I whole-heartedly disagree with User:Qyd and his/her rating of "Low." Wikis' definition is as follows:
Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within the field of Alaska, and may have been included primarily to achieve comprehensive coverage of another topic.
This does not represent the history of the White Pass at all. Numerous books have been written on the White Pass by notable historians as it was the second most popular and used trails during Klondike Gold Rush as well as the reason the city of Skagway, Alaska was born. Can someone please change this importance level. A message to Qyd: Using Google would have easily shown you just how important the White Pass was, and still is. In the future please engage the most basic research before taking upon yourself in deciding the importance level of an article. Soapy (talk) 01:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- If you feel otherwise, just change the importance assessment. If you wish to be more convincing, improve the article so the importance becomes apparent. And, most important, don't take it personal. --Qyd (talk) 03:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Can't be high for WP Canada, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/Assessment#Importance scale. Changed to Mid. --Qyd (talk) 15:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- May be high importance for Alaska but meets Low importance for WPCanada Importance scale: "The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Canada, but may cover topics directly related to Canada." DoubleBlue (Talk) 17:20, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
