 different anonymous IP addresses to continue to wikistalk me. If you really think you can make a positive contribution establish a named wiki-ID.

As for whether this information is "noteworthy enough" - RS thought it was noteworthy enough to write about. Geo Swan (talk) 14:37, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The RS said the grounding occurred in Neka Bay, not in Hoonah itself. Neka Bay is not only not in city limits, it's in fact quite some distance away, across Port Frederick from the city.  It's obvious you are trying to place it in this article because any other article more appropriate to its location would not be seen by as many readers.  Furthermore, it stands alone in a separate section called "Water transport".  Hoonah sits on an island.  I'm supposed to believe that the only thing notable about water transport in a community located on an island is some piece of yesterday's headlines reported by a media outlet a short distance away?  So much for "the sum of all human knowledge".  You've not even trying to make this anything other than a dumping ground for news stories.

Köppen climate formula
According to the criteria for third-letter "s" climates (C and D main groups) in the Köppen climate classification system, a true "s" ("Mediterranean" in the broadest sense) climate should have its driest summer month with a precipitation less than 40 millimetres and less than one-third of the wettest winter month's precipitation. "Winter" and "summer", unlike in the aridity threshold criteria for B climates, are here defined as the meteorological seasons each spanning three months (and not six like the low-sun and high-sun halves of the year). So, as Skagway's driest summer month (June) receives 28.3 mm of precipitation, the first criterion is met, but not the second - the wettest winter month (December) has only 63.7 mm, the quotient of both is still 28.3 / 61.7 ≈ 0.45, which is clearly above the threshold for dry summers.--Yadgar (talk) 20:55, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * If winter is indeed defined as three months for determining if a climate has a dry summer, then Salt Lake City also doesn't qualify for Dsa, since none of the three winter months have precipitation more three times that of the driest summer month. — Eru·tuon 01:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

The site in this ca. 1898 photofraoh is labeled as Foster Glacier near Skagway. I can't find a glacier by that name in the area. Does anyone know what it is? FloridaArmy (talk) 12:42, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * GNIS lookup says that Taku Glacier was named Foster Glacier in 1890 by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in honor of Charles Foster. Not precisely "near Skagway". RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  00:10, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Moore family claim
The article claims prospectors jumped the Moore family claim when it is more complex. The Moore's were British subjects and so were not eligible for a United States homestead. At the time they came it was uncertain if Skagway was in Alaska or Canada. RichardBond (talk) 11:49, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Jesse Murphy NOT accredited with killing Soapy Smith
I take issue with the note that claims Jesse Murphy is accredited with the killing of Soapy Smith. By definition, accredited means “officially recognized,” and at the Skagway coroner’s inquest held after Soapy’s death, the jury under oath determined that Frank Reid killed Soapy Smith, not Murphy. That is the only officially recognized verdict, rendered after two autopsies and the interviews of numerous witnesses.

I don’t have a problem with people saying that Murphy killed Smith if that’s what they believe, but in legal terms, describing it as official is simply not true. 24.237.31.191 (talk) 06:12, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
