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

Thomas Campbell
I need to see some documentation before I accept this stuff about Campbell and The Pleasures of Hope. Frankly, it makes no sense to me whatsoever, both chronologically and logically. Show me that Campbell knew about Ounalashka somehow (almost no one in Europe or even the United States did during his lifetime) and explain to me how he would link Ounalashka with the lumber industries Outside, given the fact that there are exactly ZERO indigenous trees on the islands. (There are a few [less than 100] stunted trees that have obtained "towering" heights of perhaps 12 feet high in the 200 years since the Russians planted them. Cut one down, and change your address to a prison residence.) Unschool 05:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

To the People Of Unalaska: You are Part of American Frontier Place Name History Through Thomas Campbell
There is no connection of Unalaska to the lumber industry. Only the four Onalaskas of the lower 48 are associated with lumber. Unalaska and the lower 48's Onalaskas are only related through Campbell's poem. If he had not decided to write the poem, no new Onalaskas would exist in the United States.

The people of Europe knew about the existence of what we now know as Unalaska,long before you have noted, Unschool.

The name "Onalaska" definitely comes from Unalaska Island and what is now the current City of Unalaska, Alaska. Thomas Campbell would often use what he thought were exotic place names in his poems. Yet, he would often make mistakes when using them. In The Pleasures of Hope, for example, he connects wolves to Unalaska. There are no wolves in Unalaska and probably haven't been since the last ice age. Even naturalist and writer John Muir pointed out the lack of wolves, etc. on Unalaska Island.

Campbell's collection of poems were popular in public schools in the United States in the mid-1800s. One of the founders of Onalaska, WI, Thomas G. Rowe (NY) carried a copy with him on his journeys. He decided to give his new town the name "Oonalaska" as it had been spelled in Campbell's poem. His friend and roommate at the time, attorney and later judge Harvey Hubbard, thought he should drop the superfluous (extra) "o" and so came about the modernday spelling of Onalaska. An added note, Unschool, Thomas G. Rowe's business partner in his Onalaska venture was John C. Laird, who had taught school in Pennsylvania and in La Crosse, WI. Laird's brother-in-law, Abner Goddard, was the first school teacher in the then village of La Crosse. These people had to be aware of the popularity of Campbell's poems in the grade schools of the frontier United States.

The name Onalaska was carried by settlers and lumberman as they moved across the American frontier. People from Onalaska,WI founded Onalaska, AR. That new settlement eventually failed and settlers from the area moved south and founded Onalaska, TX. In turn, people from Onalaska, TX helped found Onalaska, WA.

People from the other Onalaskas are very aware of the existence of Unalaska, its connection to the fishing industry as well as its World War II history. They know there are no naturally grown trees there, except those planted. Men stationed in the Aleutians during WWII have visited Onalaska, WI.

Unalaska, you are not alone. You have sister cities in the lower 48, due in large part, to romantic poet Thomas Campbell, who never travelled outside of Europe.

The Pleasures of Hope was finished in 1799. It was very popular but was not one of Campbell's favorite poems that he wrote. Campbell was interviewed about his famous "wolf couplet" in the Pleasures of Hope in 1844 by Fraser's Magazine, a British literary publication (the article from the interview was published in Nov. of 1844). In the interview, Campbell makes note that he borrowed the couplet from another earlier poem, the Sentimental Sailor. Campbell is so famous for The Pleasures of Hope and that particular wolf couplet that the couplet is inscribed on his tombstone in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey, England.

A final note: Campbell wrote The Pleasures of Hope after living and working on the Island of Mull, one of the Hibredes Islands of Scotland -- he became extremely homesick. A college friend had written to him about new poems that were coming out, including The Pleasures of Imagination, The Pleasures of Memory, and the Pleasures of Solitude. The friend ended his letter with "Let us cherish the Pleasures of Hope that we soon may meet in our old Alma Mater" -- and thus came about the title of Campbell's new poem, published when he was 21 years old.

