Talk:Chicken, Alaska

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

In the main body of the article it says the population is 17 and in the sidebar 170. Which is it? --41.222.129.145 (talk) 14:29, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Why Do They Call it "Chicken?"
Good Question. In the late 1800's, early miners traveled far in search of gold. Food was sometimes scarce, but a particular area near the South Fork of the 40-Mile River was abundant in Ptarmigan, now the state bird which bears a resemblance to a chicken (Ah the foreshadowing is thicker than steel.) The miners kept themselves alive with the help of the Ptarmigan (if you consider being eaten as helping.)

In 1902, Chicken was to become incorporated, the second town in Alaska to do so. The name "Ptarmigan" was suggested. Many people liked the name, but felt the quotation marks were too presumptuous. The name was shortened to Ptarmigan.

The only problem was that nobody could agree on the correct spelling. They didn't want their town name to be the source of ridicule and laughter, so they decided on "Chicken." (The irony is thicker than the foreshadowing.)

 * I hear that this is an apocryphal story, but that the term "chicken" was used as a synonym for ptarmigan, since they were plentiful and a staple meat. Deirdre 19:33, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

 * If it's apocryphal, why is it stated as fact in the article? StaticElectric (talk) 01:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know if this was excised from the article or if it's an unsigned talk page post. Either way, it's plainly intended to be whimsical enough to where it shouldn't be taken that seriously.  Just in case it is, however: the statement "In 1902, Chicken was to become incorporated, the second town in Alaska to do so" needs to be checked.  It may be factually accurate to state that it would be the second town to incorporate in that part of Alaska, following Eagle in 1901.  Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway all incorporated in 1900, with Eagle as well as Valdez in 1901.  There may be others I'm missing.  Therefore, by 1902, it would be impossible to call it the second incorporated town in all of Alaska.  If Chicken did incorporate, something which can be verified through reliable sources, that would be of interest to the subject of the article, I would think (see discussion below on raging edit-warring dispute, as incorporation would also pertain to the community's history and demographic makeup).

Notable residents
"Chicken has one important former inhabitant: The teacher Anne Hobbs Purdy, co-author of the book Tisha"She was certainly the most notable person from Chicken, but to refer to her as the only one is stretching it. I take it that no one has ever heard of Robert S. McCombe? He was a gold miner in that country for probably a half-century or better, and also served in several early Alaska state legislatures and wrote multiple books about his life (one of which is in my library, but I haven't read it yet).RadioKAOS (talk) 21:45, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Edits...external links and photo
A couple years ago, the external links to businesses (3) in Chicken were removed, including the link to the business "Downtown Chicken", which has been added again under the heading "Homepage". It is not the home page for Chicken, but a webpage for the business that holds the name "Downtown Chicken" per the State of Alaska website. Same is true of the photo on this page, it is of the business and not downtown Chicken, as Chicken has no downtown. There are two other businesses in Chicken, a Post Office and a number of scattered residents, who mostly leave for the winter months. There are only 4-5 people who stay through the winter. If one business is promoted on this site, then all 3 businesses should be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chickengold (talk • contribs) 9:04, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Here are some realities of how Wikipedia works: 1) Any bottom-feeding non-profit or government agency can promote themselves to their hearts' content and no one blinks an eye. For-profit enterprises are held to a different standard.  2) Too many articles to count or mention are filled with crappy, subpar sources due to the mentality that "no URL = no verifiability".  URLs which are not offered in this context tend to be deleted out of hand, often without much thought as to whether they are actually useful or could provide clues to reliable sources which could improve the article.  Oh yeah, then there's this recent idea that notability is black and white and there's no such thing as notability within the context of an article.  Eliminating mention of Anne Purdy and Tisha only pushes this article further in the direction of promoting the fiction that it's only notability is as an enumeration district of the U.S. Census Bureau. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  01:52, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Statistics
When dealing with demographics among 6 households, is it really best practice to use percentages?

