[edit] Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

This article has been around for a while, but not a whole lot has changed or been added to it lately. I think it would be a good idea to get some feedback on it, and comments on how it could be improved. -YK Timestalk 01:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

  • "Raven Mad Daze is a street festival celebrated every year as part of the Solstice Festival, by the residents of Yellowknife..." has had a {{fact}} tag for a month or so... I think I added it, even. Would be nice to have that addressed by a local or someone who knows if this is a big festival or what. --W.marsh 01:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
  • "Raven Mad Daze" is in fact a long running, semi-notable annual event on the the summer solstice. It used to be much, much bigger than it is currently, but I would say it is just as notable as Caribou Carnival. And yes, I am a resident. -YK Timestalk 00:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • It would still be a good idea to have a third-party source confirming the importance. --W.marsh 04:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
  • It needs more coverage to be comprehensive. Off the top of my head the things it is missing a city article should cover are government/politics, demographics, infrastructure (transportation, roads, sanitation, etc), economics (largest employers, type of economy, etc). Check Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities, which in fact could use some improvement along the infrastructure lines. Ann Arbor may be a good guideline to look after since it's one of the city FAs with the smallest population. Oh, and of course it needs some reliable references. See what are the best books and sources on the city and find those. - Taxman Talk 21:42, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I've worked up some additions and re-writes to the article. Check them out here. -YK Timestalk 02:20, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Definite improvements, I think you should merge that in right away so other's can help improve it too. Still needs more references and fleshing out, but it's on the right track. - Taxman Talk 13:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

  • The last few sections (Culture, Media, Regional Mines) are simple bulleded lists. They could be converted to prose. Regional Mines should go under the Economy section, eventually as a table. Law and Government could be renamed to Government (or Politics). Climate and Physical Geography could be renamed to "Geography and climate" (note sentence case for section titles) or Geography with a subsection on Climate (most Canadian Cities use that layout). History, Law and Government and Economy sections need more references. The lead would need more context (as to the importance of Yellowknife in Canada). Maybe a better map can be found for the infobox, one that shows the entire NWT with Yellowknife emphased. --Qyd 14:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Here's another one: "In the Dogrib language, the city is called Somba K'e ("where the money is").". This could do with a citation. --W.marsh 04:06, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
