[edit] John Sissons

I was working on the above article when I noticed that the references say he was appointed to the Territorial Court of the Northwest Territories, see http://pubs.aina.ucalgary.ca/arctic/Arctic43-4-404.pdf or Google books (the first hit) and not the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories. I am guessing that the current Supreme was renamed from the Territorial. Anybody know for sure? If so then the two court articles need fixing. Thanks.

[edit] Qamanirjuaq Lake

This is a 2008-02-13 new article, self nom, for DYK?. Thanks in advance if you have an image or can improve it in some other way. Rosiestep (talk) 02:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inuit folklore?

Hi there, we're looking for more info on Polar bear folklore from the far north..anyone who has any folklore material and references is welcome to add it to the polar bear article. much appreciated. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Just to clarify do you mean material that would fall under Inuit mythology such as The Woman and her Bear? Or do you mean material that would be covered by Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit such as polar bears that are found inland are more dangerous than polar bears on the ice?

Well found. I guess the second would be best placed in an interaction bit on dangerousness. This is fascinating. Both are very useful and thanks for the heads up. I am in Australia where there aren't any polar bears and the climate is a bit different. I have to run now but will look into this further today :) Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
The problem is sourcing. The hungry bears is from the elders but I haven't seen it written down anywhere. This might be of interest but I'm not sure that everything is a reliable source but the method is correct. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 05:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images

I think the WP:LAKES images suggestion to include at least one photo in each article is valid for most of this project's articles, too. I'll await discussion here before I start adding the "reqphotoin" template to a batch of this project's Talk pages, or adding it to To do. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