So instead of: "There were 6 households out of which 50.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 66.7% were married couples living together, 16.7% had a female householder with no husband present, and 16.7% were non-families. 16.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 16.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.83 and the average family size was 3.00."

This seems more appropriate:

"Amongst a total of 6 households, 3 had children under the age of 18 living with them, 4 were married couples living together, 1 had a female householder with no husband present, and 1 were non-families. 1 of all households were made up of individuals and 1 had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.83 and the average family size was 3.00."

The population size seems sufficiently small that demographic comparisons to other communities would not be meaningful, and that language that states that one house had a single senior is more appropriate than saying that out of six occupied houses, that 16.7% had a single senior. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.219.251.104 (talk) 11:46, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Anyone who's been around Wikipedia long enough knows that back in the day, thousands of stubs on US places were created by a bot which regurgitated raw census data. This article was started by that bot.  Some people thought it was great to create thousands of article en masse at a time when wikipedia only had a few thousand articles.  Other people thought that the text was dull, repetitive and barely encyclopaedic, and that the mass creation did more harm than good.  One result of the bot's actions was articles like this, where a village of 17 people got four paragraphs of absurd text which is clearly of no value.  "For every 100 females there were 88.9 males" - there are 17 people in the village!  This is a ludicrous statement.
 * Tragically enough this shoddy text has barely been touched since it was put there in 2002. It remains absurd and it's also now outdated.  The only demographic fact worth including in an article about a village of 17 people is that 17 people live there.  However, this is Wikipedia where the opportunity to be high handed and snotty to anonymous editors is rarely passed up, so when I removed this laughing stock of a section, someone made an idiotically false accusation of vandalism, accused me of "IP hopping in order to remove content", and misused their administrator privileges to protect the article.  That editor was clearly motivated by anti-IP prejudice.  A glance at their contributions reveals that they do little more than revert anonymous edits and template anonymous users.
 * A house by house description of the population of a village is an embarrassment to anything that wants to call itself an encyclopaedia. The two editors who not only tried to force it back in but did so with personal attacks accompanying their folly should be ashamed of themselves.  I will remove it again.  201.220.242.75 (talk) 05:26, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the IP user should take just a moment to think about how it looks to administrators (or anyone else for that matter) when anonymous users simply remove information from articles without obtaining consensus on the article talk pages. Anonymous users and new users vandalize Wikipedia all day long, and when they simply delete or change information like this, it looks just like much of the other vandalism that we see every day, and immediately revert every day as well.  As for the two versions of the text above, you are right that the second version sounds more conversational and may make more sense when discussing percentages with such a small sample.  A third possibility would be to word the section something along these lines: Out of a total of six households, three (or 50%) had children under the age of 18 living with them, four (66.7%) were married couples living together....  There might, of course, be some obscure rule about this that I am unaware of, but if it makes the encyclopedia better, there is a rule that covers it called WP:IAR.  And in general, IP user or registered user, if you make a change and someone reverts the change, it's time to discuss on the talk page, not continue the process with additional reverts. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 06:49, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Neither I nor anyone else needs to obtain consensus before removing absurd and out of date information from an article. If there are people who can't be bothered to look at the content of my edits before reverting them and making obviously false accusations of vandalism, that's their problem, not mine.  As for your suggested text, the notion that we should ever say "Out of a total of six households, three (or 50%)" is hard to take seriously.  This is a village of 17 people.  Its median income and the percentage of its six houses which contain children under 18 are statistically meaningless and encyclopaedically worthless.  The necessary demographic information is that the population of the town is 17 people.  201.220.243.122 (talk) 03:54, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey, you old disruptor, why don't you rewrite/condense the information a bit? I'll grant you that percentages in this case are silly, but there's no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater, even if that 2000 baby is already a pimply teenager clogging up your internet connection. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:56, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, start with an insult, that's the way to get things done, isn't it? 201.220.242.59 (talk) 12:56, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The knots people tie themselves in to ensure that an article remains a laughing stock are really impressive. I particularly like the series of edit summaries left with the last six utterly stupid reverts:
 * (3.1.13)
 * the reason is "unexplained deletion"
 * Le warrior
 * Not sure which one of those is my favourite really. The reverts without any summary lose points for lack of originality.  3.1.13 probably takes it for being so utterly meaningless.  You really take the idea of consensus and discussion seriously, don't you?  Making repeated personal attacks, repeatedly reverting for no reason and entirely ignoring the talk page demonstrates that very well. 201.220.243.176 (talk) 23:37, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

