[edit] MAP!!!

Please, please a map! I know it is mentioned above, but it's frustrating that there is not one. I'm Canadian and have no idea where this place is!

Let's also get away from the usual Wikipedia practice of including only an outline provincial map of the country or province with the subject area marked out in solid red (see the Wikipedia article "Minas Gerais" [Brazil] as an example).

What we ideally need is a number of maps as follows:

1.) a general location map within Canada and British Columbia for general orientation.
2.) a topographic map of the area that is the subject of the article
3.) area maps of key cities or other areas likely to be of interest to readers

Is it possible for a single set of maps to be used in a number of Wikipedia articles and shared between them?

Overall, Wikipedia mapping practice is not satisfactory and badly needs improvement. FurnaldHall (talk) 00:25, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


I know this is long and more wordy than is usual for Wikipedia's style sheet, but I through-wrote it with the intention of breaking certain things off, like the subarticle on the Cariboo horses. The scale of the district is comparable to several US counties, even whole states, so it may be better to use the county style format for the main chilcotin district page; things like chilcotin history, chilcotin horses, chilcotin literature, chilcotin first nations would be sub/linked pages (the chilcotin first nations page is already in existence as Tsilhqot'in; I created the disambiguation page to create Chilcotin District as the information was missing from the Tsilhqot'in page. Questions to mikeclevenNO@SPAMgmail.com. Sources to be quoted on next revision; advice on format and break-up and other input requested from wikipedia staff.

In the article, I noticed that the link to Hanceville is to the page for Hanceville, Alabama, USA. Probably not what was intended.

cck

yeah, I fixed the link; still no Hanceville, British Columbia article yet, but....Skookum1 (talk) 18:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] todo list

For lack of anywhere else to put these, and as this is the main article for Category:Chilcotin Country, I'll list articles in need of writing/expanding here as a sort of project page for Chilcotin-related articles; others specific to the First Nation will be on Talk:Tsihlqot'in.Skookum1 (talk) 18:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Please add anything else that comes to mind; Edward Choate/Chilco Choate and Sage Birchwater should probably get bios, along with Ralph Edwards if he's not in here already...he's not that link goes to an American broadcaster; so Ralph Edwards (conservationist) or Ralph Edwards (naturalist) are definitely needed; FN bios needed can be listed at Talk:Tsilhqot'in, but for now I'll mention Fred Quilt as an important one to get done.Skookum1 (talk) 18:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
