Talk:Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

[edit] Only City

Oh, OK. I misinterpreted that sentence. Maybe it would be better to rephrase it to say something along the lines of: "Yellowknife (62°27′N 114°21′W MST) is the capital of Canada's Northwest Territories, the only city in the territory, and has a population of over 18,000." How does that sound? Rueckk 12:49, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Greeks

There seems to be some minor controversy over including the supposed Greek name of Yellowknife and claims about the Greek-Canadian population there. The source provided (when asked) is a 1913 book which I'm having trouble confirming exists (though I don't speak greek so that's kind of a handicap). When adding disputed claims, the burden is on the person adding them to provide a sufficient source (see WP:V) and books that may or may not exist, and especially personally knowledge, don't really meet that standard. Especially since at least one life-long Yellowknife resident thinks the edits are dubious too (see my talk page). So long story short, DRMAKA or anyone else who thinks the claim is true, please provide a reliable source to back up your claims about the recent Greek-Canadian stuff. --W.marsh 13:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Range?

Who's idea was it to include an entry on the F#&%ing Range on Wikipedia??? Rough and Tumble? Try a dangerous hole in the wall. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fancyismyname (talk • contribs) 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation for native name

That name meaning "where the money is" doesn't seem completely true. Maybe a reference would be good. What do people think? Supercraft99 19:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