The IP user has been identified as the subject of this investigation. Further edit warring over this article will not be tolerated. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 18:03, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

 * I had a look and I'm happy with the current state of the article as I look at it now. If I had to keep anything, it would be "17 people, 6 households, and 4 families" or whatever a more up to date source has but I can't honestly see how the remainder has any meaningful encyclopaedic value whatsoever. As has been stated above, a number of these geography stubs were created by Rambot back in 2002 and many have been left to rot ever since, this is far from the first case I have seen this sort of thing. However, if other sources can be supplied that explain the importance of the demographic backgrounds, I think they can stay, cited to those. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:13, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Delta Junction, Alaska

The Delta News Web
I propose to add an external link to The Delta News Web, http://www.deltanewsweb.com

While I have been told that it is not normally proper to add or suggest links that one has a personal interest in (I am the publisher), I wonder if in this case the link might be appropriate and helpful. The Delta News Web is a heavily used local news and information resource, and people outside the area interested in the community will find it helpful. There are many pages of photos and other information about life in Delta, mainly contributed by the community.

What is the procedure now?

Thanks...David

Mayor
This may be trivia, but...I found myself reading through various things, as I couldn't stay awake long enough to finish the work I started. From that reading, it appears that Mayor Hallgren was also mayor of Sitka during the 1990s. There have been a number of individuals throughout Alaska's history who have been the mayor of more than one town or city, but I don't believe those cases involved two cities spread as far apart as Delta Junction and Sitka.

Comment
Perhaps there should be a mention of the fact that this tiny hamlet has no less than five places of worship, including a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints... Also the Queen two should be mentioned, along with the rest of Holland America's business. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.25.100.46 (talk) 18:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The Wikipedia page on Ice Dams shows Eagle in a flood of ice and water (2009?) This sounds like an important part of the town's recent history. Perhaps someone familiar with the event could include it in the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KBurchfiel (talk • contribs) 19:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal: Merge Eagle, Alaska, Eagle Historic District and Fort Egbert
I'm not sure about merging Fort Egbert, as it's a separate entity. For instance, Fort Lowell and Tucson, Arizona are separate articles -- even though Ft. Lowell is now well within metro Tucson. Is there a general policy or custom for this situation? --Pete Tillman (talk) 19:56, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Partial support of merge: I'm definitely in favor of merging Eagle Historic District into Eagle, as they're the same place.
 * Oppose merger of Fort Egbert, as it is Wikipedian custom to have separate articles for defunct forts located adjacent to small towns and villages - Fort Mackinac, Fort de Buade, and Fort Wilkins Historic State Park are examples from northern Michigan. Eagle Historic District could be merged unless there is significant population activity in present-date Eagle outside the historic district, which is doubtful.  Bigturtle (talk) 02:04, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

I just removed these merge tags on the grounds that the merge proposer didn't initiate a discussion – then I noticed that somebody else did. I've returned the tag to Eagle Historic District, but it looks like there's a consensus against merging Fort Egbert (I'm also against it), so I won't add the merge tag back to that article. If that's alright with everyone. DoctorKubla (talk) 07:07, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Bhang

Bhang (IAST: Bhāṅg) is an edible preparation made from the leaves of the cannabis plant originating from the Indian subcontinent. It has been used in food and drink as early as 1000 BC in ancient India. Bhang is traditionally distributed during the spring festival of Maha Shivaratri and Holi. Bhang is mainly used in bhang shops, which sell the cannabis-infused Indian drinks bhang lassi and bhang thandai.