At the very least, the people of Unalaska should know that their island is immortalized in Poets' Corner,Westminster Abbey. No other place in the United States can claim such an honor, in association with the greatest writers and poets of the English speaking world.

See: The biography on Campbell by Mary Ruth Miller; Also "From Sawmills to Sunfish" by John and Joan Dolbier, as well as various La Crosse County, Wisconsin histories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.23.210 (talk • contribs) 09:00, January 24, 2006

Year of the Alaska Purchase Should be Included
The year of the Alaska Purchase by the United States (1867) should be included in the article about Unalaska. As the article now reads, it sounds as if the purchase was made in 1880: "In 1880, after the Alaska Purchase, the Methodist Church ..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.23.210 (talk • contribs) 19:13, January 24, 2006

Jack London
A bit of trivia: Writer Jack London used the place name Unlalaska in The Sea Wolf:

"Smallpox in 'Onolulu, two broken legs in Shanghai, pnuemonia in Unalaska, three busted ribs an' my insides all twisted in 'Frisco."

John Muir's Association with Unalaska Island
It would be an interesting addition to this article if mention were made of the visit of John Muir to the Aleutians during the cruise of the Corwin in 1881:

A rather dull, uninteresting article.

The usual Wiki overstatement
Some lefty working in Dutch Harbor for a year doesn't make him a notable resident. And as for his project, "one of the most politically powerful poverty-reduction organizations on Capitol Hill..." The fact that its contact address is a Seattle PO Box (see borgenproject.org/Contact.html) means it's probably not on Capitol Hill. I merely eliminated the ridiculous overstatement for now, but that whole section should probably be reworked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.177.137.191 (talk • contribs)

Unalaska vs. Dutch Harbor
It would be nice if the article were clearer about why it is sometimes called Dutch Harbor. Was it ever officially named that? Or was it just a nickname? If so, why? That would be useful. --174.20.160.195 (talk) 20:38, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Dutch Harbor is the name of the port on Amaknak Island and is the common name of the island; it is part of Unalaska city, which in turn is part of Unalaska Island. It is common enough that Unalaska Airport has the IATA and FAA code DUT. --Rumping (talk) 10:07, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Bald eagles
This picture from panoramio suggests (if you zoom in) that there is a large population of bald eagles, presumably feeding from the fishing boats. --Rumping (talk) 10:07, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Poem
I notice the poem is back out of the article now and I wonder why. Is it because we can't actually be sure that Campbell was writing about the same Unalaska, or is there some other reason? It's remarkable to me that there is a town in Alaska for which three other towns in the lower 48 have been named; probably the only example of an Alaskan Native placename appearing outside of Alaska. — Soap — 20:24, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

How is it that Semen Lukin discovered Gold around Aniak in 1932 when it is also reported that a man of the same name operated a post called Lukin's Odinochka on the Kuskokwim river in 1839 (see http://www.akhistorycourse.org/articles/article.php?artID=94) and traveled the Kukskokwim River with Laventiy Zagoskin in 1842 (see http://vilda.alaska.edu/site-templates/timeline.html)? His age would have been more then 100. --Feyer 15:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I found the USGS data for this area at http://ardf.wr.usgs.gov/ardf_data/RussianMission.pdf and there is no mention of gold deposits near Aniak nor does it mention Semen Lukin making any discoveries. I will note this reference as unfounded. --Feyer 02:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I may have found the problem, albeit in an obscure place. The Aniak Airport master plan includes a community history, and says Semen Lukin found gold in 1832, which would make more sense. The DCED history could have just had a typo in it, which then propagated over the Internet through being in this article. (Of course, the above link itself could be the mistake, too) —Zero Gravitas 03:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * That would also, if true, explain the lack of USGS info; they were in no position to know what was going on in Russian America in 1832. —Zero Gravitas 03:13, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Maybe - but, the USGS data is very comprehensive, and typically if someone is "credited" with discovery of gold in Alaska, it is the USGS who does the crediting.--Feyer 03:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bethel, Alaska

Old talk
The first paragraph states Bethel is west of Anchorage-and Anchorage is NOT THE CAPITAL OF ALASKA

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

Is it really necessary to have four dense paragraphs of statistics?

