Talk:Ketchikan, Alaska

message: This article mentions the population of Ketchikan three different times, and gives a different figure each time! Isn't once enough?

thread_title: Population

message: I removed this content, which someone at 206.223.207.119 added in place of the lead section's third paragraph. Some of it looks like it's backed up by improperly-formatted references and therefore possibly useful. On the other hand, asserting that an isolated town like Ketchikan is a suburb of a place I've never heard of sounds pretty preposterous:
:Ketchikan is accidently named after the old Wrangell. The Tlingit name for the region around Wrangell was called in Tlingit, "Tennath-Kutchin" meaning "Middle People". Swanton "The Tlingit People" page 25. These lands are owned by the Sovereign Tribe of the Hehl, known by the Tlingits as the "Xel Tribe", Foam People. From Boca de Quadra to just above the Stikine River, From Canada to the inside passage, Etolin, Wrangell and Revillagegado island as well as other small islands, are Hehl Tribal Lands. Ketchikan is a suburb of greater Loring.

message: From the article:
The bridge would have connected the island of Ketchikan to Gravina island where the airport is located so one can drive to the airport rather than taking the ferry across the waters.
Uh, no.  The purpose of the bridge was to expand Ketchikan, as land flat enough to build on is in very short supply on Revillagigedo Island.  Being able to drive directly to the airport is merely a side benefit.
Since the Gravina Island Bridge project was so controversial, coincidental with it being a major national media topic, this may represent an NPOV violation, specifically with making the purpose of the bridge appear to be so trivial.RadioKAOS (talk) 10:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I found a Ketchikan Gateway Borough planning document published in the 1970s.  There were a small handful of USFS and USGS photos contained therein, mostly of a historical nature.  None of them appear on the USGS website.  The USFS search engine was too cumbersome for me to spend that much time dealing with.
The photo which originally caught my attention was of the collapse of the Carlanna Creek bridge in 1973.  There were other historical photos which are also appropriate.  I'll make an effort to scan them when I can.  There is one big problem, though.  The article has no history section, and is generally somewhat lacking in historical perspective or information.  That's probably beyond the scope of what I can do right now.  Anyone else?RadioKAOS (talk) 03:49, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

message: This article says Ketchikan is the Southernmost City of Alaska, which is 55 Degrees North.  The article on Adak says its the Southernmost city of Alaska although it is classified as a CDP at 51 Degrees North, and Unalaska is a City that is 53 Degrees North and classified as a City.  Cold Bay, King Cove, and Sand Point are also cities which are 55 Degrees North, so how is Ketchikan the Southernmost City in Alaska?  Saxman is also mentioned as a City and it is South of Ketchikan.  Metlakatla is South of Ketchikan too but it is a CDP.  So there are cities and CDP's south of Ketchikan so should this article be changed to reflect this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.104.170.30 (talk) 21:09, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The article currently says "southeasternmost" and not southernmost, so I believe the only objections to that claim would come from Metlakatla and Saxman. As you say, however, Metlakatla is not an incorporated city, and Saxman, while it has a separate political status, is for all intents and purposes a part of the community of Ketchikan.

thread_title:  Southernmost City is Adak or Unalaska 

message: The article clearly needs a history section. I will look at getting together some sources, but if someone else wants to jumpstart the section thatʼd be great. Ketchikanadian (talk) 05:34, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