Western documentation
Garcia de Orta, a Portuguese Jewish physician based in Goa, wrote extensively on bangue in his Colóquios dos simples e drogas da India (1563), including its recreational use by Bahadur Shah of Gujarat and by many Portuguese. He explicitly rejected the notion of the Indian plant that produces bangue being the same as the European hemp plant (alcanave).

In 1596, a Dutchman, Jan Huyghen van Linschoten, wrote three pages on "Bangue" in a work documenting his journeys in the East. He also mentioned the Egyptian hashish, the Turkish boza, Turkish bernavi and the Arabic bursj forms of consumption. Despite the other accounts, the contemporary historian Richard Davenport-Hines lists the late-17th-century and early-18th-century British adventurer Thomas Bowrey   as the first Westerner to document the use of bhang.

Preparation
Using mortar and pestle, the leaves of cannabis are ground into a paste which can be added to foods. For a beverage it is mixed with milk and filtered, then often flavored with kusha grass, sugar, fruit, and various spices. In Mathura it can be found in bhang thandai and bhang lassi. Bhang is also mixed with ghee and sugar to make a purple halva, and into peppery, chewy little balls called goli (which means "tablet" as well as "pill") in Hindi. Another form is bhang chutney also called 'bhangeera ki chutney', a dish served in Kumaoni cuisine from Uttarakhand. It is made from grinding cannabis/bhang seeds with mint, tomatoes and different spices.

Culture

Bhang is part of the ancient Hindu tradition and custom in the Indian subcontinent. In some parts of rural India, people attribute various medicinal properties to the cannabis plant. If taken in proper quantity, bhang is believed to cure fever, dysentery, and sunstroke, to clear phlegm, aid in digestion, increase appetite, cure speech imperfections and lisping, and give alertness to the body.

Bhang lassi is a preparation of powdered green inflorescence with curd and whey put in a village blender (a hand blending operation is carried out until the butter rises). It is regarded as tasty and refreshing. It is legal in many parts of India and mainly sold during Holi, when pakoras containing bhang are also sometimes eaten. Uttar Pradesh has licensed bhang shops, and in many places in India one can buy bhang products and drink bhang lassis. Some states such as Bihar and West Bengal also allow the production of bhang. States like Rajasthan do not allow production of bhang but do allow procurement and sale of bhang from such states where production is legal.

The tradition of consuming bhang lassi during Holi is particularly common in North India where Holi itself is celebrated with a fervor unseen elsewhere. Bhang is heavily consumed in Mathura, an ancient town of religious importance to the Hindus. Here the practice is believed to have been introduced by the followers of Shiva and has stayed ever since. They begin the preparation by Sanskrit chants and recitation of prayers. In Mathura, some people take bhang to work up their appetite while others do it to de-stress. But the hub of bhang use is Varanasi where the bhang is prepared on its famous ghats.

Bhang is also available as bhang goli which is just freshly ground cannabis with water. Apart from this, sweetened bhang golis are also widely available; these are not considered a drug, but a traditional sleeping aid and appetizer. Bhang goli has metabolizing effects after approximately two hours, sending a user into a dreamlike meditational state. Bhang is also part of many Ayurvedic medicinal preparations. Bhang powder is available legally at ayurvedic dispensaries.

Legality
The 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs was the first ever international treaty to have included cannabis (or marijuana) with other drugs and imposed a blanket ban on their production and supply except for medicinal and research purposes. However, the Single Convention's definition of 'cannabis' does not include the leaves of the cannabis plant, thereby preserving the legality of bhang culture in India.

Regardless, as bhang has served such an important role in India's culture and spiritual practices, it would be impossible to criminalize cannabis completely in the country. Important festivals such as Holi and Maha Shivratri have traditionally seen people consume bhang during various local festivities. Cultivation of cannabis is government regulated.