Demographics

According to the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, as of 2006, there were an estimated 5,960 people living in Bethel. As of the 2000 census there were 5471 people, 1,790 households, and 1,190 families residing in the city. The population density was 49/km² (125.0/mi²). There were 2,310 housing units at an average density of 18/km² (46/mi²). The racial makeup of the city is 27% White, 1% Black or African American, 62% Native American, 3% Asian, 0.16% Pacific Islander, 0.51% from other races, and 7% from two or more races. 2% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race.

There are 1,790 households out of which 46% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 51.2% are married couples living together, 18% have a female householder with no husband present, and 30% are non-families. 25% of all households are made up of individuals and 3% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is 3.0 and the average family size is 3.7.

In the city the population is spread out with 33% under the age of 18, 12% from 18 to 24, 31% from 25 to 44, 20% from 45 to 64, and 6% who are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 29 years. For every 100 females there are 110 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 110 males.

The median income for a household in the city is $56,900, and the median income for a family is $62,400. Males have a median income of $44,900 versus $39,000 for females. The per capita income for the city is $20,300. 11% of the population and 11% of families are below the poverty line. Out of the total population, 10% of those under the age of 18 and 18% of those 65 and older are living below the poverty line.

If somebody were that interested in this, she could go to the Census Bureau website. molto_agitato 19:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

There are contradictory population estimates. Is Bethel's population 6,262, 5,960, or 5,471? molto_agitato 19:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

County?
What are the best redirects for Bethel County and Bethel (CA) County found in 'nets? - Altenmann >t 19:15, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Any such redirects should be to Bethel Census Area, Alaska, as this article is supposed to be about the city of Bethel (two closely related, but separate, things). RadioKAOS –  Talk to me, Billy  01:34, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

News vs History
I was drawn here by the posting on WP:ANI. The town's high school burning down is more than just news; it's a part of the town's history (especially for a relatively small town like Bethel). User:Michaelh2001 was adding too much information - the detail that the library had historically important Yu'pik artifacts is notable, the fact that a gym burned down and a dormitory did not isn't really notable. But the high school burning down is definitely more notable than a hoax involving Taco Bell. So I've restored part of Michaelh2001's edits, and deleted the paragraph about the Taco Bell hoax. Argyriou (talk) 19:28, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

 * I appreciate your help, and am glad to see some sense return to this discussion. I assume good faith, but the notion that including info about a fire that destroyed two schools that hold Yupik artifacts and learning materials is "un-encyclopedic" is utterly ridiculous. I was incredulous, because I stated in the article how the Yupik artifacts were impacted. I thank you for your help. One small correction, my original posts stated that the gym did not burn down. Thanks again! Juneau Mike (talk) 16:12, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Punk Ash
A widespread practice in this community is to burn a local tree fungus to make ‘punk ash’. There are several dozen places with handmade signs advertising it for sale. It is added to chewing tobacco to intensify the nicotine buzz, and is legal. This is done in other Alaska villages. What about a mention of this? It is pretty big.

