[edit] Request to reassess Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Hi,

The article is already assessed as a B class, the highest rating that an article can receive without a formal process. The next step would be to take it to WP:GAN to see if it meets the criteria for a Good Article. As a good article reviewer, however, I can tell you that even a quick skim of the article shows too many problems, most pressingly the fact that a large majority of the text in-line citations, which are used as a marker for proper referencing. I suggest that you fix this first as, without these citations, the article may be quickfailed for a lack of proper referencing. After that, you can submit it as a Good Article Nominee at the aforementioned link, where a reviewer will either pass, fail or put the article on hold in order for changes to be made. Good luck.

[edit] Favour

If you have the time I need a favour. What is the correct spelling for the Kitikimeot Boarding Home? Is it the "Lena Pederson Boarding Home" or "Lena Pedersen Boarding Home? Currently we have an article on Lena Pederson but it appears that there is also a Lena Pedersen. I know that Red Pedersen had a wife called Lena (no sources) but I can't track down if they are the same person with a variation on the spelling. If you don't have the time no worries.

Thanks for the quick reply. I hadn't seen those. I did find a Hansard from the GN that managed to spell it Peterson and Pederson at the same time! I'm wondering if there are two different people here but if so who was Pederson. Right after I left you the message I got a call and now I'll be Yellowknife on Saturday for almost a week and I'll take a walk over and look. Cheers.

[edit] The Times Behind the Signs

Could you please do me a favour and delcare that you have a conflict of interest as per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. it would be best to do it now before someone complains. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

That should be OK. It doesn't look to much like you wrote it. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elections NWT photo

Hi, I was wondering if you would be able to snap a photo of the Elections NWT headquarters for use in that article. I think a photo would greatly enhance it. Thanks --Cloveious (talk) 12:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Those photo's are excellent! Thank you very much! --Cloveious (talk) 00:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roads

I just noticed that neither the Yellowknife article or The Times Behind the Signs mentions Ragged Ass Road. It's probably the best know street in the city. There is an article on the Tom Cochrane album Ragged Ass Road. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 16:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Hidden Lake was a disambiguation so I removed it and added a link to outhouse. It appears that Rocher was still alive as of 2005. Looks good. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 17:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Trumbo and Cleo 1947 HUAC hearings.jpg

Thank you for the great fix! What would you think of overwriting the existing image, to preserve the edit history and so as not to make the name longer and more cumbersome? :) Chris (クリス) (talk) 03:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parker's Notch

Do you know anything about this? There is a bit of discussion at User talk:CambridgeBayWeather#Parker's Notch and User talk:Bearcat#Parker's Notch. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 23:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems to me like there is an article in there somewhere — I'm just not knowledgeable enough about the territories to find it (*grin*). Thanks for looking into this. Also, when you're asking around, consider the possibility that it might just be a bad name for something, too. Bearcat (talk) 00:19, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I also just now went to the Toronto Public Library website and put a request in for the John Parker book that's being cited as a reference. Hopefully I'll get it early to mid-week and can look over it to see what the deal is. And over at WP:CWNB, User:JGGardiner gave me a couple of web references for Parker's role in drawing the NWT-Nunavut boundary ([1] and [2]); his guess seems to be that "Parker's Notch" is just a non-standard name for an article about the boundary dispute itself (which would be a good idea if we can manage it!)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Trumbo and Cleo 1947 HUAC hearings4.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Trumbo and Cleo 1947 HUAC hearings4.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 01:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Ballantyne

Was he not mayor of Yellowknife at one time? CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 04:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll add a bit now and the rest next week when I get back from Yellowknife. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 00:35, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yellowknife GA review

Hi, I have reviewed Yellowknife against the Good article criteria. Unfortunately at this time, it does not meet the criteria and as such has not been listed as a Good Article. I have left some notes on the article talk page that may be useful in improving the article. Don't be discouraged, the article is not all that far from meeting the criteria.