India
According to the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act of 1985: "cannabis (hemp)" means-

(a) charas, that is, the separated resin, in whatever form, whether crude or purified, obtained from the cannabis plant and also includes concentrated preparation and resin known as hashish oil or liquid hashish;

(b) ganja, that is, the flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant (excluding the seeds and leaves when not accompanied by the tops), by whatever name they may be known or designated; and

(c) any mixture, with or without any neutral material, of any of the above forms of cannabis or any drink prepared therefrom. As bhang is prepared from the seeds and the leaves of the Cannabis plant, it is not banned under the NDPS Act of 1985. However, some states do regulate and ban the sale and consumption of bhang. Bhang can also be used in the form of medicine if the patient has a prescription from an Ayurvedic practitioner.

In states where sale of bhang is legal, bhang golis or golas are sold openly at places like paan shops with little to no regulation at low prices.

The Natives of Old Chenega were NOT Inuit.
Inuit is not a euphemism for Eskimo. It is a language group. And the people there on Old Chenega, or their ancestors, would have spoken Alutiiq. The weren't Eskimos. Inuit is the language of Greenland and parts of Canada. There are people in Alaska who speak an Inuit-family language, but they call themselves Inupiaq, and the people of Old Chenega were not Inupiaq. The Inupiaq live up North, a thousand miles and more away from Old Chenega. It is like calling all Europeans "Romans", because there is some Latin in many European languages. Before you start calling people strange names, you should talk to one of them and see what they want to be called.Hypercallipygian (talk) 00:12, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Is Chitina a ghost town?
I'd say so; I live 20 miles from it. It's an abandoned mining town. There is a tiny Native village up on a hill, separate from the ghost town.

"It quickly became a ghost town, and eventually even had ‘ghosts’ painted on several of the abandoned buildings." From Sue and Lance Gilpatrick's Hotel site.

Gail Niebrugge calls a painting "The Ghost Town of Chitina."

"In 1938, Kennecott shut the mine. The train stopped running. Chitina became a ghost town." From Art Koeniger's site. Yopienso (talk) 17:20, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Actually, when I was growing up and visited there most summers from some time in the 1950s to the late 1970s, I can remember pictures of ghosts painted on some of the buildings. I don't have a link to something on the Internet to back this up, but for whoever wants to research it, I can attest to the fact. Terry Thorgaard (talk) 19:07, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Archive Photo
The caption and attributions for this historic photo are not entirely correct. The photo is one of a large collection taken by Phinney S. Hunt (1866-1917) in and around Valdez in the early 1900s. Much of his collection was later donated to and is now curated by the Alaska Library Special Collections, including this wonderful photo. PS Hunt was the John Muir of early Valdez.

The caption reads "Valdez in 1910." However the archive collection lists the date of the photo as June 26, 1905. Given that Hunt documented his work meticulously with ID numbers, date, caption, and often additional notes, I think it is best to go with his date of 1905.

The attribution in the photo's Wiki media file gives the impression that the photo is "by Ella Higginson", in fact the download attribution reads "Valdez 1910 by Ella Higginson - Higginson, Ella (1910) Alaska, The Great Country, New York City: The MacMillan Company, pp. p. 148. Licensed under Public Domain via Commons"... I can understand the need to also cite the source of the license to use this photo, however I believe that the contribution made by this visionary photographer to the historic legacy of Valdez should be properly acknowledged and credited with his photo.