More info at punkash.com

Windmills
I added a section about the windmills in Kasigluk. I'm a big fan of wind power, so if it sounds too much like I'm shilling for Big Wind, let me know how you would rephrase it. Still, I think it's noteworthy; it's become one of the village's defining features, and has gotten the attention of the energy media ( by which I mean both the electric utility industry and alternative-energy advocates) Akbeancounter 23:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

edit request

 * Regarding this edit which tagged the census sources as not supporting the population numbers, :
 * I am sure this was done in good faith, but this is a known issue with census information, their website is notoriously difficult to link to with any specificity. (you can link to specific pages, but often when others click the link they get redirected to a main page, it is super annoying) Perhaps this link will work? it's just search results but backs up the number in the article. I would do so myself, but I was there leading the team that collected and reported the 2020 census data for the village, so I have a COI about what I can't help think of as "my" data. Despite having worked for the bureau, I find their website confusing and difficult to navigate. (these remote villages are some of the very last places to have been counted using paper-and-pencil techniques, due to unreliable internet in these villages. I had to physically connect my laptop to an ehternet cable to even get online, no wiki in the whole village at that time)

Name
I found a source at epodunk stating that Kwethluk translates to "Bad River," but they say that it's Eskimo. Given that the Yukon-Kuskokwim area is Yup'ik territory, I find it rather unlikely that Kwethluk is an Eskimo name. The state's official page on Kwethluk states that the name just means "river," so I'm changing it. Akbeancounter 23:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Poverty line
Is it really plausible that with a median income of zero, none of the population is below the poverty line? Richard Pinch 20:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC) <-- No it's not plausible

Population
The population was actually between 40 and 50 in the 90s and 2000s, as can be seen here: http://live.laborstats.alaska.gov/pop/migration/PFDMigrationPlace.xls http://live.laborstats.alaska.gov/pop/estimates/data/TotalPopulationBCA_1990to2000.xls — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.177.238.87 (talk • contribs)
 * The issue there is probably to do with census methodology. The census picks one day every ten years as "census day" and tries to record where people live or stay most of the time as of that specific day. This day is usually in April. So, if there are seasonal residents who are only there is summer they wouldn't get counted. I don't know that this is what happened here but it's possible.

Talk:Newtok, Alaska

Tok/Newtok
Are any wikipedia editors concerned about possible confusion with Tok, Alaska? Mang (talk) 16:34, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I suppose a hatnote wouldn't hurt, except that it will be irrelevant once they become Mertarvik.
 * Since most community articles were mass-created based on data from one census (2000, to be exact), some interesting details are missing. The 1980 census reported Newtok as a city (a number of communities in this part of Alaska have disincorporated over the years), with part of the former corporate limits actually located in the Wade Hampton Census Area, an area which contained no population.  Since I haven't had the opportunity to look over 1990 census data in such detail, I'm unclear as to exactly how that was corrected in later censuses.

City?
Why is this place being described as a city with only 208 people? If it has received a city charter with this few people, I think that should be noted as that would be unusual. 23skidoo 03:11, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

 * No, it's not at all unusual. Alaska (like many states) doesn't distinguish between "cities", "towns", "villages", "townships", or anything else. All incorporated settlements are "cities". —Zero Gravitas 05:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Expansion: there's no lower limit on incorporation. Kupreanof is, as far as I know, the smallest incorporated city in the state, with a population of 23. And there are similarly small places elsewhere—Ismay, Montana for instance. 208 isn't even interestingly small compared to that. —Zero Gravitas 05:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

 * And since you mentioned it in your original comment, which is being steadily buried under my replies, I've added a note to that effect on the Kupreanof article, with my source. Thanks for getting me thinking about the subject... even if months after you forgot even making the comment! —Zero Gravitas 05:48, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Expanded Article
I added a few things about the village; I had a chance to visit in July and October 2006. I based it on my personal experience, but since I was able to source it out, I don't think that that counts as first-hand research. One thing that I left out, but is mentioned at the hovercraft article, is that one of the hovercraft used to access Nunapitchuk is the only such vehicle owned by the USPS; I'm also told that it's the only USPS vehicle that accepts passengers, but I couldn't find an authoritative source to back that up, only a handful of personal web pages. Also, I believe there's at least one private hovercraft provider, so I'm not sure how long that will be true. I'm also looking through my photo collection to see if I have any nice shots of Nunapitchuk I can donate. Akbeancounter 23:03, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
