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

[edit] NEDM
What the hell is "NEDM" on the city nickname? Mercer5089 21:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Yeah whoever put in "NEDM" as the nickname, I'm in FB off and on, know lots of Fairbankians, we never heard of it. Where'd it come from?
- I think it was a reference to a YTMND meme: http://wiki.ytmnd.com/NEDM . It's probably an inside joke, nothing more. White 720 20:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Moose law
Ummm... I beleive the city has banned moose from having sex in the streets. -- Scott Burley 05:41, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
- No, but there was a law, long since repealed, against giving moose alcohol. The story behind it is kind of funny -- a bar owner had a pet moose that would come to the bar, and patrons would give the moose beer. The city mayor took a dim view of having a drunken moose wandering the streets so got the city council to pass the law. 24.178.126.182 17:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Status of Article
This article is a 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 in the State, at which point I will come back through and start editing/Wikifying. 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. Thanks!! —akghetto talk 08:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Home Rule City
What is a Home Rule City? It would be great if someone could define the term here, or better yet, write an article about it (assuming it has a specific meaning under Alaskan law). --Angr (tɔk) 10:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- In Alaska, a home-rule city simply means that it's a city with its own charter. This distinguishes it from a "general-law" city which refers to the state's laws regarding local government as sort of a substitute charter. Similar categories apply to boroughs as well. 24.178.126.182 17:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IPA
The IPA pronunciation as given seems dubious to me, especially that [æ], but I can't quite figure out what to put instead. Thoughts from anyone else? —Zero Gravitas 23:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Media
User, Katrich added 88.5 (K-love) a popular Christian station to the media section and remove references to Fairbanks Open Radio, without any discussion: . http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fairbanks%2C_Alaska&diff=106786897&oldid=106721255
Katrich: thanks for adding K-Love it was an important addition. I feel that Fairbanks Open Radio is also an important development in the media landscape of Fairbanks and belongs in this section. SethDelisle 17:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Festival Fairbanks External Link
Restored external link to the best webcam in town. It was improperly removed as spam by some dude from California.