Status of Article
This article is a very rough draft, and was not proof-read to a great degree. I am currently working on getting the information from the State of Alaska's community information database copied over for each community, at which point I will come back through and start editing. If this message is still here, that means I have yet to come back. Of course, please feel free to clean this up, hopefully to conform with the WikiProject_Cities standards (or at least, as well as can be done for Alaska's unique villages and towns). Thanks!! —akghetto talk 13:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, for starters, knowing which indigeneous people it is that's 90% of the population would help I was going to add a cat maybe for Yupik or Aleut or whomever it is here, but there's no clue on the page. If this is a majority indigenous settlement, something on their culture and government and social conditions would probably be a worthy addition/edition.Skookum1 (talk) 03:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Looking through this directory of municipal officials in Alaska from the 1970s for more specific incorporation dates than what later sources seem willing to provide, I came across Chevak's entry, and see multiple entries here which appear to be of people bearing Armenian surnames. Was this a result of long-ago religious influence, mere coincidence, my imagination? Throw me a bone here, if you dare. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 01:31, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Petersburg Seal.jpg
Image:Petersburg Seal.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 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 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.BetacommandBot 06:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Unverifiable Statement
The Economy section of this article the following statement appears "Petersburg has the most efficient and effective small boat fishing fleet in the world." it is noted that there is no citation for this statement however I do not believe that there is any way to verify it with any citation. I would like to remove the statement unless anyone has any objections or studies ranking the efficiency of fishing fleets around the world. I have found a few studies looking at the efficiency of fishing but not one of them rank fleets from specific locations. Crininger (talk) 01:28, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Borough
Not sure anyone actually patrols this page, but Petersburg incorporated as a borough almost two weeks ago:   -Kudzu1 (talk) 09:17, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This article should remain titled as is and pertain only to the city of Petersburg. There should be a new article entitled Petersburg Borough, Alaska, which would pertain to the new borough. The reason is that the city of Petersburg comprises only 77.27% of the borough's population (2010 census), and only 1.34% of its land area. There are three other cities in the borough: Kake, which comprises 14.6% of its population, Kupreanof, which comprises 0.71%, and Port Alexander, which comprises 1.36%. Unincorporated areas comprise the balance of 6.06% of its population, and more importantly, 98.16% of the borough's land area. Backspace (talk) 07:42, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) "City" has a very specific meaning in Alaska. There is no City of Petersburg anymore. 2) You may wish to peruse the links found above, particularly the map provided with the KTOO story.  The southwestern boundary of the borough snakes along Kupreanof Island to avoid including Kake, which means that Port Alexander isn't included either. 3) The Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development's Community Database Online separately lists Petersburg, the Petersburg Borough and the Petersburg Census Area, which is sufficient for establishing independent notability of these entities.  However, what does the Census Bureau currently have to say?  I think the course of action here would be to redesignate the former corporate boundaries of the City of Petersburg as the Petersburg CDP, replace the Petersburg Census Area with the Petersburg Borough as a major census division of the state, and move the remaining territory into Hoonah–Angoon.  However, that would be WP:CRYSTAL if I went onto the Census website and found that nothing has been updated yet or announced as a change from existing data. 4) While I do support having separate articles for the former city/CDP and the borough, keep in mind that what we're talking about here also applies to Skagway and Yakutat.  The only reason we already have separate articles in the case of Haines is that they already had a borough in place when they reincorporated. RadioKAOS  –  Talk to me, Billy  21:40, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I should have specified that I was giving data from the 2010 census, the latest official numbers that I had to work with. These numbers will have changed since then because of whatever new boundaries have been drawn. My main point was that the "city" of Petersburg should remain as the urban area and not the current borough, since it is only a very small part (by area; by population it is a major part however) of the new borough. As far as areas that are not in the new borough, what evidence do with have so that we could put them into the Hoonah-Angoon census area? They weren't there before the new borough existed. Is there still a "remainder" to the Petersburg Census Area, even though Petersburg and most of its territory have gone away? Backspace (talk) 10:40, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Forts San Dionysius/Stikine/Wrangell
I've been pending for a while on making a Fort Stikine article, which from what I know about it can incorporate the Russian facility as they were teh same building, and same era/purpose. Fort Wrangell was a military outpost which, though on the same spot, was from a different era and a different undertaking; primarily military as opposed to fur trade, though both Russian and British facilities were necessarily garrisoned due to the ongoing state of generalized warfare in the region (the marine fur trade was often as much a war as it was business....). Just wanted feedback from Wrangellites (Wrangellians?) - will two articles Fort Stikine and Fort Wrangell work, or will they just wind up being merged? Fort Wrangell currently redirects here, and maybe should continue to, unless there's enough about it to warrant its own article;in Fort Stikine's case there is.....Skookum1 (talk) 15:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Statistical silliness
I know this is a standard way that US and Canadian demograhpic breakdowns are presented, but for small-population places it just seems asinine:
 * '' of 2000, there were 2,308 people, 907 households, and 623 families residing in the city. The population density was 51.0 people per square mile (19.7/km²). There were 1,092 housing units at an average density of 24.1/sq mi (9.3/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 73.48% White, 0.13% Black or African American, 15.51% Native American, 0.65% Asian, 0.13% Pacific Islander, 0.35% from other races, and 9.75% from two or more races. 1.00% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

The reason is seems asinine, is that 0.13% Black or 0.13% Pacific Islander is a pretty specific small number, as in a whole three people each. Referring to people in statistical terms for such small places comes off very odd when you stop to look at the actual figures - people are idnividuals, not percentages; I'm not meaning to pick on teh Wrangell article but it's a problem across the board with demographic data for small places; even worse for places with only 100 or 200 inhabitants. "15.51% Native American" has a lot more relevance if it said "300 Tlingit people" (or whatever the precise no. is, I didn't do the calculation). if they're all Tlingit, that is, and not from elsewhere (as some might be).Skookum1 (talk) 19:05, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think in cases like this it would be perfectly accesptable to change the percent to an actual number. Hmmm, I think I'll do it... Proxy User (talk) 16:26, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Size of Borough
Apparently, the geographical size of the new borough is larger than I had thought, according to maps that I have seen. I recently plugged in values for the area and population of the City of Wrangell as it stood during the census of 2000. These numbers are far too small to encompass the area shown on maps, which show the new borough to comprise over 40 percent of the former Wrangell-Petersburg Census Area. This may coincide with Census Tract 3, but I do not have any proof; it only appears to be very close from looking at maps. If this is indeed the case, then Wrangell Borough would be some 43.425% of Wrangell-Petersburg's land area, and its population would be 2,424 as of 2000. These numbers are verifiable only if we assume correctly that Census Tract 3 coincides with Wrangell Borough. Backspace (talk) 08:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Russian Redoubt and Shakes clan house
Anyone know a source for the info in this article:

 * ..clan house of Chief Shakes called Shéiksh Hídi. This house was located about 13 miles (21 km) north of Old Wrangell, on a small island in the middle of what is today Wrangell Harbor. The stockade, named Redoubt Saint Dionysius (Редутъ Санктъ Дионѵсіусъ), was founded at the location of present-day Wrangell and stood near the end of the small peninsula that forms the northeastern side of the mouth of the harbor.

I've been trying to figure out where the Russian redoubt was exactly. It makes sense that it was in Wrangell Harbor, but I can't find a source with the kind of precise info above. Also, the peninsula was on the northeast side of the harbor? So it wasn't Point Shekesti? Maps show the northeast side all developed into port facilities, so it is hard to tell whether there was a peninsula, and quite where (see, for example, this NOAA nautical chart). Anyone have a source for the above quote? Thanks. Pfly (talk) 17:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Anvik (name)
Anvik means Powerful and complete.

The Anvik family name is an old family line that has spread all across the world over time, and as the name Anvik has migrated, it has changed making its etymology a challenge to piece together. This Anvik research page contains the contributed history of the Anvik last name made up of user-uploaded content from other users interested in the Anvik family. Anvik family history has a rich and complex origin whose details have been accumulated over the years by Anvik family members.

The evolution of Anvik begins with the origins of the surname. Even in the earliest days of a name there are different spellings of that name simply because last names were infrequently written down at that stage in history. Anvik ancestors have migrated around different countries all throughout history. It was not unusual for a last name to change as it enters a new country or language. As Anvik families moved between countries and languages, the Anvik name may have changed with them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.98.24.231 (talk) 14:48, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Hickel Highway
According to Ice Road Truckers this is only accessible by road in winter by the ice road Hickel Highway... some more info on that would be good. 76.66.197.151 (talk) 08:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The ice road is listed on local maps as winter only (as are many others). This is the first time I've seen it named after Wally. I don't get cable, so I've never seen IRT. I have certainly driven past the turn off many times. 143.232.210.150 (talk) 17:41, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
